Duke of Clarence (later William IV) who was in the Navy in the Rev War as well.
That's the sailor king, right? The one that they mention in Hornblower as being the prince who later lets the Navy drink their health sitting down? XD
This interest in Kennedy is more than a little weird and entirely unexpected after all the ranting I've done about how he's not as fundamentally appealing to me as either Bush or Hornblower, but what can you do? randomalia got me into Hornblower in the first place, and then points out all the Hamlet references and the fact that he's kind of an ass and not actually all that sweet of a guy, and behold! I get up early in the morning and end up writing crappy, pretentious fic at 10AM in the morning isntead of studying for said exam.
