Tragedy again struck the royal family - young Prince Henry, King Edmund and Queen Sapphira's beloved son, died of an illness not long after his first birthday. He had always been a small and sickly child, but the illness that took him was very sudden. The King and Queen were both devastated - nothing wounds the heart of a parent more than losing a child so young. The loss of Henry also reminded the Queen Mother of the loss of little Princess Joanna so many years ago.
The King and Queen soon had reason for rejoicing, however, as a son was born to them a year after Prince Henry's death. Crown Prince Charles is a spitting image of his father, and he dotes on his baby twin sisters, born just a few months ago.
Queen Philippa and King Hugo welcomed three children in quick succession, a blessing to Philippa, who had feared that she was barren. At the christening of their daughter, Princess Oriana, King Hugo introduced Princess Victoria to his dear friend Prince Adrian of Portugal. The two began a courtship soon after, and an engagement was quickly procured as a way to ally the two kingdoms.
The kingdom also just celebrated the marriage of Princess Beatrice to one of their own countrymen, Duke Andrew of Emory. The Duke's first wife, a friend of Princess Beatrice, passed away a few years ago, and Beatrice and the Duke grew close as they both grieved. King Edmund is thrilled that at least one of his sisters will also be living in England. The new prince and princess live very close to the royal castle, and Edmund retains both of them on his court as advisers.
All the joys of the kingdom may not last long, though. King Edmund just led a successful military campaign to reclaim Normandy, land that rightfully belonged to England. He and his generals have stayed busy in the area, attempting to squelch revolts from the residents. King Louis XII of France is also displeased with England's victory, so King Edmund needs to figure out how to restore friendship between the two kingdoms.
