117 Years Later

112 Years later

It is 112 years later after Lord Patrick William Howard and his entourage settled on Star Base 12 to flee from Pre-World War III Planet Earth Europe.

Lord Patrick William Howard’s great-grandson, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior is Duke of Norfolk Territory. 

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR is the eldest child and son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Churchill and Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior is the second son and third child of Lord Frederick William Howard and Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR was born in January of 2209, and he was welcomed  by his father and mother who would go on to have three more children, Lord Richard Edward was born in 2215, followed by Lady Sophia Charlotte in 2220 and Lord Edwin William Howard in 2225.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard marries Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart, the only daughter of Lord Matthew Stuart, Duke of Lennox Territory in 2228 and 18 months later she gives birth to the first of their five children, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III, Lady Patricia Charlene Howard in 2235, Lord Patrick William Howard II, he is named after his paternal great-great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard, and it is angers Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and he tells his son, “ Why didn’t you name him after my father?” 

“Listen here old man. Lord Patrick William II is my son. I will name him after my great-grandfather because without him you wouldn’t be here and neither would my grandfather.” Lord Charles Andrew Jr tells his father.

“Did your father tell you what to name your sons?” Lord Charles Andrew JR asks his father “naturally Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior couldn’t answer his son’s question;

After Lord Partick William Howard II is born Lady Patricia has a second daughter, Lady Charlotte Augusta in 2245 and she is followed by the last child, Lord Andrew Charles named after Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR’s favorite uncle, Lord Andrew Charles Howard who marries Lady Elizabeth Percy, the heiress of The Dukedom of Northumberland Territory.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was born in 2250 in December on the second day of Yuletide. 

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR started to arrange his children’s marriages starting in 2249, with Lord Charles Andrew III, followed by Lady Patricia Charlene in 2253, followed by Lord Patrick William II in 2258, and finally Lady Charlotte Augusta in 2260.

 Lord Andrew Charles Howard is 13 years old when he sees his favorite sister marry in 2263 and he is alone by himself and he is very much alone but he is favorite with the ladies on Star Base 12 and within his father’s Dukedom.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard is good looking, well educated, he is the great-great-grandson of Lord Patrick William Howard, but he is the third son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and he doesn’t expect to ascend to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory, but Lady Charlotte Augusta at the age 5 predicates that Lord Andrew Charles will succeed his father to The Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and Lord Charles Andrew JR asks his wife, “Could this child be right?”

“You know what they say out of the mouth of babes comes the truth and she is your favorite child.” Lady Patricia tells her husband.

Lord Charles Andrew JR starts to arrange his children’s marriages starting with Lord Charles Andrew III in 2249, followed by Lady Patricia Charlene in 2251, followed by Lord Patrick William II in 2255, and followed by Lady Charlotte Augusta in 2261 and the only one left is 13 year old, Lord Andrew Charles.

Lord Andrew Charles is 13 years old when Lady Charlotte Augusta is married and he is all by himself and only his father takes an interest in  his youngest son.

Lord Andrew Charles has several cousins living on Star Base 12 within other territories on Star Base 12 but he doesn’t get along with Lord Thomas William Howard, Lord Richard William Carey who are his second cousins but he does get along with his first cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard II.

The time goes by and finally in 2268, at the age of 18 years Lord Andrew Charles is ready for marriage and Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR summons his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles and he tells him “ I have found you a suitable match.” 

Lord Andrew Charles tells his father “ I will not marry a woman that I don't love and I will not consummate  my marriage.” 

“Love will come later, Lord Andrew Charles. We don’t marry for love as aristocrats, we marry for other reasons.” Lord Charles Andrew explains.

“I am sorry father, but I won’t marry the woman.” Lord Andrew Charles tells him.

“My dear son, Lord Andrew Charles.  I depend on you to give me my first grandchild as I can’t expect either of your older brothers to do it.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“Listen father. I am not responsible for my brother’s failing marriages and lack of children.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Tell your sons to start to copulate with their wives.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his father “ Do they expect the stork to bring them a baby and drop it down the chimney.?”

“I promise I will give my grandfather his first great-grandchild and since he has no sexual preference it makes it is easier.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his father and with that child he will become the next Duke of Norfolk Territory, but where is the lady who will give him his first child. She is nowhere to be found on Star Base 12 or within any of the territories.

Lord Andrew Charles has no interest in any of the young aristocratic women on Star Base 12 and he doesn’t want to marry an aristocrat.

So, for the next seven years he remains single.
