It feels, to Claudius, rather rude to describe Sagramore or Galahad as Arthurian, just because they happened to pass through King Arthur's court in their careers. But if Claudius himself is from a play called Hamlet, it more or less fits the pattern. Kings have to have everything important named after them. "We can add Luo Binghe to the list, as well," he says, faithfully writing down each name. "And Lan Wangji, though from the sound of it, the dramatic adaptation of his life is somewhat lacking. There might be more than one work for him, like my play and the Lion King."
