Talk:Jadis' great-grandfather

Sounds a bit like Vlad Tepes ~Alexander.vanvoorhees, 4/16/2014

King or Emperor?
Was he merely a king or an emperor?

Infobox Picture
The picture in the infobox is very speculative... the only passage I can find in the book that says who they are is when Jadis mentions: "the hall where my ancestors sit". From the illustration, it looks more like Pauline Baynes was drawing both King and Queen in each generation, so both of Jadis' parents, both of her grand-parents, both great-grand parents, and one of her great-great grand parents at the end. Maybe it would be better just to have a cropped picture of all of these ancestors, and have the caption say that it's probably one of them. -- xensyria T 09:17, June 14, 2018 (UTC)

If that were true then it would be man and woman all through the line, but in the Hall of Images, in the first illustration that shows some of Jadis's ancestors (Royalcharn.jpg), you can see what are clearly 2 women sitting next to each other, and later down the line, 2 men. So Pauline couldn't have been drawing both the kings and queens (husbands and wives). Lewis no doubt decided to follow the traditional route of succession; meaning that the crown was passed down to the monarch's first-born, which could have been a man OR a woman, and the ones who were seated in the Hall of Images were the royal's direct descendants, not those who were only related by marriage.

 * Thanks for the quick reply :) To be honest I'm not convinced (again they seem to be in couples to me), but it's ultimately up to you! Just wanted to say I don't think that it's certain either way. -- xensyria T 14:24, June 14, 2018 (UTC)
