Narnian Kings

In Prince Caspian, the good Badger Tufflehunter makes the claim that "Narnia has never been right except when a Son of Adam was king." Not knowing all of Narnia's history, we have to take Trufflehunter's word for it, but we can say that it doesn't work in reverse. Just because a son of Adam was king did not ensure peace in Narnia did not ensure peace in Narnia. After all, the Telemarines were all sons of Adam and daughters of Eve and their reign did not work out very well for the old Narnians. Until, of course, Caspian's reign began. But not because he was the rightful king by Telemarine standards. He had been rooted in Narnia, first by his nurse and later Cornelius, something none of the other Telemarine kings had quite managed. I think it is interesting that Caspian was the chosen king at all. Aslan could have brought in another child from "our world" to rule, but instead Caspian was chosen.
