Actually it is true. Feel free to research it yourself and settle it in your mind.
The wealthy aristocrats in "those days" were quite the jackrabbits.
Last year I went to Germany and did some sightseeing. One of the places we checked out was a post-rennassiance era palace called Schloss Solitud...One of the Dukes that lived and ruled from there had had over 40 illegitimate children during his youth...
I guess the nobility back then had nuthin' better to do but hump other nobility.
