Nice, I’m a fan of the scenario, and enjoyed your portrayal of it. I’ve a few comments/concerns/questions though:

Carbon: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/inorganic/faq/discovery-of-carbon.shtml wasn’t so named until the 17th century. Are you chroniveritous?

Possessive: I enjoyed the use of “his” in the first paragraph, as it gave me the feeling that the boy King was not simply ruler of the domain, but pretensed to own it, giving much insight to his character.

Non-Royal Possessive: Kingly manner of mayn king of various nations made use of the “royal We,” claiming “Our” possessions, etc. Is this boy King intentionally ignoring this possibility, or is he not yet accustomed to it? I ask because of the heavy possessives in the first paragraph, as well as the assertion that he was a born politician.

In all though, it was a captivating read :D

The Royal We? I’m sorry, man, I like can’t say that or use it, you know, without thinking of the Lebowski, man.

Fantasy stories have entirely too many common nouns that are simply Capitalized or Run Together To Make Proper Nouns. :P But I certainly did enjoy this setup for a story.

Excellent story. The circumstances are heart-rending, to see such a distinguished warrior stripped of everything.

I got a kick out of the comment about the use of the word “carbon” being anachronistic. Yeah dawg… loosen up.

I, for one, thought this story worked well, though I was hoping for more of a hint as to what Quincey had done to deserve his punishment.
