So?

Part of the *point* of an infiltrator used to be that you could force them
to change rulers or generals in the middle of a war.  If the King can be
stabbed in the gut with a poisoned dagger, and be back up on his feet and
running things just as well as before in less than a week, *something* is
clearly wrong.

Having their realm destroyed just because the other realm had more people
and was more ruthless doesn't usually go over too well with people, either,
but I don't see how it's reasonable to demand that that not happen.  From
where I sit, this is about the *weakest* argument in favour of keeping Kings
from losing their positions.

I'm just saying that it is understandable why the members of a realm will
vote a ruler back into power after he is removed by an assassination.  How
many times was a King actually deposed because he was injured.
