Oh, this brings up a GOOD story.  During his, (I think) third reign as
Mid-Realm King, a gentleman I know attended a feast.  The clean up
crew was a little sparse (the story goes it was a winter event, and 
a LOT of people were encouraged to scoot, before they got snowed in).
So, here was His Majesty, scrubbing pots.  He had stripped off his
new court tunic, so as not to ruin it, but couldn't find anywhere safe
to put the crown, so he left it on.  There he stood.  Pants, boots,
crown, up to his elbows in suds.  A dewy-eyed new member did a double
and triple take, and then said "Why, Your Majesty, I'm surprised your
court would allow you to do such work."  He paused, and replied, 
"Most of the members of my court were either fighting in, or being 
fought for in, the tournament in which I won this crown.  If I want
to scub pots, how are they going to stop me?"
