King Ximeno and his young wife, Queen Anabel, are the new rulers in Aragon. The king's father, former King Eduardo, passed away after a long illness. In reality, Ximeno has been ruling for about three years now due to King Eduardo's illness. He was the only heir to the throne--last of the royal house. Six weeks before his father's death, then-Prince Ximeno married Anabel of Valencia. Now, two days after his coronation, the people wait to see what kind of ruler their new king really is.

King Przemysl II of Poland has died unexpectedly, leaving his kingdom in the hands of his seventeen year old son, Prince Teofilo, as ruler. Teofilo, seeking to solidify nearby allies, requested Serafina of Valencia, Queen Anabel's younger sister, to be his new wife. Jumping at the chance, Queen Anabel's parents agreed to the match, proud to have two of their three daughters in active positions of power.

King Ximeno and Queen Anabel welcomed the first royal child born in 26 years to the kingdom this year! Princesa Sofia Liliana Soraya was born in the midst of a hot, dry summer, giving the kingdom something to celebrate.

For several months, rumors have been circulating in the capital that a group of rebels from Sardinia was planning a coup on the House of Barcelona. After diligent inquiry, King Ximeno's security forces located and arrested a group of sixty rebel soldiers. Sixteen of their leaders were killed, and the rest imprisoned for life in the dungeons.

Princesa Sofia contracted a grave illness this year and was confined to her bed for several months with fevers, weakness, and coughing. The royal physicians could do little more than ease her discomfort. She has now recovered, but still tires easily and does not have the spark of energy she possessed prior to her illness.

The year 1300 brought new hostilities to the Kingdom of Aragon. Invading forces from the Gallian north massed near the border, causing fear and unrest in the outlying cities. King Ximeno sent emissaries to the border, hoping to negotiate peace and avoid open war. When messengers arrived and informed him that talks were not going well, King Ximeno himself rode out to the border, taking nearly a month to reach a compromise that satisfied both sides.

The whole of Aragon is in mourning this year, for little Princesa Sofia, who passed away this year. Shortly after King Ximeno returned from averting war, she took to her bed again with another illness. She never fully recovered from this newest setback and passed away shortly after her fourth birthday. King Ximeno and Queen Anabel are devastated at the loss of their only child, though none but their closest advisors have seen how deep their grief truly runs.

A few months after the Princesa's death, King Ximeno and Queen Anabel were seen arguing heatedly in the palace court. Though they later presented a united front and denied the accusations of a royal feud, palace servants have noted that the King and Queen no longer sleep in the same room and avoid each other as much as possible in the palace. There is open speculation about topics of argument ranging from lack of an heir to the throne to disagreement about how to handle trade. Both King and Queen are tight lipped about their relationship or disagreements at this time.

Whatever the King and Queen were arguing about seems to have blown over, because the kingdom is celebrating the arrival of a Prince! Principe Victorino Anastasio Tacito was born just after King Ximeno's birthday. He is the spitting image of his father, and King Ximeno is elated not only to be a father again, but to have a male heir to sit on the throne. Queen Anabel has been more reserved in her excitement, and simply prays for her son to live past age four.

Queen Anabel's fears nearly came true this year, as Principe Victorino contracted a virulent illness sweeping the nation. King Ximeno and Queen Anabel were spared the sickness, but Victorino was ill for many days. He did eventually recover and appears to have suffered no long term effects of the sickness, much to Queen Anabel's relief.

Principe Victorino was very ill again this year--owing mostly to the cold, harsh winter. Many young children passed away this year from the cold and damp. Victorino, though ill for most of the winter months, began to perk up in the spring, and by summer was running around again chasing birds in the garden. Queen Anabel isn't sure how much more worry she can take for her child.

King Ximeno survived an assassination attempt this year. Though his advisors are still attempting to trace the ultimate source of the attack, they've arrested and beheaded the ones directly repsonsible. Queen Anabel and Prince Victorino were relocated to the country palace while King Ximeno remained in the city to lend assistance to the investigation (much to the chagrin of his guards).

Principe Victorino turned four this year and, though many in the kingdom were concerned that he would die like his sister, he remains the happy-go-lucky little boy that he is. King Ximeno and Queen Anabel were again the source of a great many rumors this year--when the Queen returned from their stay in the country palace, rumors began flying that she had been unfaithful to the king while she was away. King Ximeno took the news seriously and launched an investigation into the Queen's relationships while away from the main palace. He eventually ferreted out that Queen Anabel did, in fact, have a romantic relationship while at the country palace (and with a commoner, no less)! For the sake of the kingdom, he has not beheaded, imprisoned, or divorced her, yet.

Although his fourth year posed no hazards, Principe Victorino was involved in an accident this year and passed away at the age of five. The King, devastated at the loss, has pushed everyone away and his relationship with Queen Anabel has been further strained, leading some to think that King Ximeno will divorce her soon.
Well...it wasn't a particularly happy story, but I think it was fairly realistic. Thanks for hosting!
