A correction: if someone is bisexual, they are still bisexual even if they are in a heterosexual or homosexual relationship.
True. That desire never goes away.
Yes, that is very valid.
When they said "homosexual" in the video, know that this term includes "bisexual".
So what? Heterosexual and homosexual, straight-gay are the umbrella term for the exclusive opposite sex and same-sex relationship because bisexual is not an exclusive sexual orientation, so i think it's fine and you can understand that.

Why does everyone back then have the exact same face??!
all the paintings were not what they looked like, they're all edited to the previous European beauty standard.
You could say exactly the same thing about Hollywood celebs and wannabees, especially if they've had plastic surgery, which means 99% of them.
@Notre Aira There IS a generic Hollywood look which makes identifying celebs damn hard for people like me who don't give a hoot about that sort of thing. And in the old days, remember, most people had smallpox scars, or rotten teeth, etc, and the court painters had to flatter their subjects, or else.
Maybe inbreeding
Beauty cannon biases depending on trends by the painters. And maybe that most European royals and nobles are closely related.
This is like celebrity gossip but actually interesting
Yes!!
So true this is so interesting
it IS celebrity gossip :)) royalties are famous so they can be considered celebrities. On a different note, that's how my history teacher captured my interest haha, he made everything sound like a gossip.

"He was the first member of the British Royal family to be openly homosexual"
He isn't though. He states his attraction "goes both ways". He is bisexual.
And?? he is still LGBT
@@iamcyber it's a huge issue that the B in LGBT+ has been battling for years now
omfg dude “being openly homosexual” doesnt mean he’s gay it just means he is the first member of royal family who was open about his attraction to same sex, why tf does she need to emphasize that his attraction goes both ways? being openly heterosexual was common who tf cares about him being attractred to women when thats the norm
TheBrcylmz it kind of invalidates his identity, which he himself said, he isn’t heterosexual for dating women as much as he isn’t homosexual for dating a man - when you erase bi identities people have this idea you have to one or the other, or that you have changing identities, when it’s not true.
Highly doubt they'd care about terms
I have an 3 essays due in 8 hours and I haven’t slept in days and I can’t choose between school and sleep so this is what I’m doing
Are you ok now 🥺
Lol! Are you me?!?
Xiomara Maybe 😳
Hope your doing better!
How did it go? 😂
Not really related to the video but if I paid a hell of a lot of money for a painting and the painter included my double chins I'd be PISSED 😭
AAAH I THOUGHT THIS TOO
In this era, it was considered beautiful to be fat lol
Meant you had enough money to be able to eat
Yeah and they props had 4 chins they made then have only one lol
LMFAO 😭 SAME
They used to think that double chins made you powerful 😭
Please there’s enough bi erasure as it is. If Ivar himself has stated that he is bisexual, that does not make him gay just because he’s marrying a man. He’s still bi unless he himself states something else
Exactly! Who you marry doesn't change who you are!
But if you are bi, then you are still gay. Having sex with the same gender is homosexual. Just like how they are also heterosexual. It’s both, not neither
yeah, the title should be LGBT royals, i'm tired of lesbians, bi's and pan's been called "gay"
@@mypantsarefilledwithbeans6508 it's almost like there is a word for someone who is sexually attracted to both men and women

Emma Campbell - Could have been that money talks.
Ravenesque One that is very true but I do believe that some of those who are in arranged marriages do actually end up loving their spouses (or at least I hope so)!
Emma Campbell that made my heart smile
Agreed! All too often we only see depictions of how marriages end horribly, but sometimes people just lose romantic interest in one another, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still care for one another.
Despite public preconceptions, the British aristocracy have er somewhat broad minds when it comes to sex and marriage. I would guess that this is the broadmindedness in action.
Parents: You are not gay, you are just following the new trend
Me: TELL THAT TO PHILIPPE AND HORTENSE

Ikr,I'm indan too and it pisses me a lot. Ancient India was so gay but I don't get why modern parents think that's a "sin".
A sea of bisexuals
This video: Look at all these gays
As a bisexual, I don't agree. Most of these people probably married the opposite gender not because they were bisexual but because of duty and the way it was back then. So most of these people probably were gay. Although the second to last one is definitely bisexual.
I agree, it was only an innocent joke
Most of them were forced to marry the opposite gender and have children to perpetuate the royal lineage. They didn’t want to, that’s why they had gay side lovers.
Some of them are possibly straight transgender.

He's the real Prince Charming
You should't have to pretend to be someone you are not. This just makes you miserable, and makes the people around you miserable as well. So sad that his family disowned him. I hope they will have a change of heart.
I think the worst part about it is that they "accepted" him as long as no one knew. Turning your back on your child due to their sexuality is wrong for any reason, but to be ok with it in private, then disown him because they feel publicly embarrassed? That's a new low bar.

Its funny how aristocratic class was rather open minded and everyone did everything with anyone. But in public they all acted conservative and moral. If only they shared that openess with their people, we would live in heaven
The nobility was extremely hypocritical, so it's no surprise
Cause they still wanted the masses to be controlled by the church. And being open minded was not a part of what the church was teaching. Being gay was a shame for the peasants and if they knew what was going on in the upper class they would have been outraged
@@reetta8398 So, being open minded is to turn away from God, huh?

True, lack of intimate correspondence will do that though.
@@michaelmckinnon1591 Sometimes letters were destroyed by surviving families. And sometimes historians decided to be "discreet," uh, I mean lie.

But most biographies, even some recent ones, wrote about the guy as though the only thing he did was get married and write poems.
@@brachiator1 correspondence wasn't typically destroyed by surviving family members back then because once the person was dead, they figured it couldn't do any damage to the person's reputation

oh, hi mate... lolo
$20 bucks says Philip's second wife was also not straight, giving how happy she seemed to be to keep things platonic as soon as they had a kid (which in court was pretty well a minimum requirement of them) and how willing she was to marry him despite (because of?) his reputation for not being into his wives.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too
@@Werevampiwolf The marriage would have been canceled if there wasn't a child. Often even there was no male child. There was something at stake and she wasn't in love with her cousin anyway. No reason to assume she was homosexual, too ;)
Some people don't like sex, particularly some women. It doesn't mean they're lesbian. Sheesh.
@@Violetbunnyfish when did I say lesbian? I said "also not straight", that could mean a lot of things, including not being sexual.
@Anya Catherine Braginski That seems a bit farfetched (although possible). There was nothing at stake for the way she was living- She could have continued to live at the german court. It might have however cast a bad light on the political circumstances...
the indian guy did good and helped others and im glad he is helping those who need protection.

Everything is pretty much made easier by being born into wealth and privilege.
sidney greenglass I was to comment that
@@ross6753 If he was a normal boy he would be starving and probably working since his childhood haha
Gotta be careful with these blanket statements. "Born into wealth and privilege" does not mean you get to live your life as you please. Inevitably there are rules and customs and expectations to be followed... or else. And that "or else" would likely include the disappearance of your "wealth and privilege." The LAST thing I'd want to be born into would be royalty. Look at Edward VIII - his choice was to live in misery and loneliness as KING, or in married happiness and disgrace in banishment. Royals are CHAINED - they are not, in any way, FREE.
Nope... I certainly don't advocate that it's best to be poor either... as with many things, it's MODERATION that enables a balance between privilege and freedom.

Emøøx Gægarbage I did a paper in college about gays in Greek mythology and was fascinated to learn about how it was not just based on sex. That it also was about a mentoring relationship between younger and older men. Much more intellectual than sexual””, but certainly not frowned upon
Kathy Kilpatrick wh? I didnt know that! Thanks for the info though;; i remember that part, but i heard that orgys were common and gender didnt matter to them and relationships! Thats cool to know though
@@TheKappybook of course relationships weren't just about sex, but the teacher-student thing... You described pederasty. The main reason homosexuality was so much frowned upon in history, because of association to old men having sex with adolescent boys as a "rite of passage". It's creepy and still continues today in the form of hazing in some armies and is the basis of prison rape culture. It's not an equal relationship, to say the least.
Back in those days, to have such relationships was rather accepted, but it was obvious paedophilia.
Royal children were normally dressed up with female dresses and a certain age they can wear the male robes. Not because they are gay, they consider that gender-fluid for young children.
yes but phillippe was dressed as a girl much longer to make him "weak" so he wound't fight his brother for the throne. They even gave him a friend dressed as a girl too so he woudn't feel lonely... later, as an adult he did it by choice sometimes (for provocation first and then because he liked it).
They were dressed in dresses because those are harder to outgrow in terms of height than pants
Not just royals. Many boys in previous centuries wore dresses till they were four or five.
Exactly. Children were not thought to have a gender until some age.
Wait actually that’s...ok then

I think the narrator said that Charles' illegitimate daughter had an affair with her own mother's lover, not Mancini's lover

RUclips: *So here's some gay royals of the world*
Your account name is hilarious 😂
But i don't regret it tho- 😳
Its cus u watched all them jikook videos
The origins of “Yas Queen”
"celeb gossip is boring these days.."
also me after hearing philippe corrupted the prince: OH HMHMMHHHMHMH
when some says: “oh and where were all the gays before now? i’ve never seen this much gays” show em this video
I knooowww!! I’m like “Bruh, they’ve always been here! But due to beheading reasons, then a eugenics movement, then electric shock therapy, then gay conversation therapy, plus societal prejudice... they preferred to stay in the closet! 🙄”
Me: they were in hiding fearing for their lives, Karen.
I will never understand how people don't get that LBGT+ people have always existed.
Then again people think you're sensitive and a snowflake if you physically cannot digest milk, because "people back then weren't so sensitive". Yes they were Janet, but back then they just died and nobody knew why.
@@xiomara5147 plus all the forced heterosexual marriages, which has been causing problems even today in many backward countries.
And if you do, the hypocrites will say, "what are all gay people crying about? gays have been ruling the world for centuries" - there is no winning with bigots.
Thats not alot and some were bi sexual .
manvendra is so cool its amazing how he opened his palace to vunerable gay people
What about current King of Cambodia? He has never married, was a professional ballerino as a prince, and has been in a long term relationship with a man from his youth?
Who else watches these knowing fully well you ain't gonna remember anything?
Just me okay
I had tea with that last one, Prince Manvendra. He was visiting town(tulsa, OK) and I just happened to get into a talk about lgbt stuff with a shop owner at the local mall, and she invited me to join her and a small group of people to have a private get together with him, as she'd been in contact with him for years through their respective lgbt activism and he was literally stopping by that evening to visit HER, his friend. he was super chill. talked about his struggles since he came out, how he was disowned and all that and his activism and his plans for his home country. it was a really cool experience that I didn't appreciate properly at the time. it was only a few years ago, but I was dumb enough to only think "holy shit im having tea with a prince." I really wish I had paid more attention to him and what he had to say, rather than just being an extra presence eating the lovely food the shop owner had prepared. and no, I didn't record anything then either, we were asked not to because it was a very private meet.
Holyshiii YOU ARE SO LUCKY
🌸Brilliant as always. But I can’t stop thinking of the cruelty of the Duchess Manicini’s husband. Knocking out the front teeth of all of the servants. For fear of them attracting others 😨.🌸
I would've done the same thing if I were a King lol
MISOGYNY at its finest!
Not true. Just a legend.
Disturbing shit. Either hypermisogyny or some vile personality disorder like malignant narcissism fueled by extreme misogyny, privilege and impunity.
Probably trying to make them unattractive to his wife!
"You are welcome to gobble the peas, I dont want them"
Ouch
"you can gobble the peas,i dont like them" ICONIC
Why haven’t anyone made a Netflix series about this!
Yaaa
You can see Philippe duke of Orleans’s relationships on show Versailles on Netflix
Ugh I love Versailles on Netflix
That would be so cool honestly
His psychiatrist informed his parents? Wtf happened to sessions being confidential?
Maybe he was asked first or there were different ways of dealing with confidentiality in that place at that time.
no one:
gays royal in ancient time: period, love!
“Full-stop my dearest love!”
When she said "you're welcome to gobble the peas, I don't like them" I came straight to the comments
Late 17th century court live sounds like a soap opera.
15:28 "...on Louis's deathbed she married her longtime love Liliana... Louisa died 11 hours after the wedding..."
It's hard to imagine how much Louisa's children were mad at both of them, after they figured out that they lost a huge part of the estate worth an estimated 47 million euro.
Too bad it's a done deal. The fact that they're fighting it is kind of sad, expected, but sad. Respect her wishes.
It’s not like Liliana was some Johnny come lately gold digger- they’d been together for 30 years! The only reason they hadn’t married 30 years earlier is due to the law not allowing it yet.
So think of Liliana as her wife of 30 years. Does that make the kids fighting the will a bit of a different story now?
Thanks for making these types of videos!! It’s so cool to learn about this history that people have tried to hide or slander for so long.
That’s last guy is helping others in his predicament that’s beautiful 💕
A tiered collection of cheeses instead of a wedding cake!? Sounds like my kind of shindig!! Fabulous!
call me a conservative bigot but you dont just mess with tradition when it comes to cake
@@Crosshill Why would you be pressed about people not having a wedding cake? It's seriously the most petty thing to treat like an "unshakable" tradition -- and a lot of things are treated as such.
@@fruitygarlic3601 i wrote that comment just for kicks
For real!
Honestly, it's the most British thing I've ever heard in my life 😂
Fascinating the thing Isabella was afraid of her whole life was what killed her. Almost like she always knew.
I love that you talked about the same amount of men and women, most videos like these only talk about homosexuality in men, as if gay women were non existent in history
All of this plays out like a Wattpad story
