I agree. Historically speaking, I believe the major difference between a King and other lords was of quantity, not quality. I imagine Tincow was worried about giving the FL too much power, but I'm still curious as to why the rules expressly forbid nobles from swearing fealty to the King. Since the King is at the top of the chain, every lord who has not sworn the oath of fealty to another lord serves the King by default, otherwise he wouldn't be in the faction.

This reminds me, what are the rules for deciding the rules?
