A question to ponder:

I just wanted a topic that's not related to porn episodes or Snorbin, so...
Would Fred make a good king? A lot of the women he meets are princesses, so it's fairly safe to assume that it's very possible that Fred would end up becoming king of something or other (or in Astra's case at least royal consort) after a certain point. On the one hand, he has a lot of integrity. On the other hand, he's not very good at diplomacy and he tends to deal with complications in direct, blunt ways that often involve hacking with a sword. This is not good when you're dealing with international politics. Conan (who is somewhat similar) made a good king in Robert E. Howard's stories, but Conan is capable of a certain low cunning which Fred is less prone to.
Thoughts?
