Hi everybody! First: thanks for this d.g. Second: I've been reading carefully all you discussed since the beginning: pleased to receive all this information as I'm in the sh*tty situation of making my degree thesis on beloved Sarah! What a task! Third: reading Crave at the moment,so here's my question: a king is mentioned: "The king is dead, long live the king", what does it refers to? May be the fisher king legend? Thanks in advance! ga

I don't know about the context within Crave, though it is what tends to be said when a monarch dies. "the king is dead, long live Queen Elizabeth the Second" was how the BBC announced the Queens acsession to the throne (I'm not that old I did modern history:), But it may be the fisher king legend. Or Kanute seeming to return from the dead in battle.

It's definitely what's said whenever a British king dies and his successor is proclaimed, that's where she would have got it from.
Best wishes with you study Gaia, if you have any questions e-mail me and I'll do my best to help.
Love, Jess xx
