Re: LaRe's Royal Congrats: Round 1
Monarch: Beatrice Antonia Estelle
Consort: Tarquin Alexius TenleySon?: Edmund Taggart Of the illustrious Royal House of: Lyon
In the Kingdom of: YbernThe claims that Beatrice had mothered a child came from the fact she'd been largely away from the public eye for a lengthy period - long enough for the rumor to be true. She had not been the first heir to the throne when she was younger, but a period of war had brought her to the top of the royal line. Though the rumors gained life, Tarquin strongly insisted she had been a maid when they wed. Perhaps his gracious dealing with the issue came from the fact that he would have thought if an illegitimate child showed up, it would have his. Some of the queen's advisers encourage her to come down harshly on the pretender, but others argued it would give legitimacy to the claim by acknowledging it in such a way. Beatrice decided for compassion, allowing the child to be fostered in the palace by a member of court.
