<p>If you are the bishop and you were assassinated, are you still protected from the warlord in that turn? I'm guessing you are, and <a href="https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/6761/citadels-does-the-crown-switch-hands-if-the-king-is-killed">this question</a> also hints that you are, but the rules are not clear so I wondered whether it really is the case.</p>

If you are the bishop and you were assassinated, are you still protected from the warlord in that turn? I'm guessing you are, and [this question](https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/6761/citadels-does-the-crown-switch-hands-if-the-king-is-killed) also hints that you are, but the rules are not clear so I wondered whether it really is the case.
