From what I've read, historians pretty much assume Richard I was definitely gay.
Shucks, he wrote love songs to his boyfriend.

As for slaughtering thousands of poor Arabs, the worse charge is that he (or
rather his men, Richard did not sully his hands killing ordinary people, he saved
his talents for other knights & kings) killed thousands of Christians and Jews on
the way to his Crusade and during the course of it.

Romantic figure definitely, gay most probably, great warrior and even a well above
average war leader, but not a particularly good king. The whole ten years he was
King of England he only visited the place twice briefly.

Well, I don't know, but that would go with compassionate
conservatism.

Interesting that someone as homophobic as you would reference this
Richard. Closer to his own time he was known not as "lionheart" but as
Richard "yea and nay" and the Latin quote applied to J. Caesar was
updated into the vernacular for him: "Richard: every man's woman."

I see, you mean that CM is a backward MC? Or that MC is ahead of CM.
Either way I'd say you are right!
