This may be more of a "DM Stuff" enquiry, but I couldn't see a good sub-forum there for it. (I hope you will indulge a newbie if I was wrong.)
I'm looking for information on royal titles/forms-of-address for my homebrew campaign. I've found some good information over ye olde net but there are a couple of things that I can't figure out:
What is the title of the male heir to the throne (of a Kingdom) called during a period of Regency? That is, his ma and pa, the Queen and King, are dead, he's next in line, but he isn't yet old enough to be crowned, so there's a Regent in place of a King for a while. Is he still just called "Prince ____" during this time?
I'm assuming that once he is crowned, he becomes "King" even if he is not married, right?
The setting is much akin to feudal Europe, 16-18th Centuries ... but with some magic thrown into the mix.
Sorry, I know I could just "Rule 0" my system of monarchy, etc, but I'm a stickler for details like this
I appreciate any assistance on this ... even more so if it came with phat linkage about such things, so that I'd not be bothering you further.
