Accession : Glory to You and Your House

GOWRON: 

Enough! I don't want to hear anything more about finances, mergers, or currency transactions!

The charge has been made that you have used money to bring down a Great House. 

What do you say to this, D'Ghor? 

 "A Klingon regards the honor of his or her family to be valuable, above all else. The family name can be besmirched by any member of the family, regardless of age or infirmity. A Klingon would sooner kill himself and his closer brother than live with a mark on the name of his ancestral lineage. The family is all, and a member of the family is responsible for the actions of his kin. The oldest son of a Klingon warrior may be called upon to give his life for the actions of his father."

(Norman, Angevin, Plantagenet, Lancaster, York, Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Windsor (or Wettin).

As the Houses of Lancaster and York were really branches of the House of Plantagenet, the first mnemonic can be simplified to 

No Plan To Study History Wisely

In addition, The House of Windsor was a branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which in turn is a branch of the House of Wettin, thus keeping the mnemonic.

Or, to go for the full package, the mnemonic can be extended to

Norman, Plantagenet, Lancaster, York, Tudor, Stuart, Orange, Stuart, Hanover, Saxe-Coburg, Windsor.

 "I started thinking about [...] Houses, and sort of, you know, the idea of bonding people to a Klingon House [....] The idea of bloodlines and families and sort of this Shakespearian idea of how the Klingon Empire ran – I was starting to, sort of, deal with that in this episode."

"We've never explored the hows and whys regarding the naming of Klingon Houses. The House of Mogh reference was probably something that Worf carried on out of respect for his deceased father. This might be the right of a son – to perpetuate a single name for the House instead of supplanting it with his own."

"I think I used the word 'House' in my draft [of 'The Bonding'], even though it's not in the episode."

(On the Klingon homeworld, on a slightly shabby couch, Quark is hypo'd awake) 

QUARK: 

What? What happened? Where am I? 

TUMEK: (ancient family retainer) 

You are on Qo'noS. 

QUARK: 

Qo'noS? The Klingon homeworld. 

TUMEK: 

You are in the ancestral home of what used to be known as the House of Kozak. 

QUARK: 

What's it called now? 

TUMEK: 

Kozak died without a male heir. The House no longer has a name. 

QUARK: 

What about Kozak's brother, D'Ghor? 

TUMEK: 

That pahtk's name is not spoken in this house. 

He is no brother to Kozak. 

His family has been a sworn enemy of this House for 7 generations. 

QUARK: 

But he came to DS9. He told me... 

TUMEK: 

What he told you were lies. He wanted you to say that Kozak had died in honourable combat so that no special dispensation would be granted. 

QUARK: 

I don't understand. 

TUMEK: 

If Kozak had died in an accident and left no male heir, the Council might have decided that this was an unusual situation and granted special dispensation. 

That might have allowed Grilka to become Head of the Family even though she's a woman. 

But if Kozak died in an honourable fight, and was simply defeated by a better opponent, then no dispensation would have been granted, and without a male heir the House will fall. 

GRILKA: 

That hasn't happened yet, Tumek, and there is still time to prevent it from ever happening. 

(She offers a robe to Quark.) 

GRILKA: 

Put this on. 

QUARK: 

Why? 

GRILKA: 

Because if you do not, I will kill you. 

TUMEK: 

I beg you, consider what you do here, mistress. 

GRILKA: 

The decision is made. There is no other choice. 

(Quark struggles into the robe and Grilka takes his hand.) 

GRILKA: 

Go'Eveh lu cha wabeh. Mo ka re'Chos. 

TUMEK: 

Repeat my words Go'Eveh lu cha wabeh. To va re'Luk. 

QUARK: 

Let me ask just one 

(Grilka puts a knife to Quark's throat) 

GRILKA:

 Repeat the words. 

QUARK: 

Go'Eveh lu cha wabeh to va re'Luk. 

TUMEK: 

Ghos ma'lu Kah! 

(Grilka kisses Quark, then spits.) 

TUMEK: 

It is done. 

QUARK: 

What's done? 

TUMEK: 

The ceremony is complete. You are husband and wife.
