Even in these days when kingship and House of Lords were abolished, the sense of social inequality remained keen.
The old Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus puts this view of the kingship very clearly in the mouth of Hermutrude, a legendary queen of Scotland. Thus her sceptre and her hand went together."
