King Caspian
You've put "Caspian VIII" in the succession boxes for the Pevensies. Why Caspian VIII, rather than Caspian I? —wwoods 19:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't have copies of the books handy, so I can't check, but
 * "I note that someone had formerly claimed that Swanwhite was the Pevensies' successor. This was CLEARLY erroneous: one can straightforwardly locate any of a variety of "Narnia chronology" type Web sites, ..."
 * Swanwhite says Lewis was inconsistent about her era.


 * "Secondly, recall that the Pevensies visited Narnia the second time the very year after their first time, and only about fourteen Narnian years had elapsed, and then assisted Caspian IX in taking the throne from his evil uncle, Miraz. Insofar as Caspian IX was too young to have been reigning when the Pevensies left Narnia after their first visit/14-year reign, and as Miraz was a USURPER--meaning he was not chosen or elevated or gifted the throne by right of primogeniture--we must conclude that Caspian IX's FATHER was on the throne just after the Pevensies left. That gentleman was named Caspian (remember, how in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a teen-aged Caspian tells Lord Bern, "I am Caspian, son of Caspian"), so his full reign name must have been CASPIAN THE EIGHTH."
 * Several centuries passed in Narnia between Lion and Prince Caspian, including the conquest of Narnia by Caspian I and the reigns of his Telmarine successors. Caspian IX was the murdered brother of Miraz, and the eponymous Prince Caspian became Caspian X.
