Subject: Bible/Strange&Norrell crossover, anyone?

The plot is nice and clear, at any rate:

The magician Saul (well, he does summon the dead...!) bargains with David, taking him on as his fairy servant. David defeats Saul's enemies for him and secures his place as king - but Saul should've known better than to trust a fairy. Before too many more years have passed, David has befriended Saul's favourite son - and managed to get himself declared Saul's heir. When Saul and his sons all die in the same battle (which isn't suspicious at all), the fairy servant becomes king over Israel.

Which probably explains why, a few generations later, most of the country schisms away... would you want to live on under a fairy dynasty?

(All in silly fun, I hope.)
