"The other side"? Hmmm. I'm not sure if I'm on the other side
or not. However, over the years I've come to decide that a
persona is more than a complicated, (and usually rather
unlikely) persona story.

However, you can read a number of them in this file in the
PERSONA section of the Florilegium and make your own decision.

I think it is less important to know all about the politics
of the Courts of Europe and who the King is sleeping with
than what your liege lord may expect from you and what you
had for dinner yesterday, do you walk most places or do you
have access to a horse, when did you get your last set of
clothes and when can you expect to get another? etc.
