Ok. Supreme Collegium, the one who elects High Kings. What would that be in Latin? Collegium Maxima?

I think, Collegium Supremum (neuter nominative)?

Thats what google-translate gave me. But I thought "maxima" was cooler, though I don not know if its correct.

I think it is a difference between supremum as in 'highest' and maximum (it wouldn't be maxima anyway) as in 'greatest'. Personally, I think the supremum conveys better the idea that it is the highest collection of nobles and prelates in the land, capable of bestowing the kingship. Collegium Maximum evokes the idea of a huge gathering of thousands of participants.

But YPMV. :)

Sorry, it should be "Maxima": But I guess I will use "Collegium Supremum".

YPMV = your pendragon might vary?

Yeah, that is what YPMV stands for.

And I am just saying that since Collegium is neuter-gendered word, then it should be 'Collegium Maximum' instead of 'Collegium Maxima'. :)

Collegia Maxima would be plural.

You really make me wish I knew Latin ... :'(

Thanks for the help!

Excuse me for my bad English.
May I suggest the term Concilium Britanniarum, the Council of the Britains, which I use in my campaign?
At the time of Roman rule there was a Provinciae Concilium, the provincial council, whose function was to elect a high priest for the cult of the emperor. It met at the temple of Claudius in Camolodunum (Colchester). The Concilium also had great political importance in the decisions of the province.
The same historian Gildas in the "De excidio et conquestu Britanniae" mention the existence of consiliarii (council members) in the narrative of events.
The term Britanniarum is plural as in the offices of the Notitia Dignitatum the term is always in the plural (Dux Britanniarun, Comes Britanniarum).

vortiporia, I really like that suggesten. I'll see what I'll end up doing.
