The model for Lord Marchmain edit

The lead section says "Lord Beauchamp is generally supposed to have been the model for Lord Marchmain in Evelyn Waugh's novel, Brideshead Revisited." But almost none of the facts about Lord Beauchamp in this article apply to Lord Marchmain. There's obviously some connection between the Lygon family and the fictional Flyte faimily, but as stated this is surely not correct and needs qualification. --rossb (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Homosexual" edit

The guy had seven kids, which seems to prove that he had regular relations with his wife over many years, doesn't that make him "bisexual" rather than "homosexual?" - R.M. Schultz (talk) 12:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Homosexual men are completely capable of fathering children. Doesn't mean he had to be attracted to his wife to do what society imposed — Marry and have children. Bisexuality would imply Lygon was attracted romantically and sexually to both men and women. And that's not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.43.179.143 (talk) 02:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
