In case my Klingon wasn't as clear as I'd intended, I meant to say that, the
fact that Claudius became king had nothing to do with his marriage to the
queen. Claudius was next in line for the throne after Hamlet Sr died. He
married the queen *because* he succeeded to the throne. Sorry to rain on your
