<br>willow<br><br>Bowing to the Empty Thrones<br>"When did we start bowing to the royal presence in the form of the<br>empty thrones? Why?"<br><br>"My earliest recollection of saluting the empty thrones was during<br>one of Henrik's early reigns (the third or fourth) when he preferred
<br>to be riding a horse to sitting on the throne. When the fighters<br>complained that it was hard to locate him to salute at the beginning<br>of each fight, he placed the crown on the throne and told them to<br>salute that ... he was going riding. The populace semi-mockingly got
<br>into the spirit of the ruse - bowing/curtseying if they happened to<br>pass in front of "The Royal Presence". The fiction was so useful that<br>it quickly became custom then formally part of the pre-combat litany
<br>shortly thereafter." – Kevin Peregrynne<br><br>"Of course, there is also a Horde song called "The Empty Throne" as<br>I'm sure you are aware. But your original question was "bowing to the<br>royal presence" (ie the throne, when passing in front of the royal
<br>pavilion, whether or not saluting prior to a fight) as opposed to<br>saluting per se. I think that started to happen almost as soon as we<br>had Kings on the thrones; I'm pretty sure it was institutionalized by<br>
about AS III." – Siegfried von Hoflichskeit<br><br><br><br>_____________________________________________________________<br>Click here to increase your salary by earning an online degree.<br><a href="http://track.juno.com/s/lc?u=http://tagline.untd.us/fc/Ioyw6iifnDVCIJAruqVtSclZXtPAfEvRjLDpad69UsgBKTPkAyoNQs/">
