A nice idea, but how can Catherine of Valois be the Queen when Henry only married her after defeating the French at Agincourt?
I think the designers of such chess sets get too hung up on the supposed gender implied by the term 'Queen'and should, instead, give that piece to the most powerful mobile unit on the battlefield. The most risible example of this ia the Franklin Mont Waterloo set, that has Kitty Pakenham squaring up to the Empress Marie Louise...
I realize that Henry only married her afterwards, but for the purpose of a queen, that is the only candidate for England that fits.
I appreciate your comment on not getting too hung up on the gender issue, but since the set is already made, I cannot change that. Who else would fit for queen?
Looks great, I love all Prince August chess sets and have no problem selling them. I keep being asked if I have any roman chess sets. I think a roman chess set would be great addition.
