Yeah, but Master A, you're a *Roman*, right? What would you know from 
kings? <g> (oh, wait, don't you live in the people's republic of the 
east? ;o)
I'll admit, I wasn't thinking of the discussion below in terms of 
capital "R" royalist, but rather small "r." ;o)  I (Sue) might really 
find the 16th and 17th centuries fascinating but I (Maire) wouldn't know 
and probably wouldn't care--she has enough hassles putting up with the 
Anglo-Irish in 14th c. Dublin, to worry overly much about what the 
English are doing to each other at home (which is where they belong, no?)
