Prince

Book portrayal

This page refers to the enchanted prince encountered in The Silver Chair before Jill, Eustace, and Puddleglum fully understand who he is. That mystery matters to the shape of the book. For a long stretch, the prince is both victim and threat, lucid one hour and perilous the next.

He is later revealed to be Prince Rilian, son of Caspian X. Read as a separate entry, this page is best understood as the story’s earlier, hidden view of the same character.
