Viking is correct, it is a problem that the successor is born into his position, however he is concerned only because he has not seen the solution.

It is for this reason that we must ensure the right man for the job is born by a series of culls and similarly agricultural eliminations which bring the gene pool to a more manageable puddle.

I believe Louis is doing a fine job of welcoming the New Dark Age by encouraging the preference of a popular, mature man and his bint being lumbered with the issues of state rather than an entire demographic of paradoxically unpopular, disordered 'persons'.

In order to more thoroughly follow the path of our ancestors, I believe our new monarchs should be bloodied in battle so to assess their prowess over the peasantry and indeed other monarchs. Perhaps an arm wrestle between Prince William and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark would be suitable to get the ball rolling.

Any other ideas for the reinstitution of feudalism? (It's the same thing, right?)
