Historical Cuckolding

In the accepted sense this is true, however at the time Horatio and Emmas liaimister would not have been construed as cuckoldry. Divorce being out of the question, such matters were directed with aristocratic decorum. Ambassador Hamilton was not relaxing with her ladyship at the time. In Italy especially they had the civilized institution of accredited cavalier, where the younger wife with an impotent husband would have an accredited lover. If she ran fast with other unaccredited lovers she would face the wrath of society and her husband. Cuckoldry proper was more an aspect of merchantile or middle class fucking around. As for the peasants and workers, well no one gave a fig about them except for the Church who milked them dry of tithes and condemned them to hell - turning a blind eye to cardinals and noblemen who flouted sexual convention.

Thank you "Thug" for providing a bit of historical context.

Do you know of any other interesting cuckold relationships?

Grand Duke of Hesse and his English wife who later became a GD of Russia.
The Prince Regent's (King George IV of England) German wife.
Major Parker-Bowles and his slutty wife Camilla - of recent date.
Boudecca (Queen of the British Iceni) who cucked her husband with every well hung Celtic warrior for 100 miles around. Got her come uppance when she sacked and burnt Londinium.
And as for all that macho Italian posturing, the Roman empresses cucked their imperial husbands no end.
