Rank: Prince and Princess, brother and sister-in-law to the King
The years have worn by, and though they have gone through struggles, Joseph and Maria Elisabeth have weathered the storm. The war between France and Orlais came to a head when the French king died and it was revealed that Adelaide and Charles had been the true force behind the war. Maria Elisabeth admitted to having her suspicions about her sister-in-law's involvement toward the end of the king's life. Relations between Adelaide and Joseph were rough for a time after the war, with Adelaide fuming that Joseph had gone behind her back to Orlais, even though she knew very well he had only done so on Walter's orders.
The focus of the family shifted from Joseph and Adelaide's feud back to Walter when Hedwig died giving birth to a little princess. Maria Elisabeth had been pregnant at the time as well, but lost the baby shortly after the queen's death, whether out of grief or illness was unknown. Maria Elisabeth and Joseph became pregnant once more in the year after Hedwig's death, but when this baby was lost as well, the couple knew that God had gifted them all the children they were going to have. Though saddened by the loss of two babes, and of their sister-in-law, Joseph and Maria Elisabeth are very happy with their family and with each other, and settled in to focus on the upbringing of their children and wait for grandchildren.
In the meanwhile, Arthur continued to grow into a handsome and cultured young man. He was the focal point of the young people at Court, much as his father had been in his youth. He looks much like his father, but with his mother's lighter hair. He is a strong, fine, and well-mannered young man who rides well and smiles often. There are many pretty young ladies at Court who worked hard to gain the attentions of the young prince, but Arthur has only ever had eyes for Valeria. Their budding romance was well known throughout the Court, and try though the gossips may, Arthur was so proper in his conduct and the couple so temperate in their romance, that no one could stir up any rumors about a scandal between the two young people. When Val's mother became Walter's wife four years ago, Arthur was overjoyed to see the stigma lifted from his beloved's family. In the years that followed, Arthur and Valeria decided they would marry. The young couple is very much in love and his wedding day was the happiest day of Arthur's life. The couple settled in to married life very well and a year ago they welcomed their first child, a boy named Josef, after the grandfather he looks so much like. Joseph and Maria Elisabeth are deeply proud of their son and very happy that he has found love.
The Princess Elisabeth has also grown into quite the young lady. She spent much of the war in France under the care of her aunt Queen Adelaide and flourished in the French Court. She already spoke very pretty French which endeared her highly to the Court and even to loutish King Louis. After the war, Elisabeth returned to Bial, but visited her aunt very frequently. Elisabeth was instrumental in repairing the relationship between her father and her aunt, and the two siblings have stopped butting heads with each other. She became quite the socialite in France, and drew close to her cousin Lutz, the Dauphin. The two young people became good friends, and when the time drew near for Lutz to ascend his father's throne, he came under a good deal of pressure to marry. He chose his cousin, Princess Elisabeth, as his bride and two married mere months before their joint coronation. The couple have no illusions of any great romance between them, and chose to marry each other because they are friends and know that they will be able to stand each other as they perform their royal duties. Joseph was a little taken aback, as he had never really been fond of his nephew the Dauphin, but he knew the match was both politically smart and what Elisabeth wanted. Elisabeth, who no one had any really large aspirations for, is suddenly the young Queen of France. She greatly enjoys the jewels and the pomp and is popular among the people, who already regarded her as somewhat of a French princess. Even whispers about the king's wanderings outside their bedchamber do not bother Elisabeth, who knows her role and her duties, and is glad both to be Queen and to be married to a friend.

I think they probably love each other.. although the Howards are titled, they aren't really important enough for a match to be political. A love match seems most likely.

They are yes Williams mother was brought up in the French Royal Court with the old king Louis and Prince Charles..she is suspected of being the illegitimate daughter of King Louis (the elder). William has a large family estate which his parents still reside in. I'm sure they would be welcomed in either country.
