What a weird tradition, denouncing this murderer guy for hundreds of years.

I did manage to witness the duck hunt, which is a once-a-century "tradition" when I was there. A bit weird to have a ritual that nobody was alive for at the previous iteration. I doubt there's even been two coronations that far apart.
