Highly amusing what you wrote about the two saints! I hail from two
institutions where that rule does apply, but people inevitably get in
wrong - Kings' House (in my old school - after Kings Charles I and II)
and Queens' College, Cambridge


But, just to keep you on your toes, Queen's College, Oxford!


One Queen at Oxford; there's only one Queen at Oxford! :-)

Reminds me of the old college joke, about the fresh-faced undergraduate
walking along the Cam, looking for the Queens' College boathouse, and
coming across a group of beefy looking oarsmen, saying, "are you lot
Queens' ", before being upended into the river.

Well, it made me laugh when I first heard it!
