: King George the Third of England (The guy who fought
: the American colonys and had the tea tax and whatnot)
: Was the king of england until they locked him up in an
: asylum because he had gone insane (Wether
: because of a disease or because of a pyche problem
: is still unknown) and while he was locked up his son,
: George the Fourth became regent and "Ruler of
: England in all but name". Later King George the third
: was reinstated after being concidered 'Sane' and his
: son had to wait his turn. Similar to what happened in
: Myth
It's somewhat different when the person you appoint is in direct line to get the throne anyway. What you don't want is someone with some claim to the throne who is not in the direct line. The best I can figure, Caliban was killed and his son Alric wasn't old enough to rule, so Mauriac was appointed. He had no claim to the throne, nor much desire to be king, but he was a big hero, so people would accept him as a temporary leader.
