Eleanor Of Vandeli
7
2👑Royal x Peasant👑
The year is 1551. This is Eleanor of Vandelia, she is the youngest child of 4, and she is a princess of Vandelia, a weak country located besides Scotland on the isle of Britannia that DESPERATELY needs alliances. All of Eleanor's siblings have been married off to royals of powerful countries and Vandelia is looking for an alliance with England, a country that isn't very powerful, but is the most powerful country that Vandelia hasn't yet allied itself with. The plan is to marry the 15 year old Eleanor to the 14 year old king Edward VI, son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. It seems perfect. England will gain a handsome Queen and fine dowry, and Vandelia gains another alliance to protect their country from invasions. Yet in England there's a problem. The Lady Mary has been defying the king whilst the king seems to currently be ruled by his Lord Advisor/protecter, Thomas Seymour. Rebellions sprout so Vandelia holds back and claims they won't send their princess to such a country until all threats to the throne have been cleared.
It's been 3 years... It's now 1554
King Edward has passed, Lady Jane Grey and her husband have both been executed for treason and as usurpers, and the Lady Mary is on the throne as Queen Mary I. Vandelia is a strictly protestant country, but with Mary on the English throne there's no suitable match for Eleanor especially as England has been turned violently Catholic, and is now but a feeble pawn in the clutches of Catholic Rome... The plans for marriage are withheld, the alliance seems a lost cause...
Eleanor is now 18, past marriage age for 16th century standards, and Vandelia and her parents: King Robert II and Queen Illinois are scrambling and racing against time to find a good match for Eleanor, and for an alliance.
