Re: Aeronwy's Medieval/Royal Cogratulations ~ Round The First
in reply to a message by Aeronwy
Anthony
Baron: George Thomas FitzGilbert, 3rd Baron FitzGilbert (33)
Lady: Jane nee Greytonne (16)
Lord: Luke Francis (nb)
The FitzGilbert's recently celebrated the birth of their first son, a sickly looking child, they named Luke Francis, Luke after St. Luke who being a physician the couple hoped he would intercede for their child, and Francis after Jane's father, the late Francis, Marquis Gromwald.
George needed to find a suitable set of godparents for his child, so he settled on asking Sir John Spencer and his wife Lady Mary. George had met Sir John once at one of George's preaching events in the North. George needed to find a time to ask the Spencers and settled on the coronation banquet for the new King & Queen. While Baron FitzGilbert was not at all fond of these events, he new his wife would appreciate a chance to go to court and leave the isolation of the Northern Fells.
The FitzGilbert's arrived at the banquet and immediately heard rumours of a planned rebellion against the new King. George felt that he couldn't support such a plan as he believed the King ruled by Divine Right and only the LORD could remove him, by death no less.
Jane on the other hand, was unsure what to think of it all, since the King, Henry, had spurned her advances in her youth, and even had an affair with her older flirtatious sister Margaret, and the new Queen Morgana had once been a friend but they had a falling out upon hearing that Jane was going to marry that 'Most Ignoble of Nobles' George FitzGilbert.
George managed to talk to the Spencers, who accepted the responsibility of being Luke's godparents on the condition that George fund the building of their house, which, as George felt he had no need for his possessions freely did.
Other than the Spencers, the other gathered at the Banquet tended to ignore George and his pious ramblings, althought the Butler Andrew was taken by Jane's elven-like features and the Court Jester , The Amazing Ren, parodied one of George's famous sermons.
