If you look back lo these many pages, you'll observe that Malhaz was five when the knives first came for him, and he survived that. I think he made it to eleven before the Mad Viking Assassins finally got him. Alexander was two or so, I believe. Wicked deeds, indeed. It is an ill thing when children must suffer for the crime of being born to a particular mother! I feel convinced that even the gentle Christ will have a word or two to say about that, when Afzal comes before his throne. The infidels themselves must surely frown upon such deeds; I suspect that "the Compassionate, the all-Merciful" would have little mercy for such crimes. Rome, meanwhile, rejoices in the knowledge that God favours our cause: Observe that no less than four children have been born to the Cypriot Duke since this struggle began, and every one a daughter! Surely it is a sign of divine favour that we need not sully our souls with the deaths of children, merely for political ambitions.
You've got the sexes backwards, there. The duke of Cyprus married his daughter to a Komnenos, thus putting his grandsons at risk for no gain to himself whatever, unless of course you count the gain of having grandsons. However, Thomas the Conqueror did not put any grandson of his into the line of fire; the Komnenos who married Hana Fatimid was Vakhtang, a distant cousin in the Georgian line of Komnenoi.
Fine, still playing politics with children.
Is fun?
Well maybe, but lamenting when they fall prey to those same politics you thrust them into seems a little foolhardy and hypocritical.
God decides if they are worthy of survival, otherwise they are there only for the thril of it. =D
Then God, and not Polarians, shall decide whether grannies shall be held responsible for their actions!

KoM said:It is an ill thing when children must suffer for the crime of being born to a particular mother!
Maybe, but KoM was decrying the death of the children!
If the kid wasn't there in the first place he wouldn't be in danger!
Then dont kill the child. Simple as that. If you dont kill the child you are not a murderer. But if you do, you are a murderer and you will go to hell.
