Speaking of the Comyn

[james_davis_nicoll]

If you could overthrow one fictional set of aristocrats and nobles whose creator clearly thinks are the bee's knees, which lot would you pick?

I'm more inclined to be harshest towards the SFnal aristocracies, since they have actual history to have learned from.

Wasn't there a big thorny magic forest to stop the proles just offing the sleeping court?
Though I'm sure the peasants knew all about slash'n'burn forest clearances...

Thinking about it (probably far too deeply), it was the "good" fairy who sent the whole court to sleep rather than just allowing the princess to die.
So she probably had some power grab in mind, possibly in league with the "wicked" fairy. Come to think of it, has anyone seen them in the same room together?

There ain't no wicked fairy, just good fairy when she's drunk.
