Actually, I understood that the term "Royalist" applies to a 
reactionary position in support of an arguably threatened Crown 
during the English Civil War. The first European king to genuinely 
resemble the definition most often used by SCAdians (all that "divine 
right" stuff) is probably Louis XIV. I suppose if everyone really 
does want to play this game the out-of-period way, that's okay, I 
guess, but... <shrug>...
