The Barrayaran Privy Council had been a governmental body, which was disestablished by Emperor Yuri Vorbarra, via the infamous act of "Defenestration of the Privy Council" [1]. The Privy Council was not re-established by following rulers of Barrayar.
Behind the scenes[]
- On October 16, 2000, as part of a collection of answers to questions of Russian fans (see www.lavkamirov.com/bujold/enfaqlet.htm), these statements were made:
- [The Defenestration] was literally throwing people out of the window, of course. Why do you think heās called Mad? Messy, that. Although the actual hands-on pitching of bodies may have been by his thuggish bodyguards or other assistants at his order, Iām pretty sure Yuri was physically present in the room at the time.
