Subject: Re: rolls of the kings of the east

I would like to add that I asked Fridrikr (?) about the omission on
Saturday night.  He read the list exactly as it was given to him by
Lucan and Jana.  When he asked about the editing before court, he was
informed it was the will of the King and Queen.  He expressed dismay
to them, and was told that was the list that would be read, period.

While I feel it is the royalty's right to not have his name spoken in
their court, I think it would have smoothed things a little if perhaps
they had started their reign with something like a proclamation
stating that the offending person's name would not be spoken in their
presence.  That way it wouldn't have seemed liked they were trying to
erase history.
