DQueen: Aenor Susanna Pearl Lysandra (16)
IllegitimateSon: Oliver Charles Roche, Comte of Mallowgold (3)
DPrincess1: Byrd Aenor Carolina (nb)

In the Kingdom of: Cotswold
Round 1:
Humphrey knew from the time he was a small child that he would be King one day, and maybe soon. His mother died from the childbirth, and that was after many unsuccessful pregnancies. His father suffered a disease that left him severely weakened when he was just 2 years old. His father was partially paralyzed, and slowly lost more and more function as time went on. However, he retained his sharp mind right up until the end. Humphrey wasn't betrothed, because his father knew that he was going to have enough responsibility, and wanted to provide at least a chance at love and happiness. Just 2 months after his 18th birthday, the old King just never woke from his nights sleep. Humphrey was crowned, and his advisors urged him to seek a wife.
Humphrey, knowing that it was his duty, held a month of banquets to meet all of the eligible Ladies, Duchesses, Princesses and other nobles that his advisors wanted him to marry. Aenor came with her older sister, the Duchesses of Cerise, as a companion. However, Humphrey found Aenor's gentle wit and sparkling eyes unforgettable. He arranged to met Aenor in one of the palace gardens, and there asked her to be his wife and Queen of Cotswold. Overwhelmed, Aenor said that she would need to think on it.
However, when Aenor found her way back to her room, she also found her sister. Her sister was furious, and accused her of stealing the King from her. This put steel in Aenor's back, who knew that she didn't do any such thing. Deciding in that instant the she was fond of the King and thought that she had a good chance at happiness, she stormed out of her room and went to find the Humphrey and let him know.
The two were married at the end of summer, when all of the crops had been harvested and there was plenty for feasting. The Kingdom was overjoyed. Now they had a young, healthy King and a beautiful Queen. Cotswold was happy and peaceful...
Round 2:
The Kingdom of Cotswold is overjoyed when the young King and Queen announce that the Queen is starting her second term of a healthy pregnancy. The Royal couple spent the next 6 months happily awaiting the arrival of their new child. On the summer solstice, the Kingdom of Cotswold welcomed a Princess into the Royal family. The Queen, swearing that her daughter's cries sounded just like a little songbird, insisted on naming her daughter Byrd. King Humphrey agreed, but only if he could chose the MNs and the order. Queen Aenor agreed, knowing that the MNs would be honoring names and thinking that he would chose to honor himself and maybe his mother. However, King Humphrey chose to honor Aenor herself and then his grandmother.
The little Princess was almost 4 months old when the King had an unexpected petition for a private audience from an old acquaintance. When the Lady Isobel appeared with a 3 year old boy, the King was taken a little aback. The boy looked just like him! The Lady Isobel instantly folded herself completely onto the floor in a bow, begging the King to not get angry. King Humphrey was too taken aback to even begin to be angered. Lady Isobel explained that when Humphrey visited during her past husbands funeral, the condolences ended up producing more then expected. However, she would never have even brought the boy to court, except that she was dying. The little boy had been her joy during the last 3 years, and the thought of leaving him without anybody terrified her. She begged that he would be fostered in his court as just another child. King Humphrey agreed that at least that much would be done, and then had Lady Isobel and her child placed in a guest suite while he went to talk to his Queen.
Queen Aenor was taken aback and a little worried that this Lady Isobel was looking to position her son as heir to the throne. However, after she met with her and talked to her, she saw that it wasn't the case at all. The two women spent the winter talking and becoming close friends. The spring brought the death of Lady Isobel. Queen Aenor, feeling the loss of a newly-found friend, decided that her husband should acknowledge the young Oliver as his. Oliver will be raised as the King's son, but isn't in the direct line of succession. Only if the Queen produces no legitimate male heirs will Oliver be able to inherit the throne.
