original passage: Eleanor's marriage to Henry was reputed to be tumultuous and argumentative, although sufficiently cooperative to produce at least eight pregnancies. Henry was by no means faithful to his wife and had a reputation for philandering. Henry fathered other, illegitimate children throughout the marriage. Eleanor appears to have taken an ambivalent attitude towards these affairs. Geoffrey of York, for example, was an illegitimate son of Henry, but acknowledged by Henry as his child and raised at Westminster in the care of the queen.
original sentence: Henry fathered other, illegitimate children throughout the marriage.
sentence2: Is it reasonable to conclude that reports about the king fathering children might have just been ugly rumors from the time, perhaps spread by people who wanted to exaggerate the king's impropriety while simultaneously trying to break up the royal marriage?
sentence1: Eleanor's marriage to Henry was reputed to be tumultuous and argumentative, although sufficiently cooperative to produce at least eight pregnancies. Henry was by no means faithful to his wife and had a reputation for philandering. Henry fathered other children with Eleanor throughout the marriage, and his affairs were largely inconsequential. Eleanor appears to have taken a forgiving attitude towards these affairs, and she remained devoted to her growing family. Geoffrey of York, for example, was a recent child of Henry and Eleanor, and raised by both parents as a royal heir at Westminster.
