Is that where the phrase "It is good to be King" comes in??

Let's also not forget that relations between men and women were almost 
if not equally damning in the eyes of the Church at the time as well. I 
don't recall the exact date, but I believe as late as the mid-11th century 
marriage wasn't even a sacrament in the church because it allowed sexual 
relations. It was thought up until that time, that was best left to secular 
custom.
Richard's sins, with a man or a woman, may have been equally chastised 
in the period by the lay community.
I thinks it's a fair assessment to say, Richard liked to party, and 
clearly society would look the other way for the most part when you ruled 
half of Western Europe
