Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Duke of Lancaster Territory

Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Duke of Lancaster of Territory

If there was ever a song that would describe Lord Anthony Christopher Howard better, it was "Close to You." by The Carpenter's.

Lord Anthony Christopher Howard was the eldest son and third child of Lord Andrew Charles Howard and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard nee Lowell.

Lord Anthony Christopher Howard was born on June 21, (Litha) in the Pagan Year of 2280 and he was born at Beltane Manor.

The Dukedom of Lancaster had fallen into abyss in 2240 when the last of the Beaufort's failed to produce a son, so they last male Beaufort had to trace their lineage back and it was to Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort and it fall upon her great-great-grandson, Lord Anthony Christopher Howard who was the great-grandson of Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior through his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, fifth Duke of Norfolk Territory.

Now, many times in history when the sons ran out of sons, they had to revert back to the Matrilineal line and get a son from one of the daughters and in this what happened to the Dukedom of Lancaster Territory.

Lady Jeanette Virginia was the daughter of the First Duke of Lancaster, Lord Edmund Beaufort and she had four children with Lord Frederick William Howard and her first was disinherited and so was her daughter by virtue of her sex and so it falls upon her second son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR's descendants and he had three grandsons and only one had a son, it was Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

Lord Edmund Beaufort had a son, Lord Charles Beaufort and he had a son, Lord Thomas Beaufort but he left no issue at all, so they had to revert back to Lord Charles great-great-aunt, Lady Jeanette Virginia's children and next in line was her great-great-grandson, Lord Anthony Christopher Howard.

Lord Anthony Christopher Howard was the most handsome man with blonde hair, blue eyes and he was athletic, he could sing, dance, he loved horse-back riding, and he was very educated.

However, he wasn't destined to become Duke of Norfolk Territory as Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior wasn't a finicky man when he stated that the first of his grandsons that gave him his first grandchild would inherit the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory.

History tells us that women can govern just as well as damn men just look at Kosem, Sultana of The Ottoman Empire, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Queen Victoria of England, Empress Catherine I and II of Russia and Empress Elizabeth of Austria.

Look at history and it was Lady Margaret Mowbray' son, Lord John Howard that became the 1st Duke of Norfolk and she was the eldest daughter of Lord Thomas de Mowbray, the first Duke of Norfolk with the Mowbray name.

The Mowbray's had no male descendants, so they had to revert back to the first Duke's daughter, and he was given the Dukedom of Norfolk in 1483.

Such was the case of Lord Edmund Beaufort and they reverted back to his daughter's great-great-grandson, Lord Anthony Christopher as her great-grandson was Duke of Norfolk Territory.

One the day that Lord Anthony Christopher Howard was born at Beltane Manor, the bells were ordered to ring, and the sound of trumpets hailed his birth, and he was created Duke of Lancaster Territory upon his birth.

Lord Anthony was raised with his two older sisters, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain who adored him.

Lord Andrew Charles had to wait five years and after two daughters he finally got a son, but Lady Karissa reminded him "Bluff King Henry. I am not the one the determines the sex of our unborn child."
