Chrischa I like your idea that Wintrow might bring some of his 'spirituality' (or at least a more humane outlook) to the pirate isles! But I 'wanted' him to learn more himself. (not that I'm not fine with how it DID turn out - as you say it's a plus that characters change). I would be very interested if any future books did a bit more on the priesthood that Wintrow left (with other characters) so we could see a bit more about it.
On Fitz's name, some interesting points Farseer. I think above all he did bend over backwards to do what (he thought was) 'the right thing' at all times, so in one sense of the world he fit the name (Fitz)Chivalry very well.
Personally I thought Chivalry himself was pretty selfish. The realm needed him and he went off with his lady love to have a nice quiet life. Ooooh is this some parallel to Fitz in his cabin - never thought about that before.
I was going to say Fitz had a pretty good excuse to do his own thing after all he had already given for the kingdom, but then to be honest we really don't know a huge amount about Chivalry himself so I shouldn't be too harsh on him!
