General Do you have vicious Nobles?

So, I don't think MgT or LBB1 offer Lv 0 of the skill to anyone?

LBB1 doesn't, but TTB and ST both reduce skills past the limit (sum of skill levels caps at sum of Int+Edu) to zeros, not no skills.
MGT 1e, you get level 0 in the whole service skills table on first term in a career. plus some background skills at 0.

The education section did intro the concept of skill-0 but otherwise wasn’t a part of chargen.

I went and looked it up, Piloting is on the Service Skills list for Navy, so since you get all service skills at level 0 when joining the Naval career, everyone has it. In MgT1, I don't know about other versions.

Yes, I'd caught that, and as 'skills remembered at the end of your career', rather than 'all skills you've ever perfected', I can accept Naval Officers with Pilot 0.

This turned out to be an interesting conversation.

And that doesn't even count the illegitimate ones!

To the popes at the time of the Reformation, illegitimate ones where made legitimate. See Caesar Borgia among others.
