I found some of the information on this page was duplicated on a Dukes website. I assume that the website creator copied the information from Wikipedia without attribution, or is it the other way around?

Also, a picture of the 2nd Duke is needed. Pictures are available, but not for use on Wikipedia.Why not? What is there to hide about the truth? Why does the British government delete the TRUTH from Wikipedia - because, they have too much to hide and they are the biggest fraudsters and liars in the history of mankind - the British governments and its gchq.

"As a nineteen year old, he briefly attended a French boarding school run by the Count de Mauny, who was rumoured to have made sexual advances towards some of its pupils.[6] In later life the Duke was notable for being virulently opposed to such practices.[7]"

I don't understand what practices he was supposed to be virulently opposed to in later life? Sexual advances? Sexual advances towards pupils? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.39.209 (talk) 14:48, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first reference, which is online, makes it clear that the rumored sexual advances were by a male toward his exclusively male pupils. "Political ideology" describes the duke's attempt to ruin another politician by reporting his homosexuality, which led to the king's famous comment. Do the opposed practices and the purported cause of them need to be spelled out more in the article text? Dhtwiki (talk) 09:48, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems clear enough to me. Yorkist (talk) 23:12, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
