ROBERT: As bride for his son, Longshanks had chosen the daughter of
his rival, the King of France.It was widely whispered that for the
princess to conceive, Longshanks would have to do the honors himself.
What does conceive anything do with Longshanks’ honor?
Does it mean Longshanks have sex with princess to make his son to be father?

Yes, it does. Do the hono[u]rs is a set phrase. https://www.lexico.com/definition/do_the_honours . In this context, it means carry out the necessary actions. It has nothing to do with his personal honour.
