Poet Lord Byron (1788-1824), shagged anything that stayed still long enough (including his half-sister, Augusta, and over 200 male lovers during a holiday around Greece.) Mr. Burns is reluctant to be in the relay, especially since he has work, but when Royston and his dad jog past and reveal that they're in the relay, he's determined to win against them.

Richard, [then] duke of Aquitaine, the son of the king of England, remained with Philip, the King of France, who so honored him for so long that they ate every day at the same table and from the same dish, and at night their beds did not separate them. And the king of France loved him as his own soul; and they loved each other so much that the king of England was absolutely astonished and the passionate love between them and marveled at it.” While the bed sharing and eating together wasn’t necessarily a positive indicator of the pair’s sexual preferences, the two for a time maintained a close alliance and apparent friendship. In fact, Richard was engaged to Alice, Philip’s sister for a while. However, he ended up renouncing her and spreading a rumour that she was having an affair and had given birth to an illegitimate child. Richard also married his wife, Berengaria of Navarre, while he was still betrothed to Philip’s sister. Not exactly things a person should do if they were trying to keep on the woman’s brother’s good side.Townend, Peter, ed. (1970). Burke's Peerage & Baronetage (105thed.).

He was surpassed by his great-great-grandson Charles III on 20 April 2011. [128] The title Prince of Wales is not automatically held by the heir apparent; it is bestowed by the reigning monarch at a time of his or her choosing. [129] Edward was the longest-serving holder of that title until surpassed by Charles on 9 September 2017. [130] Edward was Prince of Wales between 8 December 1841 and 22 January 1901 (59 years, 45 days); Charles held the title between 26 July 1958 and 8 September 2022 (64years, 44days).

In October, he matriculated as an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford. [11] Now released from the educational strictures imposed by his parents, he enjoyed studying for the first time and performed satisfactorily in examinations. [12] In 1861, he transferred to Trinity College, Cambridge, [13] where he was tutored in history by Charles Kingsley, Regius Professor of Modern History. [14] Kingsley's efforts brought forth the best academic performances of Edward's life, and Edward actually looked forward to his lectures.
