also how come no one explained what Tripoli is... about Australian soldiers in WW1? American Marines in Jefferson's time? or something else?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

The play Edward II, by Christopher Marlowe (himself alleged to be gay by some of his contemporaries) depicts a homosexual relationship between Gaveston and Edward II. A similar relationship existed between James VI and I and his favourite the Duke of Buckingham.
Derek Jarman made a film about Edward II:
On an entirely irrelevant note, I was a pupil at a school founded by Isabella, Edward's widow, in penance for her part in his downfall and murder...
I think you may be confusing Tripoli with 'Gallipoli', by the way. I suspect the Tripoli referred to is the not very notable military action carried out by the Americans against Barbary pirates. More of a police action than a Trafalgar or Actium or Kadesh.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
