Homosexuality in medieval Europe

In medieval Europe, attitudes toward homosexuality varied from region to region, determined by religious culture. The Catholic Church, which dominated the religious landscape, considered any non-procreative sex to be sodomy, which they viewed as a mortal sin and "unnatural." However, the actual sexual behaviors of ordinary people outside of recorded marriages is harder to track archivally, since the historical record includes few details about their lives.
