HelpRe: *Grand Imperial Congrats* -- Round 2
in reply to a message by blaaarg
I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use names with royal meanings as my titles. I've been thinking on writing a story using this method especially because I love Gaelic names. Hope it's not too confusing I'll worry about the titles anyway. :)

DH (43): His Regal Majesty Ruaidhri-Mael Hugh Charles Philippe Vetaruex XII
DW: Her Regal Majesty Rioghnach (my choice bachelorette # 4)
In the early 1100's two brothers (Flaithri and Ruaidhri Ó Dúbhshláine) with their families set sail from Ireland to find a new land where they could raise their children in peace and serve God. One dark stormy night on the high seas their ship was in peril and they were rescued by a French merchant vessel (Captained by young Mael Vetaruex) but by morning the two boats had been wrecked on the rocky shores of an island. After a search of the island revealed it to be uninhabited and to have good soil for planting the Irish families decided to stay and the young sea captain, who had fallen in love with Ruaidhri's oldest daughter Rioghnoch, eventually joined the family by marrying into it. The families took to farming at first but soon were on to greater things building themselves castles and churches and Mael's brother Armel joined them on the island.
In generations to come the inhabitants named their new land Marbois and many of the place names are French such as the capital city which is names Paix (peace in French) where as the titles of the rulers are Irish Gaelic names. The first king was Mael and Rioghnoch's great grandson Hugh I who created the titles for their line using names from both families but mostly Irish names. Marbois has been mostly peaceful with few troubles within the family most of their wars have been from others attacking them but they are such a strong force that happens rarely. The year is now about 1460 and Marbois has it's 12th Ruaidhri-Mael, Hugh XII.
And here's a basic run down (I'm still deciding on titles for Lords, Ladies and other peers):
His Regal Majesty Ruaidhri-Mael = King
Her Regal Majesty Rioghnoch = Queen
His Regal Highness Flaithri = 1st son, Heir
His Regal Highness Armel = all other princes
Her Regal Highness Orlagh = 1st daughter, Royal Princess
Her Regal Highness Morag = other unmarried princesses
Her Regal Highness Gormlaith = wife of Flaithri
Her Regal Highness Armelle = wives of Armels
His Regal Majesty Vercingetorix = husband of queen, prince consort
Her Regal Honour Mhor Rioghain = mother of Ruaidhri-Mael, queen mother
