DerAppie: Complaining that someone got screwed out of something 500 years ago would open the floodgate to a lot of similar complaints.

But it worked out so well for Israel!

Rent Party: The people will flock to their rightful King.

Hey. He's not my king. I didn't vote for him. Just because some watery tart threw a sword at him, doesn't make him my king.

I've taken my understanding of royalty from Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft. Did they put his head on a pike, and parade it down Tower road?

kimwim: How do you know he's a king?

He hasn't got shiat all over'em.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

BronyMedic: Mikelaw is too blunt. Your name needs more subtlety and tact attached to it.

I propose the Kingdom of Cornhole.

It's precisely as subtle as Danelaw.

Failing that, they can pay him a Mikegeld to keep his armies away.

AkaranD: Ok.
If I found out that I was supposed to be the rightful King of England... I'd be turning over every stone, lawyer, and vault I could find until I mysteriously vanished one night. I mean, it's a Kingship. Figurehead, yes, but damn. It's a Kingship.

/Kingship.
//Would also take Scottland.
///Or Spain.
////Or just slashies.

It seems like some sort of division would be the solution, give him Wales and Cornwall or something. They can call it the Mikelaw.

Did he at least give the sword back?

Nem Wan: He'd also be rightful king of Australia. He could try that on for size first.

Finally, a premise for my alternate history novel.
