Edward I exiled Pierce because his son Edward of Kenavan had asked him for permission to grant his country of point you to his friend.

It's also likely that Edward I was concerned about the nature of the relationship between his son and Pierce,

and that Pierce had far too much influence over the young Prince of Wales,

and he was entirely right to be concerned as Edward demonstrated over the next few years.

Oh yeah, Edward is just getting started.

Edward is just getting started, but I can already believe that the family would need to get rid of this.

This is like a messy thing that the family has to start addressing,

and the whispers are happening, and the royal courts of various countries.

Great stuff.

It is. It's so, yeah, it's so juicy. I love it.

It is. This is like tabloids. This is great. I mean, just the focus on this sexuality and just, yes.

On the elder Edward's death, only a few months later, the new King Edward immediately recalled his friend.

According to Warner, it was almost certainly the first act he took as King,

and made him Earl of Cornwall, which to me comes across as deeply remanse.

But if you were a medieval English nobleman, you were probably a little bit resentful that the King hadn't been in power for five minutes,

and was already dishing out goodies to his boyfriend.

Oh, spare me the pearl clutching.

Like the Kings didn't do this with the women that they were having sex with. Come on.

I know. Just let him fuck.

Exactly. He, of course, he's good. Listen, obviously the person you have sex with,

you're probably going to do corrupt stuff for. That's just how life is.

Now, from what little I know of English history, it's the general rule that being the King's favorite is very much a double edged sword.
