No problem, it's "royaume". You weren't wrong. I've got a question:
>does anyone know where "realm" comes from. I think it has the same origin of
>the French "royaume", but I'd like to know your opinion.
I've always thought it came from old English.. If I rememeber right, some
French as borrowed into English, so many realm is a form of Royaume? That is
an interesting question, though :)
