About a week or so ago I believe there was (because of a topic I made about whether the Green Isles is technically a territory  of Daventry), a discussion about just how the Green Isles' government might work--In terms of succession, the power of the Crown, etc. I was hoping we could have a similar sort of discussion about Daventry:

How do you think the government runs? How much power do you think Graham has? Is he an absolute monarch or more of a constitutional monarch like the British Queen? What about the Position of Prime Minister--we know it exists in Daventry from several sources, as well as the position of Seneschal--What do they think they do in Daventry?  And what about the Dukes, Earls and other Nobility?

I think its implied that he has absolute power. He was able to fire his "prime minister" Gawain for giving him bad advice about sacrificing maidens to the three-headed dragon.

But seriously at times his wife is the one really running the country ;).

He isn't tyrannical though.
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

I definitely agree with Baggins - even just seeing him in-game, it looks more like Graham has absolute power over the kingdom but also has a bit of a touch with the kingdom-folk as it were, seeing as he started life not being of Royal blood.

A wise and fair ruler.

Well actually he was of noble birth(as was his father), just not of same line as Edward.

As for the  Seneschal, which is basically what Oswald does in the novels.
