In any case, after I solve all of Leicester's problems, I'm going to take some time to myself and go exploring. Maybe I'll consider marriage after I'm done with that.
The king died when they thought there was no heir, yeah? Left a power vaccum the church tried to shove their way into, only Louis was tryin' to do the same.
Course, none of them manager it because the King had a failsafe in place for if he died. It triggered on his funeral and set up the tournament to choose the next ruler -- one based on the popularity of the people, not just on bloodlines or who had their foot in the door already.
