I had the most interesting conversation with a Count from the West where
they have two principalities plus the kingdom.  He said they have a coronet
or crown tournament every month!  Apparently reigns are only 4 months long.
So it's Coronet, Coronet, Crown, Coronet, Coronet, Crown... Wow!  He said
that the frequency of the tournaments takes much of the pressure off the
combatants.  He also talked about the *nine* times the kingdom which is
Alaska has flown him up to train fighters!  Apparently a common practice.
Just goes to show you how different everyone's Game can be.
