Queen Lauren Marries

Marriage

Queen Lauren does political battle with the House of Lords to marry a foreigner.

In the year 69, the royal court received a visit from Sir Andrew of Stardale, a Knight of the Lance. The young queen was instantly smitten by the noble young cavalier, and declared that she would marry him. This sent the House of Lords into an uproar; none of the ancient families supported the idea of a foreigner becoming the King of Fetesca.
  But Queen Lauren could not refuse the calling of her heart and fought diligently to try and change the Lord’s minds to no avail. After months of debate, an accord was reached. Queen Lauren would be allowed to marry Sir Andrew, only after she had given birth to an heir fathered by a Fetescan consort. After which time she would be free to marry whom she chose with the understanding that none of her later children would have a place in the succession.
  Queen Lauren chose Charles of House Del Sol, a paladin of the Holy Union, as her consort. In Liftery of year 70, she gave birth to their son Kyle, and married Sir Andrew a fortnight later. Kyle was named the royal heir, and then sent to live with his father and be trained in the holy path of paladinhood.
