Who Should Marry Whom?  

11 members have voted

  1. 1. Who Should Henry Grey Marry?

    • His Cousin Eleanor of course
      2
    • Beverley's Sister. She's pumping out boys nearly annually. At 26, there may be another half dozen left
      7
    • Frances Cavendish. A duke's daughter is too high for a Baron ordinarily, but Seller is motivated.

  3. 3. Who Should Douglas Marry?

This season seems to be the season of potential matches.  George and Caroline seem set to celebrate their nuptials at Windsor shortly, but we have a number of PCs on the prowl for advantageous matches.

Cordelia plays a match maker (and she might even be looking for her own match) but it is our turn to play match maker.  So please vote on the following poll.

 

I will post a part two

Duncan is too heartbroken to think about marriage this season. Also, having most of his children being his is not the greatest prospect. Cat may be a mother hen, but she would kill him eventually. Bridget is for Douglass.

I think Duncan is going to wait and see, unless the King orders otherwise. Charles Rex is probably the one person he would obey in this.

Revisiting an old poll is fun, especially after events shed some light on options.

  • Henry should marryBeverley’s sister and have half a dozen children. Religion might be a point of conflict with Brooke, but that should spice things up.
  • Duncan should marry Frances Cavendish. Ducal dowries might not be enormous, but influence is good enough to someone who already has some wealth.
  • Douglas should milk Lauderdale for all he is worth and have the man get him a rich heiress.
  • Langdon has already chosen Lady Susan. May they both be happy with the choice.
  • Darlene should marry Hen and make him a happy man.
  • Chatham should marry into the powerful Butler clan… and then kill Toledo.
  • As for James O’Neil, he can wait a bit. A good opportunity will present itself.
  • Cordelia… hmm… is there a widower earl somewhere, one of appropriate age, that needs fine company?

Some other suggestions: 

Henry Grey – add Maria Gonzaga. She’s pretty, rich, and with powerful connections to the right parts of Italy.

Duncan Melville – add Frances Cavendish. There seems to be a genuine affection blossoming there, and a good friendship is a great way to start a relationship.

Douglas – add Ellen Doolittle. They seem to get along well.

Darlene – add Cesare d’Este. She could have all the diamonds she wants.

Henry-  He speaks Italian and knows about blue bloods.    That is a plus.  But, I think Maria wants a man of adventure, rather than science.  We shall see.  Beverley's sister is a good choice.

Duncan and Frances- A great match for Duncan.  Can he convince Newcastle.  The Duke has other daughters in the wings waiting their turn, which is a plus for Duncan.  Rumors that something is wrong with Frances helps him too.  He has a decent shot.

Eleanor-  Uncle Henry is an easy match.  Cesare would be a thrill.  Could she handle it?  Maria would make it happen if she impresses the cousin.  He is a Catholic though, and does not seem to have a meaningful title, so maybe he's a good match for Davina, but Eleanor should not give up so readily.  But you are right that Darlene might be interested.

Douglas-  If he wants a match with Ellen, Cedric should be delighted!  Or, does he wait for help from Lauderdale?
