    Voted for Steward because I prefer the possible tensions that might develop from the situation.

    If we go for that, I'm all for modding the King's sons ages to higher values.

    It will certainly detract a bit from the historal truth but then M2TW makes Louis (the Prince) an adult while he was born in 1081 (on turn 2 )

    Sadly, both the two younger sons died in infancy.

    Do you want me to rename them as well ? They should be Henri and Charles rather than Henry (english) and Michiel (which should be Michel).

    I'm all for renaming them. (What sort of name is Michiel anyways. Seems like Michel with a typo. )

    If I recall correctly our Prince Louis is in fact Louis the Fat. If so, I insist we call him that.

    Yes, that's him... Fatso.... But he was also called le Batailleur (the warmonger ?) so beware...

    I was referring to that!
    Edit: To me Michiel sounds like a girls name so I would prefer a different name and Charles is better.

    Michel may sound like a girl's name, but it is a legitimate French male first name. I can't see changing names just because they sound more manly.

    No, but Phillipe of France never had a child named Michel...

    True, but wouldn't something like this change every name along the line from "Michel" to Charles?

    No, since this can be easily changed in descr_strat.txt file by replacing Michiel with Charles.

    That would be my guess about what the joke is.

    Only Ibn knows for sure, though.
