It probably has to do with the difference between "heir presumptive" and "heir apparent". Caitrin's position could be displaced by the birth of Roger's child, and by the time she married, Roger was already heavily involved with Angelique. So though Caitrin was the heir to the Manticoran throne, everyone knew she probably wouldn't stay that way.


My response:

According to "I Will Build My House of Steel", Roger and Angelique and Ed Henke and Caitrin Winton had a double wedding...

So I guess Roger was heavily involved with Angelique when Caitrin married Ed! :lol:

Their mother was still alive for the wedding, as I recall. Thus, Roger was heir, Caitrin was 2nd, and not effected by the rule. I don't have House of Steel to check, though.

Pretty sure RFC chimed in and said it only applies to the current primary heir.

So because Mike's parents got married before Roger took the throne (IIRC), when Roger was still heir primus, the restriction didn't apply (yet) to Lady Caitrin Winton. It only would have been a problem if she waited to get married until after Roger was crowned (and would have ceased being a problem after he had a kid to supplant her as heir)

If you're already married to a noble when you end up heir (or end up on the throne) it's not a problem - you're both still noble, nobody has to give up their title or get divorced.

Wow. Honor and Mike are about sixty-two years old.
