Just a thought.... A small detail. I think the use of 'majesty' to address a monarch was introduced with Henry VIII, previously they had been addressed as 'grace'. In other words, the mediaeval king, as 'primus inter pares' was a recipient of God's beneficence rather than its source. I think that's right, but check it out anyway.
Thanks, Steve! I thought that was a GRRM convention and not a historical one. (I remember seeing in a contemporary drama that Brits also sometimes refer to a judge/magistrate as "Grace"?). But thank you for giving me an idea to chase and dig into!
That's amazing, Zach. I like how you came up with it all. I look forward to seeing how it all works out for you. I can't wait to watch the next episode of The Serial Killers.
Wow that's a lot of world building. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
Pretty cool Zach. Ready to read it!
Hi Zach.
This sounds great ... a major undertaking!
