    I had a thought about this sometime ago. This really undermines the “we are all equals” narrative of the french revolution and kindly re-establishes the premises for aristocracy.

      I’m trying not to give any spoilers, but if you want a fantasy series where everybody being equals is an underlying premise of the story, try the witchfire series by james clemens (which I think is a pen name, if I remember correctly; the guy wrote sci-fi and didn’t want to be associated with fantasy).
