LN: Kaarmen-Gagliardi
DH: Taddeo Silvestro Leonardo (19)
DW: Magdalena Teresa Alexandra Edith (18)
Rank: PrincessAs daughter to the king and queen of Bial, Magdalena was given much more freedom than most girls of her time, even most princesses. Coming after a firstborn brother, Her parents were able to be simply happy at her birth and love her with no complicated feelings about needing an heir. Her parents both believed girls should be educated, especially princesses who may be needed to charm foreign dignitaries, so she was given a first-rate education, using some of the same tutors as her brother and studying all the same subjects, as well as music and dance and other womanly pursuits. She excelled in languages, especially Italian, and was sent often to the Venetian court. That was where she met Taddeo. After her first trip there at sixteen she knew that she would marry him. They were perfect for one another and were very much in love, but Magdalena did not want to marry so young, nor did her parents want her to marry until she was eighteen. There was another thing: Taddeo was not royalty, but the son of a powerful and well-known duke. He was certain that her brother, now her father had died, would never agree, but Magdalena had no doubts. She had always been her brother's "mäuslein," little mouse, his term of endearment for her. Like her parents, he would do anything for her that would make her happy. And she was right. Though Walter was hesitant about marrying her to nobility rather than royalty, her mother talked him into it after seeing how much her daughter loved Taddeo. They married a few weeks after Magdalena's eighteenth birthday, and have settled in a beautiful estate near the Bialan-Venetian border, a gift from her brother. They have settled in nicely and are happy awaiting the start of their family.
