John Rykener : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Rykener
John Rykener, known also as Johannes Richer and Eleanor, was a 14th-century transvestite prostitute working mainly in London (near Cheapside), but also active in Oxford. He was arrested in 1395 for cross-dressing and interrogated. The records have survived, the only surviving legal records from that age which mentions same-sex intercourse. During his interrogation, Rykener claimed to have had many clients including priests, monks and nuns; he said that he preferred priests because they paid better than others. He revealed that one Franciscan friar had given him a gold ring, and that a Carmelite friar and six foreigners, "of whom one gave Rykener twelve pence, one twenty pence, and one two shillings."〔http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/1395rykener.html〕 A fictionalized version of John/Eleanor Rykener appears as a prominent character within Bruce Holsinger's recent historical novel, ''A Burnable Book'', set in London in 1385 during the time of Richard II.〔Bruce Holsinger: ''A Burnable Book'': New York: Viking: 2004〕 ==See also==
