Edward II
‘I see your love to Gaveston will be the ruin of the realm and you.’
The King is dead, long live the King. And his boyfriend.
When Edward II insists on ruling with the man he loves by his side, the Palace refuses. The establishment conspires to restore the natural order, plunging the country into a civil war and threatening the very existence of the monarchy.
Better a dead king than a gay king.
