Hello Longshanks, I like that handle, though I'm sure the Welsh and Scots may not. Mr.chilling has answered your question well. I have never experienced a civil war yet, but definitely pick the side with the top general. If he is not of royal blood, take whatever side he chooses and ride him to the crown. Be assured the neighboring factions will be hanging about like vultures, waiting to pick up some of your territory. Good luck, I hope old queeny throws you male pup soon.
