[MR] Expectations of a Queen

[Logan]

avery, 

you have touched on the heart of the matter for me.  my first two reigns
were, indeed, with my lady at that time, hrh duchess arielle.   my second
two reigns i served with duchess isabel who was not my lady but was married
to a former squire of mine.  so, ive seen it from both sides and in both
situations i was lucky to serve with women of strong character and resolve
that truly cared only for what was best for atlantia.

there are a few ladies in atlantia that i think of when i think of what i
wish to see in a queen.  they fit my model.  my model is not necessarily in
tune with the majority of the kingdom.  hence the conversation i was in
recently that prompted me to ask the question.  while i certainly think my
model is the right one (ask me who i think the best mother in the world is)
i might be out of touch with what the kingdom thinks.  during our discussion
this point was brought up and i said, "well, why not just ask people".  thus
far the responses ive gotten fall pretty much in line with what i too wish
to see in a queen.

so im curious avery, if you could build a queen what would she be like?

regards
logan

Greetings unto Atlantia and unto Duke Logan,   I am grateful to Duke Logan
for opening this discussion.  It shows a real concern for the kingdom.
Usually a Lord fighting for the crown does so with the intention of sharing
the throne with his lady wife or significant other.  That has worked well
enough as I must say that Atlantia has been blessed with fine Queens that we
can admire.  I can't actually think of a Queen who seemed to me to not be
good enough.  However, occasionally a lord wishes to fight in the crown
tournament, but has no obvious lady with whom to riegn.  In this
circumstance, I would love to see him choose a lady whose experience and
service to the kingdom would give her the "right" to be a Queen.  There are
many ladies in Atlantia known throughout the kingdom for their vast service
who have little chance to ever be Queen because they are not attached to a
lord who could win in the crown list.  It would be fitting to qccasionally
see such a lady crowned.  I li
 ke her to dress the part well, too.  YIS,  Avery
