principalities...border

[Mark Harris]

Galen of Bristol asks:

And just to be mischevious, here's another can of worms:  fealty.  Will 
knights and Barons swear fealty to the Crown, or to their Coronet, and 
through the Coronet, to the Crown?  One leaves the Crown with vastly 
diminished influence, the other leaves the Coronet largely powerless before 
peers and nobles who have no oath binding them to the Prince.

Huh? Perhaps I'm missing something but how do the other kingdoms handle
this? What exactly are their lines of fealty? This doesn't sound different
from the situation that other kingdoms have faced. Or is fealty in
Ansteorra different from that in other kingdoms?

Do the kingdoms with principalities handle this situation differantly from
each other? If they all handle the situation the same, why shouldn't we?

Who is in fealty to none, but respects many.
