What's happening in your world?

[fool-ish]

I can understand other peoples being interested and fascinated by the concept of a monarchy if they don't have one of their own. Ironically perhaps, I do have an interest in our history and I will say that our previous 'royals' were far more interesting than the current ones...no scandal to speak of, apart from one possible conspiracy, but I'll say no more on that lest I be arrested for treason!

I think much of our and European history has been used as a reference in many a work of fiction. ASoIaF is very much based on the War of the Roses (I'm a Lancastrian!) and I suspect many a fantasy book has been based on our 'kingdom' too!
