lol, this is brilliant! big thumbs up
I notice, however, you did not include the Witnesses? Perhaps they are the Aristocrats - the highest of the nobility, of course. They were the ones who drove policy, often behind the scenes. They weren't all necessarily rich, but they did wield power and guide the king.
:)
Maybe they are the small kings - often without real power, but by birth and marriage connected to each other and such deciding the fate of the world!
lol, I think they are more the Dukes & Duchesses of the Court. ;)
Well, you certainly know more about that topic then I, Mylady.
haha, well only the English court maybe. The German court, I suspect, was far more complicated. All those principalities and such. :D
