Traditionally it was just Sodomy on a general level, or Bestiality. It's important to note that Anal Sex is/was frowned upon by the Religious institutions of this and that time with either sexes. Really it was a "heathens are backwards". for more information feel free to check out:

as well as

tl;dr the term "bugger" like most things in the English language has changed with time.
