>>5471791Accurate. Prince did get a hell of an OP boost from that soul cookie though.
>>5471957If it assists, the Creedos Catechism exists to this day. Emile and most Romani knights would at least have heard of them, given their raison d'être.
I really want to delve into more concerning the Order of Chains, but that's a lorebomb and a half.
>>5473390I will go back and double check anon, thanks for raising this.
>>5473582Thanks my man, I appreciate it.
>>5474619There is a bit here, so I will break it down.
>When a King in Canton has multiple adult sons, do all of them marry a girl from the Church?In short, no. The heir must always marry the nominated successor to the appointed Mater Reginae, which is a selection from the appropriately aged and noble born nuns put forward by each Abbess. We won't get into the complexity of that system right now, but suffice to say there is a bit of input from both the Church and the Aristocracy as to who the Mater Reginate successor is.
The other sons and daughters of the king are used to cement political marriages, typically outside of the Church and akin to how these alliances with other Duchies/fiefs worked in medieval times.
>Suppose a king has 3 sons and the first two marry church girls and the third a noble girl not in the church. If the first 2 sons die without issue, and the 3rd becomes king, is his wife retroactively declared a nun and anointed Mater Reginae? Or is his marriage annulled and now he has to marry someone else put forward by the church?Not necessarily. If the heir dies without issue, the successor Mater Reginae is typically remarried to the next heir. BUT if this next heir is already married, or also dies without issue and so on, the Mater Reginae can in fact remain entirely separate from the Royal line. She remains the head of the Church, and continues to do so until her death or the nomination of her successor and pairing with an eligible Royal heir.
In any case, no married noblewoman ‘retroactively’ gets anointed Mater Reginae. I could see something like that being attempted as a political necessity with pre-existing alliances, but the Church would never stand for such an erosion of their powerbase. Some of the most scathing internal conflicts have been a result of the separation of the Queendoms between secular and faith, as have some of the bizarrely mismatched marriages in age difference where no reasonable hope of begetting children could be expected. The latter though can also be a case of the current Mater Reginae not wishing to step aside for the new nominee.
