------------------ ------------------ Paul. ------------------ Paul. ------------------ On the subject of when a minor became a king, I really don't see that age would be a deciding factor. Paul. ------------------ Paul. What does LP do? Are there any interesting nuggets that would add authenticity to my novel? Cheers! ------------------ Interesting nuggets? Perhaps you could look at Ken Livingstone or Jeffrey Archer for inspiration Deborah. Just kidding, maybe. Paul. One more question...? How would he be addressed? My Lord, or something else? ------------------ Paul.deborahknowles Can't remember if I posted this question before but I need to know as much on the above as poss. If anyone could point me in the right direction...? Thanks.
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"deborahknowles Yes, I did and you lovely people replied. Anything further I should know?
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul Hi Deborah, I'm a little confused by your question.
Are you referring to Oliver Cromwell and his self assumed role as Lord Protector or are you looking for a general definition of such?deborahknowles No, a general definition for a novel I'm writing. It's set in about 1327 or just after.
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul Hi Deborah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Protector
throws a little light on the subject.
Although not always reliable I have no reason to disagree with the conclusion made.
However, the article states a clear difference between the position of a feudal royal regent and the Cromwellian republican Commonwealth.
I'm a great admirer of Cromwell and all that he achieved.
A much misunderstood man of honour.deborahknowles Thanks, Paul. Would they have had exactly the same duties as the monarch, or were there any notable differences? Was it personal choice when the minor became king or was there a particular age that was favoured?
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul Hi Deborah, I might need some help on this one.
I would assume that the duties of the Lord Protector and the Monarch would be the same.
The only difference as I see it is that Cromwell- for instance- was elected whereas Charles I was not.
His position was hereditary.
One only has the consider Richard II when the real power behind the throne was John of Gaunt and a few others.
Even today the monarchy and government rely
on a number of advisers to guide them in their affairs of office.deborahknowles But in 1300? Henry VIII seemed to me pretty much an absolute monarch (although I know he had advisors - most he had 'chopped' when they disagreed with him!)
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul Hi Deborah, I'm still a little unclear as to what your question is.
Maybe its my age?deborahknowles I'll use small words!
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul Ah, thats better, I've got my reading glasses on now.
The Lord Protector would have been carrying out the affairs of State just like the crown would have but maybe in a more autocratic manner.deborahknowles I could!
"She was full more blissful on to see Than is the newe perejonette tree"Paul I'm guessing here Deborah but I'd plump for " My Lord".
Other than that I have no idea.deborahknowles That'll do for me! Thanks for all your help, Paul. It is appreciated!
