Background
Adelmar von Saxewald is the Count of Saxewald, a outer lying county of Bial. He was granted this county by the previous
King,
Wolfgang the Fierce, for his years of service in the defense of Bial.
Having come from a commoner family with a long history of military service,
Adelmar was the first to ever be ennobled. Having focused on being a great warrior first and foremost,
Adelmar for went marriage at the typical age of 22, seeing a family as a burden and distraction. However upon being granted his lands he knew he would have to marry to secure a stable succession to his county, as both his father's brothers
Gerulf &
Wandalin had died without sons, althought
Gerulf left a daughter,
Swanahilda.
Swanahilda is an amazing beauty, and upon her cousin's ennoblement was seen as a great prospect for marriage by many members of the lower nobility.
Adelmar decided to take her as his own wife, to spare her from being used as a pawn in the intrigues of others trying gain his land holdings.
Swanahilda wasn't thrilled at the prospect of marrying
Adelmar, as he was more than twice her age, and a heavily battle scarred veteran, but accepted her duty.
