The good stuff. Political marriages, treaties, wars, etc
The Reign of King Lucius Caeles the second, which began with his fathers abdication. He was 30 years old.
As part of the treaty between the two countries, Prince Regulas was married to Princess Tashi
Regulas' first born. A daughter with incredible gifts, but the kind that made her grip on sanity tenuous at best.
At age three she is locked away to keep her safe from other and from herself. The public believe she has died.
Princess Tashi dies one night from poison. The public believe she has died in childbirth. Regulas remarries that year to an upper class woman named Claudia.
The end of his reign, he abdication to his oldest son Regulas five years after the birth of his oldest living son.
Evidence is brought against the crown prince (age 24) showing that he was planning to assassinate his Father to take the crown. He is banished in the first degree. He retains his title as a Prince and rights as a citizen but is not allowed to set foot in the capital or associate with members of the royal family. He is believed dead as no one has seen the prince since the day he was banished.
Prince Lynus (age 22) marries Marcella, an upper class Inborn who was betrothed to Gallus. Lynus has unfortunate luck with his children. They are often born with deformities and are killed on sight or die within days. Rumour has it that the Prince takes commoners to bed in hopes of siring an heir.
King Regulus dies and Lynus Cealas becomes king at age 34. Rumour has it that he killed his father because the former King was about to revoke the banishment on Gallus and put out a call for his return, since Lynus could not father a son.
Princess Aelia is born shortly after the old king dies. She is healthy and strong and it is considered a good sign from the gods. Rumour has it, however, that Queen Marcella is not her mother. A commoner who frequently had relations with the King was killed and it is speculated that the child was adopted by the King and Queen because of the child's health. King Lynus continues to have relations with commoner women but to date, none have borne him a son.
Queen Marcella dies in childbirth. Lynus remarries that year to another upper-class woman named Cassia. She bears him 3 daughters.
Princess Aelia married to an upper-class gentleman named Valens.
