King James & His George: Part Two (feat. Guy Branum)
"And it is well-known that the King of England f*cks the Duke of Buckingham." – Theophile de Viau (1628)If you've been watching Mary & George on STARZ, then you must be desperate to know how much of it is true. And the answer, my curious queers, is: a lot!George Villiers, the scheming twink who dominated King James I's court, was hot and 100% DTF. He won titles, land, and money for himself by sacrificing these gay virtues at the altar of the king's pleasure.But who was George the man? Was his royal boyf really in love with him (or indeed George with James)? And were George's narcissistic antics responsible for driving the country into the ground, laying the path for King Charles I's beheading in 1649?Join me and my fabulous, hilarious, and shockingly erudite guest, Guy Branum, to steep yourself in the deeply queer historical tea.For more from Historical Homos, you can join our cult at: www.historicalhomos.comAnd follow us on Instagram and TikTok.
