LN: von Saxewald
DH: Adelmar Emmerich Vulferam(35)
DW: Swanahilda Godeliva (15)
Rank: Count & Countess (Nobility)
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.

DD: Rosmunda Godeliva (nb)
Rank: Count & Countess (Nobility)
Adelmar & Swanahilda welcomed their first child, a girl named Rosmunda Godeliva, after her grandmothers. Rosmunda is a sweet little child, plump with rosy checks and the lightest covering of red hair.
The von Saxewald family is mixed about the current marriages of the royal family, especially of Princess Adelheid. Adelmar having spent more than 21 years of his life in the service of the King, fighting the French for the most of it, feels that the marriage is a slap in the face of both Wolfgang's memory and the efforts of the soliders who lay down their life.
Swanahilda, while only young and having lost her father and uncles in the battle with the French, thinks whatever can bring peace to the nation is a good thing, and besides at least Adelheid went about her duty of marrying for country, unlike her sister you married for the trivial reason of love.
