Artemisia also used Tanist and Tanista for its heirs apparent.  I always
thought it sounded out of place.  While "Leon" sounds consistent with the
French practice of refering to its heir apparent as "Dauphin," I'm not
quite certain where that title originates.

Do we really need heirs apparent?  Do we really need the hassle of an
investiture?  What's wrong with investing the new Prince and Princess the
evening of Coronet List?
