The man Henry called a zealot was, I believe, the animal lover st francis of assisi who wrote the Canticle of the Sun. It was one of the first works of literature, if not the first, written in the Italian language.
@TheNuharoo I don't think it's so much portraying them negatively as showing the general climate of the time period in the point of view of less Christian, more open-minded characters living back then and how they would see Christians.
@TheNuharoo they portrayed them acurately by all accounts, the church was an extremely powerful and corrupt body and rather than using this power to educate, they used it to prejudice everyone against weaker minority groups.
"I slept with one man for duty's sake and you sleep with Julia every night for duty's sake and who does not forgive"
Veronica forgets that Marco is married, he has to have legitimate sons and heirs. Veronica sleeps with men to make a living and is just as manipulative as the rest of the courtesans. That moment with the King of France showed Marco just who Veronica is, no longer just childhood friend and the one he loved.
@TheNuharoo He had the chance to make her his and only his but he didn't. She gave up a profession -one of the few open to women- that she was very successful at for love of him. Yes, she slept with the King of France. She obviously didn't want to but she did it because he wanted her and Venice, the whole country needed the ships in order to win the war. He could have married her and had legitmate sons and heirs with her.
I read that Henry III was possibly gay or bi so I think it's implying that she gave him anal/anal stimulation somehow. Either that or she had some guy come in and do it...
They sure made him into something he was not along with the whole history of this period in Venice. Shame on those responsible for their bias.

@chase82 It's a pity that they portrayed these Christians so negatively.
