Braveheart gay

Braveheart () - Mel Gibson, who had been heavily criticized for a December interview with a Spanish magazine, was accused of homophobia for the film's portrayal of the Prince of Wales (and future King Edward II) as an effeminate homosexual. Braveheart is a American epic historical war drama film directed and produced by Mel Gibson, who portrays Scottish warrior William Wallace in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England.

The film also stars Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, Catherine McCormack and Angus Macfadyen. In that sense, Braveheart is an illuminating time capsule. The prince of England is a simpering stereotype, incapable of leadership and impotent to impregnate his strategically-garnered French wife. For plot purposes he’s homosexual, but the tone of the film makes him asexual: a hapless eunuch.

Braveheart seems to take great delight in portraying Prince Edward as a gay stereotype. In fact, the film wastes no time in letting the audience know how gay he is, when they show him making eyes at his male confidant during his wedding to Isabella of France.

An old post, but perhaps still open to some "new" information LXVI, pp. After she had gone to France, a letter Isabella wrote is preserved in the original Latin in Chron. II, p. Isabella is quite clear here that Despencer has stolen her marriage bed. She vows vengeance. She got it Isabella's peculiar anatomic mutilation of Despencer now makes perfect sense, no? What is the saying, Hell hath no fury like a woman spurned LOL, exactly!

What I find interesting is that we actually seem to be more homophobic today than during the reign of our beloved Edward II. Being gay is not just "sleeping" with another man; it's a lot more than that. I can understand how the King must have felt and it's quite obvious to me that he was deeply in love with Gaveston. It's been noted that Gaveston was handsome and attractive.

The King, being that he was, had every right to take him as he pleased, as monarchs have had "mistresses" over the years. He wasn't afraid of anyone, not even his wife, and he lived his life the way he pleased. I wish all of us gay men could say that! And the fact that he was actually able to do so for so long, proves that people in those days weren't so afraid of male-to-male sex or affection as they are today.

It happened and nobody talked about it. On the other hand, the King was also a victim of a vicious hate crime by his wife and her lover. The way he was killed is horrid. It's obvious she was jealous of Gaveston, but what I find puzzling is that she didn't let it just be.

She had her lover and the King had his. As far as his recorded murder and death. King Edward 11 had handed his crown to his loved and deeply respected son. Barclay Castle protected Edward as directed by the new strong King Edward Having talked to old Barclay the owner of castle today a real gentleman and fellow rose grower.

I see it more that Edward was not a prisoner of Barclay Castle or its owners. More over he was not murdered there. Now that coffin dripping blood as it crossed into the cathedral. Why blood because the face was so beaten up no one could say who it was dead. Barclay sent a fast horse rider with letter to the new king telling him his father was dead.

Code in fact for the King to act. His ship stood waiting now for the kings own father to escape to France and by horse to Italy where he donned the robes of a monk.
