Princeps

A funny word princeps, which many people of superficial knowledge translate as prince, but it can also refer to a king, or a feudal lord, or an emperor, as per the book by Macchiavelli. Princes come and go, but a real live emperor can always stay the distance. Les princes de bretagne - what are these? Compared to the last pure monarchy in Europe, whose lineage establishes their mother in thronedom from the line of Brian Boru, and where the high king still has his seat, despite the establishment of a republic-cum-state in the preambles to the state constitution, though this constitution still allows for the Return of the King in due time, should the people of both sides of the island desire it, say by a referendum. The people are the subjects of the constitution, and the Judaeo-christian God is the guarantor of the same, so if the people do decide they wish for a return of a monarchy, then this can happen by writ. Which island? Ireland.
