I didn’t actually read the instructions properly and just posted what first came to mind. Then I started reading other people’s answers and thought how unoriginal mine were. Took me a bit to realise that’s the object of the game. 😃 1. I wouldn’t necessarily say she was good, but she was called Good Queen Bess. 2. I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of him if it weren’t for answer 1. 3. Well, duh! (Some monarchs do have to pay taxes, btw, including the British Queen) 4. I meant to post palace. ☹ Castles are made of stone, draughty, have small doorways, and all in all, were built for war, not living. 5. Took me a while to think of one - and _this_ is what I come up with? 6. Not a job title, but there aren’t that many. Knight? Butler? Valet? Manservant? The most common one these days would be bodyguard. ---

The way I see it is if I’m King, they’ll be war so I’ll have need for a good castle. All you living in Suburbia take note! LOL ---
