William IX, his poetry, and his ancestors were arguably the birth of what we know now as female-sex-favoritism. This occurred in the 12th century, which was in the high middle ages (medieval), after the Dark Ages (early medieval period) and before the Renaissance. Christian humanism was starting to be developed during this time. William was excommunicated twice by the Church. | |||
