narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
The British Royal Family has never been blessed with great height, with the exceptions of Edward I (Longshanks) and Henry VIII, that I know of, certainly for the last couple of centuries, the average has been low, with Victoria being positively tiny, Most of our Prime Ministers have not been that Tall. In fact I cannot think of many political leaders blessed with great height, maybe De Gaulle and Kohl stand out, when you think of the thousands of world leaders there have been, President Bush is quite small, and unfortunately one of the most powerful men on the planet. I honestly do not think that size has anything to do with power, between two of the smallest people in Middle-earth, they destroyed one of the most powerful, something Tall Kings could not do, size is a mere perception.
