Editing Louis I of Spain (section)

== Sexuality ==
Apart from these attributes, many have argued that Louis also inherited his father's sexual appeal. He was reputedly [[bisexual]], being initiated into such a practice by a servant, originally from [[Palace of Versailles|Versailles]].<ref name=vidal65 >{{harvnb|Vidal Sales|1994|p=65}}</ref> Historians believe that Lacotte, who was Louis' servant and who had a reputation of being a [[pedophile]], was sent into the Spanish royal court to seduce the prince, whose [[impotence]] was known.<ref name=vidal61 >{{harvnb|Vidal Sales|1994|p=61}}</ref> W. Clarke writes: "the Spanish heir was as into boys as girls during the parties that he had, playing erotic games with both sexes"; a line about Louis' sexual life was sung across streets of Madrid: "Fiery as his mother, lascivious as his father, flaming as his stepmother and [[onanist]] as a pedophile".<ref>{{harvnb|Vidal Sales|1994|p=62}}</ref>
