Just thinking on all of this...
As much as I'd LOVE for it to be Burrich's Just (and more than possible, seeing as TM was fifteen years after the Farseer trilogy?), Robin does have a habit of duplicating names over one or two books and this may just be another case? Examples of this would be:
1. Hest was the name of a member of the Six Duchies guard in TM and then the name for Hest, the bad guy, in the RWC
2. Malta was used for Malta the Elderling and also Fool’s horse
3. Chivalry was used for both Burrich’s lord (Prince/King-in-Waiting Chivalry) and also his eldest son
4. The name Bolt was given to Regal’s henchman and also to Bolt, Vivacia’s dragon
Ah, okay, that’s all I can think of
but there does seem to be some deliberate name duplicating/linking-between-the-books going on? Not taking into account all the other little name and word links throughout eg using the word 'nettled' to describe a feeling and then we have 'Nettle' etc?
