Editing Interregnum and the Repair (section)

===[[The Court of Queen Margot]] or ''''' The Reign of Queen Margot''  or '''Who was in Charge during the Repair?'''===
Soon after the carriage of King Oberon went west, many people panicked.   Drinking was rampant as people felt as if the universe would end.  Pyrotechnics filled the night sky as the pattern generated them in its own energy.

There are stories about Dame Margot drinking heavily and declaring herself Queen of Amber, wearing the crown of Amber and drinking from a gallon jug of Bayle's Gin.  She apparently lead a court of castle staff declaring themselves dukes and barons, and elderly knights.

This incident has been seen in the popular literature as a epic tale, and has been made in to fanciful tales, morality plays, songs, ribald fireside stories and other tales as a time of whimsy under a fun but insane queen.

The date of the event is uncertain but what is clear is it occured in the first month.  Margot ruled for one year, though her authority had more to do, they say, to the remaining people in the castle mainly being staff members.
[[Dame Margot]] does not speak of this time and wise people do not mention it to her.

However, aside from the popular tales and ribald accounts the reality is that she oversaw things far beyond her authority with the help of her staff and Prince Arloxedra and Lady Elyane.

There is a rumor that Prince Arloxedra and Lady Elyane also wore the King and Queen's crowns, though the both vigorously deny this.

===='''The Musical'''====
The musical '''"The Reign of Queen Margot"''' by Prince Bleys of Amber is one of the most popular productions among the gentry of Amber.  It has a dozen songs that are commonly sung by everyone from children of the citizenry to the staff of the castle.  
*The song '''"Haul Away"''' is sung in the play by sailors of the merchant navy left behind by the royals to die, glorifying Queen Margot's role in saving the fishing fleet.  It has since been adopted by the sailors  of the merchant ships.  It has a cadence that matches the effort to raise or lower sails.
*The song '''"Little Ones"''' is sung in the play by Queen Margot to a group of orphans as she feeds them a nighttime snack and sings them to sleep.  It has  since become a very common lullaby. 
*The song '''"Chainmail Leggings'''[[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Chainmail_Leggings]]" is sung in the play by soldiers too infirm or elderly to go with the army of Amber to fight at Patternfall as Queen Margot implores them to live up to their oaths and rise from their sickbeds to defend the castle.  It has become popular as a tavern song.
*The song '''"Coming of the King"''' sung in the play by the whole cast has become the Theme music for King Random.  Even King Random likes it.  During the song Queen Margot leads the ''People of the Repair'' in laying down their titles gained from her and swearing fealty to the king.

Prince Bleys and Dame Margot have agreed never to discuss the play between them again.
