Loving this ladies!
So Thibault & Prosper's grandfather, King ???, had a mistress whom he loved very much named Caroline. With Caroline, he had 2 children, a son Henry, and a daughter ???. King ??? arranged a marriage for Caroline with a wealthy landowner, Duke Pierre Charles Beauxchamp, to ensure that his son & daughter would be raised as nobles even if they couldn't be given the title of prince & princess... So, King ??? is actually the grandfather of Thibault, Prosper & Maximilien, which would make Maximilien the cousin of Thibault & Prosper - a fact that they all well know and acknowledge in private... and any other family that people sign up!
As for the name of the King, perhaps one of Thibault's middle names is after his grandfather? So Benoît, Louis or Baptiste? So all the names are in there, how about King Benoît Henry Augustin Pierre?
I'm going to starting 'building' a family tree under my signup so we can keep the family straight starting with King ??? and working down...

Great! I am so looking forward to this!It will be great to see how it unfolds!
This looks great! I'm so excited! :)
The issue with Max's succession is that he would be quite far removed in blood because of his illegitimacy. King Benoit's son succeeded him and then Thibault succeeded him. Thibault's issue would be first in line, followed by his brother, Prosper. Next would like be their uncles and any nephews they have, etc.
So he probably COULD inherit in a major crisis, but there's a lot of people there. :)
I'm taking a history course on Tudor England at the moment so this is especially fun!
