I love the movie, Lady Jane.' Sigh.I figured that Sir William's sutialexy was a modern addition to his character. For our purposes, I don't think it matters, in fact, it kind of parallels Eric Bloodaxe. Is he a hero or a villain? Different people in different areas have different opinions. Are they both right? Did the culture who saw him as a villain make him more of a villain than he really was? With the case of Sir William, the fictional layer to his character is being added by The Tudors. In a millenia will the historical figure be thought to have been gay? Does it matter? To historians, but not to artists.
