Who Should Marry Whom Part 2

[Blackguard]

You know the drill.

[Henry Grey]

Cat would end up killing Duncan. Besides, Adam’s memory sits right between them. Those two may well be the best match that never happens, courtly love at its best.

[Douglas FitzJames]

Douglas would be very happy to have Duncan as a brother in law. But I was thinking that Cat should marry Don Carlos. Her Royal lover's looks in a younger model, and retain Royal favour. 

[Catriona MacGregor]

Don Carlos died in Tangiers. He was to be Noni's fiancee.

[Douglas FitzJames]

Hmm, who am I thinking of then? Does CR have any unwed bastards left?

[Defiance]

No boys who are old enough

[Catriona MacGregor]

Besides, that would make Nessie's brother her stepdad.  Gross.  Bad Bro!

[Douglas FitzJames]

Well there goes that idea. Might have to go with Henry after all. And you're being very inflexible sis.

I voted Chatham for Cat, only because of the "He likes blades, she likes blades" and how hard I laughed at that!

 

Buckingham threw something at B for the Arlington suggestion for Francis. No way he's gonna be related to that stick-in-the-mud.  Francis objects to marrying a 12 year old 😆.

 

Alas, La Belle is too old for someone who would need to have children, so Bucky wouldn't consider that either.

 

They both love Nicci, but marriage is at least half business transaction if not entirely a business transaction.

 

Bucky doesn't have issues with Dorothea, but Francis thinks she's too far above him, so that would require some doing to convince him she's not; he doesn't want to steal a life with some prince away from her, and he doesn't know if she even likes him that way. Silly Francis, because they are well-suited for each other.

[Henry Grey]

Francis objects to marry a 12 year old, when he looks 16?

Henry would rather not marry anyone below 20. He will, if he must, but 42 vs 16 feels a little extreme.

[Hope]

I voted write in for Cat, because I would never dare tell her who she should marry! 

 

[Catriona MacGregor]

Awww, thanks!  

[Anne-Elisabeth Devereux]

Stays out of sight so nobody will speculate on her own marriage prospects.

[Blackguard]

I figured that Anne-E, Nicci and Cordelia were not in the market for a husband.

[Nicolette Vauquelin]

Nicci already knows who she is going to marry

[Francis Kirke]

Ranalagh 🤣❤️
