In 1435, King Cosimo VII successfully betrothed his eldest daughter Princess Maria, then only 14, to Sir Wilhelm von Dahlsson, the grand duke of Dahl and a count of Lesser Vahrtenburg. The couple was married later that year, with the hopes that Maria would soon provide the king with his first grandson. To the disappointment of both Revelia and Dahl, Maria had great difficulty conceiving, and many questioned whether or not the marriage was legitimate in the eyes of God. The two nations heaved a sigh of relief when a child was finally born in 1437, but their joy quickly turned to malcontent once again when they learned it was a girl, subsequently named Katarina. Even her father Sir Wilhelm did not hide his bitterness over the birth of a daughter. He was only appeased when, in 1441, Maria delivered a son, Lord Conrad. Unfortunately, the pregnancy took its toll on her body and she passed away during the labor. Wilhelm arranged a grand funeral befitting of a royal princess, and the nations mourned accordingly. Less than a week later, Wilhelm staged an equally impressive ceremony for his new son’s christening.
On the other hand, Princess Isabella fared a great deal better than her older sister. In 1437 (when she was also only 14) she married her father’s cousin, Crown Prince Philippe IV of the House of Aulais, thereby making her princess of both Revelia and Verdonne and placing her directly in line to become queen of the latter. Within the first four years of her marriage, she produced three sons: Princes Philippe, Henri, and Emmanuel. (Emmanuel, however, died at the age of three after months of suffering from the measles.) The next six years saw only the arrival of three girls, Princesses Eleonore, Mathilde, and Georgine (who was stillborn). But the young princes were both healthy and robust, so Philippe was not concerned about passing on his name and looked upon his daughters with a fond and loving eye.
The only individual worried about the continuation of his bloodline was King Cosimo. Against all odds, Prince Vittorio had not died, but he nevertheless remained pale, sickly, and sullen. The citizens of Revelia had even taken to calling him Vittorio the Worm, because of both his aversion to appearing outdoors unless the sky was overcast and his ability to creep about unnoticed. After Vittorio there were only two daughters: Princesses Francesca and Viola (a third, Martina, had died young from a bout of pneumonia). All of Cosimo’s hopes lay with his firstborn son and namesake, Cosimo, who, at the age of 20, had still not taken a wife. In desperation, the king ordered his advisors to find his son a suitable woman; within weeks they came back with seven names, all daughters of nobility. Cosimo, however, requested to marry a girl of his own choosing. Glad that his son was finally taking interest in the matter, King Cosimo acquiesced.
