I was in Westminster Abbey a few weeks ago. It's arranged, in so far as it's planned at all, to lead you to the tomb of Henry Tudor, who (in sharp distinction to the other kings) is locked away in what resembles a giant iron cage -- presumably owing to his own paranoia. Anyway, I like the idea of saying that _this_ dynasty which won the throne through vast acts of violence is legitimate, and any subsequent wresting of the throne through the sword is illegitimate. Wasn't legendarily Briton originally settled by refugees from Troy? I wonder if we can determine which of us is the closest male patrilineal descendant of Brutus. Make them king. Edit: got my ancestors and descendants confused :).
