[E L Wimett]

Yeah, but I seem to recall Casey (Orlando Cavalcanti) was running that one
and he has always been a bit odd.

Lord Owain Penbras writes:

<I was taught that you bow to the crown, not to the person wearing the
crown. 
And I was taught (by the First Knight of Meridies) that we are honoring the
ideals of chivalry and honor that are embodied in the
symbolic crown, and not the individual who happens to be wearing that crown
in this particular half-year. >
 
In support of that sentiment, when the late Gyrth Oldcastle was knighted
while reigning as King of the East, the assembled kings who conferred the
title upone him caused him to remove and swear fealty to his Crown.
 
Your servant aye
Donal
