from Great Queers in History

Edward II, the son of Eleanor of Castile, fell head over heels in love with Piers Gaveston, and they even had a religious ceremony that resembled a marriage... well, not exactly, it was more like a religious bonding, but you know, with some intimacy, even though the Church didn't allow such things.

It includes very medieval content in the form of public execution and the music of their time, as always, which you can listen to in this Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6WbB0z48Coe3qfoHy7EsVL?si=VASdBSXESpS6vjpWWEgfGg
