@onceuponatimein_history: Replying to @h1story_talk, they were tomb mates, definitely not gay, ... The opening of Henry V's (and, as it turned out, Courtenay's) tomb in 1953. Suggestive of a romantic relationship or BFFL? #henryv #henryofmonmouth #westminsterabbey #openingtombs #History #englishhistory
That's an extreamly unusual yet prestigious request to be made, even more so for someone to carry it out! Surely its only the king who could orchestrate such a thing and appears to be obvious why

How do you know the weren't lovers. As Henry seems to have left no official record of requesting Sir Roger's body to be moved means that he was very good at hiding things.

It could of been off the record by the king or by Richard by more likely the kind asked for it... or they didn't like the place Richard was buried and thought the tomb of a king was better?

not surprising if a man like henry who spent his entire life at war and around men having a go inside another dude.

I don’t believe people would have had gay relations back then when they were all so religious and didn’t bathe and wasn’t it punishable by death?

Being gay is not new, it’s been practiced since the beginning of time. It just didn’t align with the RCC’s teaching so it went underground.
