Talk:Donal II

Donal II will undoubted clash with Oliweir ffeil Gwilelm, who became Toisag in 1646. Gwilelm is an equivalent of Cromwell. In Ill Bethisad the Kemrese family did not adopt the family name to highlight their relation to Thomas Cromwell. Gwilelm was a religious extremist and an advocate for senatorial autonomy, the Senad being the Kemrese parliament. I am undecided whether he should be Catholic or Protestant. His Irish policy should be decided in collaboration with Keith Gaughan.

That is a rather fun--and realistically odd--image. A fussy little monarch having to argue and deal with this political titan. One is rather reminded of a chihuahua standing up to a german shepherd in defense of the chihuahua's yard. Zahir 23:28, 28 Sep 2005 (PDT)
His equivalent *here* is hated quite vehemently in Ireland, and with good reason. I haven't settled myself on his role in the Confederate War. However, it might help to know that the Oireachas in Cill Chainnigh is a direct continuation of the Confederate General Assembly. My thinking is that whatever happened, he didn't utter the infamous line "to hell, or to Connacht". --Kgaughan 10:16, 5 January 2006 (PST)
