An excellent summary, indeed.

Just to establish the futility of trying to get a standard name out of all
this, I noticed that my Thronschach calls the piece a Cardinal, and my
ABChess later the same year calls it an Archbishop.  :)  History is on
both sides, and for Princess as well.

But I also like Fergus's reasoning for Paladin.
