HOUSE OF MERCIA
King Hugh III of Mercia (40)
Queen Adelaide of Mercia (nee Valois) (dec at 35)
Crown Prince Hugh of Mercia (18)
-Crown Princess Annora of Mercia (born Viscountess Annora of Trent) (20)
Princess Rohesia of Mercia (15)
-Fiance: Duke Eustace of Northumbria (25)
Princess Amice of Mercia (13)
Princess Idony of Mercia (8)
Prince Walter of Mercia (4)
Princess Cyneburg of Mercia (dec at 2)
Princess Adelaide of Mercia (nb)
Queen Juliet of Mercia (born Princess Giulietta of Venice) (24)
Dowager Queen Cateline of Mercia (70)
For the most part, the past five years have been prosperous for Mercia--and the royal family, with Prince Walter and Princess Cyneburg born. The family was happy to celebrate Crown Prince Hugh's marriage to Viscountess Annora of Trent, a young noblewoman whose father is a major merchant. Princess Rohesia was also engaged to Duke Eustace of Northumbria, a powerful nobleman. This happiness was shattered when Queen Adelaide tragically died in childbirth this year with her and Hugh's last child, who was named Adelaide in her honor. Young Princess Cyneburg, missing her mother, fell sick and died of plague, with rumors suggesting that she died of grief. Hugh was devastated, but he knew he would be expected to remarry to give his children a mother and create diplomatic ties, especially with both his children marrying within Mercia. To secure Mecia's relationship with fellow major trading power Venice, he married the Venetian princess Giulietta, who took the name Juliet in Mercia. Crown Prince Hugh and Princess Rohesia were wary of their new stepmother.
