So.... this happened....
 

[Eric Blank]

Is this a modded or vanilla game? I coulda swore there was a tag in the normal dwarf monarch raws that makes them and their spouses excempt from normal punishment. Probably shouldnt have even happened.

According to my (unmodded) entity raws, there are three tokens of interest in the monarch definition. [MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION] , [MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION_SPOUSE] , and [PUNISHMENT_EXEMPTION].

Note the lack of a [PUNISHMENT_EXEMPTION_SPOUSE], if such a token is valid. Seems like either an oversight, or this was intended.

oh my god

this game is awesome

How does the king feel about it? This being dwarf fortress, I bet he's totally satisfied that the crime was punished? 

[TubaDragoness]

He probably would be if he were the injured party. Sadly, it's the mayor who ordered the beating, not the King.

[Quietust]

This might actually be due to this bug - it's currently possible for the King himself to be punished for failing to complete a mandate, and if the Consort was supposed to be exempt from punishment as well, that protection would fail to be applied.

Vanilla.

Apart from what Quietust said re: exemptions not being checked for civilisation-based nobles, monarchs have the tags "menial work exempt", "menial work exempt - spouse" and "punishment exempt", but notably no "punishment exempt - spouse", which sort-of suggests that spouses are not supposed to be safe from punishments.

I don't know what "menial work exempt" is actually supposed to do in more current game versions (0.34+?) - nobles, no matter where they're based, can have their labours changed and will perform the same jobs as any civilian. This holds true for champions, the only noble that presumably successfully checks their menial-work-exemption in DF2014.

That's because MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION doesn't work at all, another bug that dates back all the way to version 0.31.
