The King is dead! Long live the Queen!
As everyone knows, the late King Frederick V had seven sisters (six of them elder than he, one younger) and no brothers. His eldest sister was barren before she died; the next two were never married (both were pretty enough, but the second eldest was fond of whiskey and games of chance, while the third eldest was blessed with a rather obnoxious laugh); the fourth eldest died of an illness shortly after she’d been married; the fifth died giving birth to a stillborn child; the sixth drowned in one of the many lakes of Dunlin; King Frederick and his wife, Queen Sophia, were unable to produce any offspring that lived longer than three years.
The throne was therefore inherited by the seventh princess’ only child, who, since her mother had married a foreign lord, had been brought up far away from Dunlin. The new Queen isn’t a stranger to Dunlin, but it certainly isn’t home.
Queen Catherine’s advisors immediately informed her that, as she’s so young and has lived in a foreign land for her entire life, the Dunlish people are unsure about her. They told her that it might do her some good to marry a local lord. In fact, her advisors had two or three in mind, already. Queen Catherine chose from this selection, picking a young man of gentle manner and easy smile, the Duke of Thornhall.
All parties agreed that the Queen taking her husband’s surname was not-quite-proper, since she was the one who had inherited the throne, not he; but, neither was the Duke taking his wife’s surname a proper thing to do. So, a compromise was struck between the two. The Duke suggested taking the surname Newbourne, as Queen Catherine’s mother had been named the Duchess of Newbourne when she’d been born. Queen Catherine agreed and, after a suitable period of mourning, Queen Catherine I and Prince Consort Christopher were married.
