My apologies for the huge delay! Again, story elements more than welcome.

Previous round: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/5347708
Dice: https://www.random.org/

5 years have passed.

1. Generate a number between 1 and 4 for every couple. If it is 1, and the relationship is an engagement, it ends - either because it is broken up or because one party dies.

If it is 1, and the relationship is a marriage, generate a number between 1 and 2. If it is 1, the marriage ends. If it is 2, one of the sides takes a paramour.

2. Generate a number between 1 and 5 for all family members under the age of 10 or over the age of 50. If it is 5, they die. I will leave the method to your discretion.

3. Generate a number between 1 and 10 for all singles aged 15 or older. If they are under 18, 6 or above is an engagement. If they are between 18 and 24, 4-7 is an engagement, and 8-10 is a marriage. If they are 25 or older, 5 or above means marriage. The ages of the spouses and betrotheds are up to you.

4. Generate a number between 1 and 3 for each engagement. If it is 1, the marriage is postponed - why? If it is 2 or 3, the couple marries. They do not need to be older than 18, but the marriage can only start producing children when the mother is.

-------------------------------------------

Generate a number between 1 and 6 for the rank of each new spouse/betrothed:

1: Baron/Baroness
2: Viscount/Viscountess
3: Count/Countess
4: Duke/Duchess
5: Prince/Princess (of another country)
6: King/Queen (of another country)

Women take their husband's rank upon marriage. Men take their wife's only if it is higher than theirs.

For foreign born spouses and betrotheds, generate another number from 1 to 3 for their nationality.

1: Kingdom of Brittany
2: Kingdom of Wales
3: Kingdom of Scotland

-------------------------------------------

Children can only be born in the confines of marriage. Their titles will be the same as their father's (unless he is king, in which case the title will be prince or princess).

For a potential mother aged 18-23: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 children.
For a potential mother aged 24-34: 1-5 is no children, 6-8 is 1 child, 9-14 is 2 children, 15-20 is 3 children.
For a potential mother aged 35-45: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 children.

-------------------------------------------

For children with English parents, refer to the first part's Namebank. For foreign spouses and their children, see name banks below. Again, middle names weren't a thing, but including them or not is up to you. If you use them, feel free to include names from both Namebanks for children with foreign parents.

Kingdom of Brittany
