EXECUTION OF ROYALTY

Execution of the Kings and Crown Princes of France and England is strictly forbidden. If such a King or Crown Prince is executed, the offending player will be summari ly ejected from the game. The Game Sysop will resurrect the dead royal.

The reason for this rule is that executing (as opposed to assassinating, cursing or killing in combat) Kings and Crown Princes simply wasn't done during this period. So any one doing it in HYW is simply trying to employ a little ahistorical gamesmanship. This is something we discourage as much as possible.

This rule is not in effect in Bedlam or Bohort games.
