I think it might have been inspired by my streaming of Showtime's
The Tudors on Netflix. It's pretty heavy on the sex and intrigue. It's actually a bit too heavy on the sex for my tastes but I can't resist Renaissance-era shows.
As far as the "stuff" you can just figure it out for yourself.
I have to say that despite the downturn at the end, the dream was overall very enjoyable.
