When Longshanks kills his son's lover

One of my favorite scenes.

Brutal.

And it feels like an authentic occurence.

Was it ever implied that he was his lover?

Short of having the actor hold up a placard saying 'Guess whose gay lover I am!!!!' it's hard to think of any way it could have been more heavily implied.

It's heavily implied from the very beginning of the movie (i.e., the wedding scene between King Edward's son and the French princess).

i saw that scene in the movie when i was a child and it is the only thing i remembered of the movie for years.
i never remembered anything else (besides the scene where the guys lift up their skirts and showed the army their butts)

it was shocking but funny

I'm surprised Longshanks got the jump on him because Philip is skilled in the arts of war and military tactics.

This scene is very homophobic, and the number one piece of evidence Gibson's bigotry infected his art from the start.

Philip was skilled in the arts of war and military tactics. He was a manly man and against the stereotype. No bigotry at all in that scene.

Imagine the rage on Twitter if Braveheart were a 2020 film!

The son's lover had his ups and downs.

A pity it never happened in real life, though the Prince (later a king) was executed in a horrendous manner years later.

I heard he lost at poker. What an ass!
