in reply to a message by saphirdufeu
1188
House of Wessex
H [44]: King Philip Arthur Fulk
W [37]: Queen Edith Adeliza (formerly of Northumbria)
D1 [18]: Princess Eleanor Agnes Berengaria
S1 [16]: Prince Geoffrey Fulk Edmund
-Betrothal [15]: Lady Aline Blanche Isabelle Rennes
D2 [14]: Princess Maud Alice Emma
S2 [dec]: Prince James Christian Henrik
S3 [10]: Prince Percival Julian Richard
D3 [7]: Princess Maria Frances Avelina
Looking Forward
While the children were fostered with Edith's family in Northumbria, King Philip I and Queen Edith did much to repair their marriage. However, within the year tragedy struck: King Melchior of Northumbria died at the age of 78, and Edith's brother Reginald was crowned. With him relocating to the capital with his wife, Queen Catherine, the situation with the princes and princesses changed. It was determined that, while Queen Mother Rohesia appreciated the company of the elder daughters in her grief, the younger children were a little much for the court to handle, and Prince Geoffrey should return to the land he would eventually rule. So Nell and Maud stayed in Northumbria, while Geoff, Percy, and Maria returned home.
While Philip and Edith were more or less back to their old selves, no new children joined the family. It was the next generation that they had to worry about. There were still Mercian holdouts that wished for independence. Guy of Bath gently reminded Philip that he'd told him this would happen, and Philip didn't take the reminder well. Rather surprisingly, it was Edith - the woman Philip chose instead of the Mercian (or Margaret of Bath, Comtesse Aubert) who smoothed things over between them. It was determined that it would be advantageous to ally Geoff to young Lady Aline... daughter of Gilbert Rennes, Earl Lichfield, and his wife Countess Juliana - née Courteney. The woman King Philip nearly married.
Since the death of his grandfather and the coronation of his uncle, Geoff had sobered considerably. Dragons no longer concern him. He received the news with a kind of quiet certainty atypical for his age. While Philip was gladdened at the maturity of his heir, he didn't want Geoff to forget that some dragons were real. He feared he might have forgotten that lesson himself.
Percy, meanwhile, was a little scholar. Even when he's outside, he usually had his nose buried in some tome. Philip and Edith wondered whether he had a religious calling in his future, as Edith's parents had believed of her. And as for little Maria, she was fondest of exploring and causing mischief - of the benevolent variety, of course, but she still worried her family that she could get herself into some real danger.
