What do you think are the Bretonnian words for "Queen", "Prince", and "Princess"?

So... Reinarch for Queen.
The French word for Prince is actually Prince, and the word itself comes from Middle English. European languages do tend to share similar words, Prince must be one of them.
As for Princess, in French, it's spelled "Princesse". I don't know if the extra E is silent or not. But I would assume it's has the same origin and rules as Prince.
So, I'll have to assume that in Bretonnia, they use the words and correct pronunciations of Prince and Princess.
I just realized there has never been a mentioned of a Queen in Bretonnia before....Interesting...
Well, it's required that the King have children, and the sons are required to become Grail Knights. If the King fails to have sons, or all the Princes fail to become Grail Knights, the Fey Enchantress holds elections among the grail knight. I would not be surprised if Grail Knights are also required to marry Princesses from the previous King.
Could you argue that it would just be royarch? I know it says that it means the king of bretonnia but that could just be because bretonnia usually has a king and dukes but if you wanted to make your own headlore about some daughter of a duke that inherited his title and was actually heavy badass, probably on the battlefield and at the courts because there'd probably be some apprehension about breaking the norm and electing a woman to the position. But if she did get the votes and had the blessing of the lady i reckon she'd just be the next royarch of bretonnia. It's arguable though and i don't think currently there's a definitive answer which sometimes in these kinda settings is good, lets us make up some shit.
I wish that could happen, but Bretonnia is infamous for sexism.
Is there an ism Bretonnia doesn't fall into.
I'd say they're more elitist than sexist, not to say they aren't sexist but if a good enough candidate was put forward i don't see any reason it couldn't work. Especially if it's just for your own thing then you can pretty much do whatever. But she would have to be a grail knight and a duchess of one of the grand duchies for it to still fall into lore friendly-ish territory
Royachess maybe
Royalchess sounds like a good game
^ For what? Queen? Prince? Princess?
