- Greetings, good gentles, and
- may much joy be yours in the New Year!
-
- Here's an interesting question or three...
-
- Who are the oldest and youngest people ever to sit on thrones
- as King and Queen in the Known World? As Prince and Princess
- of a Principality? As Baron and Baroness of a barony?
-
- I'd hazard that the youngest princess was the daughter of Bjo
- and John Trimble (he's always been John ap Griffin and she's
- now Flavia something-or-other, I think...). Their daughter
- was a pre-teen, if memory serves. Likewise, the oldest
- princess is probably Janeldis, the dowager princess of
- An Tir (pray pardon any spelling errors and please post
- corrections).
-
- Are there any older or younger? What about fighters?
- Duke Hanno of the East and Caid was 18-19 when he won
- Eastern Crown, I think.
-
- It should be an interesting bit of interkingdom anthropology.
-
- Joy, health, love, and peace be yours -- Bertram
