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>...
