...were they a Queen & King or Lady & Lord? I'm not quite sure. :confused: In some sites, they say they're Queen & King, others say Lady & Lord. But as far as I can remember, they were King & Queen because of this line:

"..The youngest of the Queens laughed. Tirian stared at her. He realized it was Jill, but not the Jill he last saw her.."
 
They were undoubtedly Lord and Lady of Narnia. But even as they called all seven of them kings and queens, Peter introduced Polly and Digory as Lady and Lord. So my guess is that, while they all looked and dressed as kings and queens, Jill, Eustace, Digory, and Polly maintained their Lord and Lady titles rather than becoming kings and queens.

They are defintly called seven Kings and queens, but Polly and Digary are introduced as Lord and Lady. I think they were defintly derssed as Kings and Queens. Maybe its smbolic of the glory of the redemer in Hevean, as the Bible says we will riagn with Christ? Or maybe it was just the ay they were drssed.
 
What's the difference between king and queen or lady and lord anyway? I would just guess king and queen because of that line in the book and I thought all of the friends of Narnia were kings and queens.
 
Kinga and Queens are highter; A king rule the county, but a Lord didnt. They were uselly prity powerful tho, but not as powerful as a king.
 
Being a King or Queen means that either Aslan has ordained you as such or you have become one down the rightful line of sucession.

A Lord or Lady is a title bestowed upon a non-royal member, sometimes for services done for the royalty. In Digory and Polly's case, it was for their initial adventure to get the apple and plant the Tree of Protection. In Jill and Eustace's case, it was for finding the lost prince.

Well, seeing is as an eschatological book, overall patterned after Christianity's teachings, I would think that they were given crowns upon arrival in eternity. In title as far as Narnia went they'd have been called lord and lady, but in Aslan's country king and queen fit just fine.
 
I've always seen them more as a Lord and Lady. They weren't actually ever officially crowned King and Queen. And I remember that to Tirian they all looked like Kings and Queens, though Jill and Eustace weren't really not, but looked like it.

my viewpoint.

I`m pretty sure they were Lady and Lord.
 
Yeah, my reckoning is that the only Kings and Queens of Narnia (not including Archenland, etc.) were Frank & Helen's family and the Pevensies, because they are clearly the more important royalty in Narnia - after Aslan, of course.
