who: royal duchies of mecklenburg

Since 1930 various members of the Royal House of Mecklenburg have been awarded dukedoms similar to the current practice in Sweden.

The first two dukedoms were awarded to the children of King Heinrich Ludwig I on 1 January 1930 when the King changed the rules of succession to allow women to inherit. Since 1930, dukedoms have been awarded upon birth, with the exception of Heinrich Ludwig’s three eldest granddaughters who were born in London during WWII. The three princesses were retroactively granted their titles once word of their births had reached the King in Mecklenburg.

These titles are only nominal and non-hereditary, though they are transferrable to any spouse of the original holder of the title. The dukedoms are granted without rank but are placed above all other titles (except for monarchical titles and the crown princely title of the heir/ess apparent). Unlike Sweden, the monarch continues to use their dukedom title after ascending the throne.

Dukedoms’ names are taken from major cities and towns in Mecklenburg, along with significant landmarks.

Below is a list of dukedoms in the order they were granted:

Paul Friedrich II, Duke of Rostock, 1930-1982

Marie Elisabeth, Duchess of Parchim, 1930-present

Heinrike Franziska, Duchess of Ratzeburg, 1940-present

Elisabeth Mathilde, Duchess of Güstrow, 1942-present

Marie Anastasia, Duchess of Grevesmühlen, 1944-present

Cecilie Auguste, Duchess of Ludwigslust, 1947-present

Wilhelm Franz I, Duke of Schwerin, 1949-1992

Alexandrine Luise, Duchess of Waren, 1951-present

Albrecht Gustav, Duke of Bad Doberan, 1953-present

Ingrid Sophie, Duchess of Teterow, 1955-2012

Karolina Augusta I, Duchess of Elde, 1988-present

Karolina Augusta I, Duchess of Rostock, 1989-present

Klaus Wilhelm, Duke of Havel, 1992-present

The spouses of the above also held or hold the titles by virtue of their marriage:

Thyra of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Duchess of Rostock, 1939-1981

Gorm of Denmark, Duke of Parchim, 1949-1991

Rupprecht of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Duke of Güstrow, 1970-1978

Heinrich of Hesse-Kassel, Duke of Grevesmühlen, 1972-1999

Michael, Hereditary Prince of Schwarzburg, Duke of Ludwigslust, 1975-present

Alexander of Schleswig-Holstein, Duke of Waren, 1980-present

Veronica Doncaster, Duchess of Bad Doberan, 1982-present

Eleonora of Leiningen, Duchess of Schwerin, 1985-present

While there are no rules regarding who can and cannot be awarded dukedoms, it is the intention for the titles to be limited to the children of the monarch and the children of the heir or heiress apparent.

WILD ARMS 2 - Millennium Puzzle

No, not the one from Yu-gi-oh.

This is a great little set piece for the game overall. It introduces both a device and a plot point very early, both of which get brought back up much later in the game. The story itself is a little odd, we aren’t told here what Lilka’s actually doing or where she is, other than she is trying to operate this magical contraption/facility with her sister’s instruction. The dungeon is aesthetically fun and memorable, made up of ornately patterned blocks over a colorful nebulous kind of magical aether. The dungeon and name would actually go on to inspire the much more elaborate Millennium Puzzle side quest in Wild Arms 3, with matching aesthetic.

We start with a real weird one: The Gohm are these humanoid cockroach looking enemies that make up most of the random encounters. The frustrating part is that there’s really nothing to go off of as far as a source or inspiration. The only related content I could find is a monster-of-the-week from the super sentai series, Dengeki Sentai Changeman, and a character from the manga Konjiki no Gasshu!! (aka Zatch Bell!):

The Go-mu monster in Changeman doesn’t really bare any resemblance but the kana, ゴーム , are exactly the same, and it does have an electric shock attack. Gorm/Goomu, from Zatch Bell, is also a humanoid bug but doesn’t seem to share any more specific features like the electric attack or direct ties to magic that might place it in this magic puzzle environment.

Beyond that, the katakana ゴーム romanizes a number of ways: Gomu, Gohm, Gorm, Gome, Gomm, Gomme, etc... none of which really lead anywhere in the search. Gorm most notably is the name of Gorm the Old, and Gorm Prince of Denmark, both of which are written in kana as ゴーム, yet neither of whom appear to have anything to do with bugs, magic or electricity/lightning.

So... yeah... Seriously, I have zero idea what the hell this thing is...

This one’s more concrete and despite the innocuous name, actually a really clever way to come up with a fairly original monster. (The Blue Book also appeared in the original Wild Arms, also in the crest sorceress character’s prologue dungeon, the Sealed Library.) The Blue Book enemy is, as its name suggests, a kind of compilation of magic information, in this case having access to most of the basic elemental attack spells.

And a clever little detail is that because the Blue Book is weak to fire (duh, it’s a book) the Flame spell is the one elemental attack it can’t use.

Over the course of the franchise there have been other book enemies as well, including the Necromicon[sic], Targum, and Adult Mag/Dirty Mag. The Necronomicon is of course the famous pop culture icon of Lovecraftian lore, a detailed grimoire of old gods and summoning rituals written by one Abdul Alhazred. As a fun related note, the first Wild Arms game features a major antagonist named Alhazad which is actually an error in reversing the transliteration from Alhazred to アルハザード(a-ru-ha-zaa-do).

Another fun obscure factoid, is that the Targum enemy is named after the early Aramaic translations of Jewish scripture from Hebrew. Although the first Wild Arms game transliterated タルギュム(ta-ru-gyu-mu) as Talgium.

The Bogey is based on such a broad and archaic term, there wasn’t really a good visual to use for this: There both wasn’t any good quintessential bogey to really represent the concept, and of the various differing ones out there none were really any kind of inspiration for Wild Arms 2′s interpretation. The bogey is of course the origin of the term Bogeyman (aka Boogeyman/Boogieman/Bogieman, etc...) and the two ideas are functionally the same. Apart from being vaguely ghostly and/or jellyfish-like, I don’t really get “evil spirit” vibes from this design, though...

It also just has a normal attack and Drift, which wastes a turn, so those don’t lend any flavor to it either. The one thing of any real relevance is that the Millennium Puzzle is later revealed to be a gate to the afterlife, from which Lilka tries and fails to pull her late sister back through, and later, fellow protagonist, Ashley Winchester; so, spirits and/or ghosts aren’t entirely out of place here, but once we take that into consideration the Blue Books start to make less sense. And again, Gohm remains an enigma in and of itself.

So all in all the dungeon’s inhabitants aren’t super unified, apart from the very loose thread between the Bogey being a ghost, and the Blue Book being a grimoire making for a vague occult/supernatural motif. Really I don’t know what to make of most of this... It’s not quite “nonsense” as far as dungeon ecology goes, but it’s not as neatly coherent as the Withering Ruins or even Green Hell from the other two prologues.

And then the boss of Lilka’s prologue chapter, which I wasn’t even going to mention at first, doesn’t actually appear in the dungeon itself. The dungeon is part of a flashback to events that led to Lilka’s arrival in a small town where the boss monster attacks. And honestly, even if I were to look for some thematic ties between everything here, I don’t think I could squeeze anything meaningful out of it.

Like... the boss monster is just named Olivier?? That isn’t just not-a-monster, that’s not even a thing. It’s just a person’s name... I don’t think there’s anything it could’ve been mis-transliterated from either, then kana is pretty straight forward: オリヴィエル(o-ri-vi-e-ru). Oliviel? Oriviel? Orivier? don’t really make any more or less sense than Olivier does. (both Gorm and Olivier are Dutch names though...)

The one thing I’ve found is that the kana frequently come up in some fairly low budget Japanese games (and all more recent than Wild Arms 2) as the name of angelic figures, all women, and with epithets like “SwordSong Master,” “Fallen Angel,” “Dark Angel,” etc... which would suggest that the name ends in -iel and draws from some biblical source. But that just points me to the archangel Orifiel/Oriphiel, which is remarkably close phonetically, but that ヴィ can really ONLY be read as a “vi.” And even then, it’s a wild tangent, because there is absolutely nothing about the monster Olivier that suggests “angel,” fallen or otherwise, and the angel in question doesn’t associate with anything relating to the monster anyway...

Netflix's Vikings: Valhalla cast includes actors and actresses who should be familiar to many TV viewers. The historical drama series takes place 100 years after the events of the popular History Channel show Vikings and chronicles the lives of several real-life Scandinavian warriors. Vikings: Valhalla doesn't have an official release date but will premiere sometime in 2021.

Vikings: Valhalla focuses on the end of the Viking era as Christianity takes over Scandinavia. When a religious Viking named Torsen survives a massacre led by King Æthelred the Unready, he forms a romance with a deeply anti-Christian woman named Freydís Eiríksdóttir. Vikings: Valhalla sets up a war between religious progressives and Scandinavians who cling to the past.

The Vikings: Valhalla main cast includes an ensemble lineup. Some performers already have loyal followings due to prominent roles in mainstream television, while others are mostly known for work in their native homelands. Just as Vikings helped launch the careers of so many actors and actresses, the Netflix follow-up will similarly do the same.

Sam Corlett stars as Leif Eriksson, a famous Icelander who arrived in North America several hundred years before Christopher Columbus. In Vikings: Valhalla, he's framed as an outsider character who values family and old pagan beliefs. Netflix has teased that Leif will introduce audiences to a Viking world "in the throes of violent change." Corlett portrays Caliban in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He also appeared as Young Luke in the 2020 film The Dry.

Frida Gustavsson co-headlines as Freydis Eriksdotter, Leif's pagan sister who values the ways of the Old Gods. After experiencing various tragedies, Frida forms a romance with a religious man and leads an uprising against Christians. Actress Katia Winter portrayed Freydis Eriksdotter in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Gustavsson also starred as Vuxna Thea in the TV series Dröm and may be familiar to Netflix viewers as Ma from The Witcher season 1. She recently appeared as Clara in the 2020 series Partisan.

Leo Suter appears as Harald Sigurdsson, a nobleman who is one of the last Viking berserkers. Due to his charming ways, he's able to bridge the gap between Vikings and Christians, or at least that's his intent. Suter portrayed Young Stringer in Sanditon and Captain Bill Lauder in The Liberator. He also appeared as Drummond in Victoria and Daniel Beecham in Beecham House.

Bradley Freegard co-stars as King Canute, the King of Denmark. He's a legendary Viking leader who was crowned in 1017. Freegard appeared as Mei Huws in the series Gwaith/Cartref and starred as Evan Howells in Keeping Faith.

Jóhannes Jóhannesson portrays Olaf Haroldson, Harald’s half-brother. He's a Christian who believes in the Old Testament and is quite large in stature. In real life, Olaf became the King of Norway. Jóhannesson is best known for portraying Lem Lemoncloak in Game of Thrones and Cumber the Ice King in Cursed. He also appeared as Bors in The Letter for the King.

Laura Berlin co-stars as Emma Of Normandy, an ambitious woman from the Norman court with Viking heritage. She's a savvy businesswoman with interest in politics, and also one of the wealthiest females in Europe. Berlin portrayed Julia Weigert in Einstein and Charlotte Lindemann in Breaking Even. She also appeared as Charlotte Montrose in the movies Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue.

David Oakes appears as Earl Godwin, the chief counsellor to the King of England. Based on the man's real life story, he seems to be the Littlefinger of Vikings: Valhalla. Oakes portrayed Juan Borgia in The Borgias and Prince Ernest in Victoria. He's also known for his role as George Duke of Clarence in The White Queen.

who: british line of succession

Succession to the British throne is determined by descent, gender, legitimacy, and religion. Under common law, the crown is inherited by an individual's children and by a childless individual's nearest collateral line. The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701, both of them as amended in March 2015, restrict the succession to the legitimate Protestant descendants of Sophia of Hanover that are in "communion with the Church of England” (while marrying to Roman Catholics no longer disqualifies). Protestant descendants of those excluded for being Catholics are eligible to succeed.

The United Kingdom is one of the 16 Commonwealth realms. Each of those countries has the same person as monarch and the same order of succession. In 2011, the prime ministers of the realms agreed unanimously to adopt a common approach to amending the rules on the succession to their respective Crowns so that absolute primogeniture would apply for persons born after the date of the agreement, instead of male-preference primogeniture, and the ban on marriages to Roman Catholics would be lifted. The ban on Catholics themselves was retained to ensure that the monarch would be in communion with the Church of England. After the necessary legislation had been enacted in accordance with each realm's constitution, the changes took effect on 26 March 2015.

(source)

Current line of succession (as at 2015 and limited to the descendants of Elizabeth II)

Note on members of the Royal House and Family of Mecklenburg:

The first King, Heinrich Ludwig I was a descendant of George II through his mother, and of George I through his father, with his mother having the superior claim. Heinrich Ludwig’s wife was also a descendant of George I but as a Roman Catholic, Karola was excluded from succession. Heinrich Ludwig lost his place in the line of succession following his marriage to a Roman Catholic. Heinrich Ludwig and Karola’s children were placed in the line of succession after their father as he had the superior claim.

The second King, Paul Friedrich II, married Duchess Thyra of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a descendant of George III, with a more senior claim, therefore the children of Paul Friedrich and Thyra were placed in the line of succession after their mother.

The third King, Wilhelm Franz I, married Princess Eleonora of Leiningen, a descendant of Queen Victoria but as that descent is through the unapproved marriage of Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia, Eleonora cannot claim her place in the line of succession through that marriage. Instead, Eleonora is in the line of succession to the British throne as a descendant of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Wilhelm Franz has the more senior claim as descendant of George III and thus his children follow him in the line of succession.

The second son of Paul Friedrich II, Prince Albrecht Gustav, married Veronica Doncaster, who has no claim to the British throne and thus their children follow their father.

The eldest daughter of Paul Friedrich II, Princess Heinrike Franziska is unmarried and without issue.

The second daughter of Paul Friedrich II, Princess Elisabeth Mathilde, married Prince Rupprecht of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a descendant of Queen Victoria and thus their children follow their father in the line of succession to the British throne. Princess Elisabeth Mathilde’s descendants have the most senior position of the Mecklenburgers in the British line of succession as they are descended from Queen Victoria’s second son, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

The third daughter of Paul Friedrich II, Princess Marie Anastasia, married Prince Heinrich of Hesse-Kassel, who had a more senior claim as a descendant of Queen Victoria through her eldest daughter, thereby the children of Marie Anastasia and Heinrich follow their father in the line of succession.

The fourth daughter of Paul Friedrich II, Princess Cecilie Auguste, married Hereditary Prince Michael of Schwarzburg, a descendant of George I of the United Kingdom. As Cecilie Auguste has a more senior claim as a descendant of George III, their children follow their mother in the line of succession.

Princess Marie Elisabeth, daughter of Heinrich Ludwig I, married Prince Gorm of Denmark, who also descended from George II but as Marie Elisabeth had the more senior claim, their children followed after her instead of him. Their grandchildren by their daughter, Feodora, are excluded from the British line of succession as they are Roman Catholic.
