Help[Games] Re: Saphirdufeu's Royal Congrats
in reply to a message by saphirdufeu
1173, House of Northumbria
DH: King Edmund of England [30]
DW: Queen Matilda of England [28]
DD: Princess Eleanor of England [10]
DD: Princess Isabella of England [8]
DD: Princess Katherine of England [7]
DS: Prince Frederick of England [4]
King Edmund was not expecting to be king. As the secondborn son of the younger brother of the king, he had been raised in the countryside, and at most, he was expected to be at most a duke. However, this would all be proven untrue. In the summer of 1158, the king, his sons, Edmund's older brother and Edmund's father would visit France. On their way back across the English Channel, there was a particularly bad storm. Everybody on the ship drowned. The 15-year-old Edmund was now first in line for the throne.
A few months later, Edmund was crowned King of England. Edmund was an introverted boy, which made him not suited for being king, according to many people. Despite these doubts, the first few years of Edmund's reign was peaceful.
As Edmund became of age, it was clear that he was in need of a wife. Many options were presented, but in the end, Edmund would marry Matilda. She was near his age, and was the daughter of a powerful duke, helping Edmund gain support among the court. The two would have a child, a girl who was named Eleanor after her grandmother. Edmund was delighted, but that delight would turn into disappointment when Matilda would give him two more girls. Edmund needed an heir, and he would eventually be given one in Prince Frederick.
