Grammar Checking

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

This incident placed a heavy responsibility on Agatha because she was the only heiress of the Kingdom.
Is there a grammatical error or not in this word?

I think the issue may be with the capitalization of "Kingdom." Unless there is some other reason in the context around this sentence, "kingdom" is a common noun and should not be capitalized.

This link has the overall rules and some good examples: https://getitwriteonline.com/capitaliza ... mon-nouns/
Here is a specific case using "kingdom": https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/thre ... un.234375/

Your observation makes a lot of sense to me now. I also could't see any grammatical mistake in the sentence.
