Caspian Title Confusion

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

I have scoured sites getting information about the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The same title kept popping up on nearly every page or article: Prince Caspian.

At the end of the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the character wins his crown against Miraz with the help of the Pevensie quartet. Therefore in the VotDT, the correct title for Caspian is: King Caspian. Site after site, including Ben Barnes fansites (except for a few who determined his role as "Caspian"), the character name is repeated as Prince Caspian.

To set the record straight, King Caspian is in the Dawn Treader. In the words of Aslan (in the movie: Prince Caspian) when he speaks to the Pevensies and Caspian by the river: "Rise Kings and Queens of Narnia." Caspian had proved himself to the ominous lion.

Hope all of Ben Barnes's fans are now appeased, his title has been restored once again.
