There have been many kings in the history of our kingdom. Many ruled justly and wisely, executing the law of the land and protected the people. Under their stewardship, our great nation prospered. Yet many others ruled wickley and poorly. Under them our people suffered, and foreign armies struck us down. Sadly the dark times have often outnumbered the good. But any king’s reign is temporary. Just as a good king eventually gives way to a bad king, so too does a bad king eventually lose out to a good one.
It is the in between moments, the succession, that interests us today.
