What makes the royal family of a country differ from the peasant? Royalty knows its ancestry. Royalty knows its history. This is what makes them royal. You can’t have a king who can’t trace his history back to his fore-fathers. The only way he can be king is to be born a king. But if you take away his history, and he doesn’t know who his fore-fathers are, what does he become? A peasant. A common, ordinary man.
