today's dose of gaming geekery

Courtesy of lunch with my husband, I give you The Lion in Winter (preferentially the Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn version), with the characters re-cast as Changeling sidhe of various Houses:


Henry -- Gwydion. The rage says it all.
Eleanor -- Fiona, most likely; one of them has to be, to explain their screwed-up marriage.
Richard -- also Fiona. Philip, plus "When the fall is all there is, it matters."
Geoffrey -- Ailil. Naturally. He's a cold-blooded scheming bastard.
John -- this one is hard. Tongue-in-cheek, he's a Dougal; he made that little headsman toy, and clearly his physical defect is his brain. As [info] kniedzw said, though, "I respect the Dougal too much for that." Problem is, we respect all the Houses and kiths too much for that.
Alais -- Liam, maybe. On account of being stepped on by everybody around her.
Philip -- Eiluned. Mostly because I can't tell when he's lying and when he's telling the truth in the bedroom scene, and neither, I think, can Henry.
