royalty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'maybe priam's kin' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'troy lay wounded' is the wordplay.
'wounded' indicates anagramming the letters.
'troy'+'lay'='troylay'
'troylay' with letters rearranged gives 'ROYALTY'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for royalty that I've seen before include "Sovereigns" , "Payment for the right to use someone else's property" , "Majestic quality" , "Kings, queens, etc" , "Ready for performance" .)
