The Duke of Lancaster Territory
Every man longs for a son to carry on his surname and Lord Andrew Charles Howard was no different and when the news came to him on November day in 2279, that he was going to be blessed with a son finally after having two daughters.
Lord Andrew Charles was besides himself with joy but he was tired of the same old recycled names that his family had been using and Lady Karissa and him looked through the names for baby boys and they settled on the names Lord Anthony Christopher for their son.
No one in his family had ever used Anthony or Christopher and it seemed like the perfect choice for his firstborn son and third child.
Lord Andrew Charles got tired of Robert, John, Thomas, Philip, Frederick and William, but only his father had used the name of Patrick."
"Doesn't my family ever get tired of using the same old stable names?" Lord Andrew Charles asks Lady Karissa.
"How do I know? They are your family not mine." Lady Karissa tells him.
"I have a dozen names in my head." Lady Karissa states "and they are not William, Frederick, Charles, Andrew, Philip, John or Robert."
"I like names like Edward, Albert, Richard, Ambrose, and others." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"For girls I have Sophia, Dorothea, Caroline, Matilda, and how about Emily, Alexandra, Jeanette, Dorothy,and Lettice." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
In fact, later on Lady Karissa names Lord Richard William Carey and her first child together, Lady Caroline Matilda who is born on June 17, 2282.
Lord Andrew Charles Howard is a proud, young man in 2279, at the age of 29 years old and before he turns 30 years old he will have a son, and two beautiful daughters and a beautiful wife.
He is the only son of Star Base 12 to become Duke of Norfolk Territory who is the youngest son of the presiding Duke of Norfolk Territory to replace his two older brothers because they didn't have a child to make their grandfather happy.
The little boy won't become Duke of Norfolk Territory as Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior was a finicky man as long as he got a great-grandchild through one of his grandsons from his oldest son.
The little boy would receive the title and Dukedom of Lancaster Territory that fell into abyss when his paternal great-great-grandmother's brother's great-grandson didn't have any children and so the title was passed onto her eldest great-great-great-grandson, Lord Anthony Christopher Howard.
Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort was bound and determined that Lord Frederick William Howard Senior would get his dirty hands on her territory, but she never thought that her brother's great-grandson wouldn't have children to secure the Dukedom of Lancaster, but when he didn't marry and he didn't have any children.
Star-Fleet searched for the nearest kin to her; it was Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR whose youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard was Duke of Norfolk Territory and the title passed onto Lord Andrew Charles who would convey the title upon his firstborn son.
Lord Anthony Christopher Howard arrived on Litha (Summer Solstice of 2280) out at Beltane Manor in the territory of Bedford Territory at 5 PM in the afternoon.
Lord David William Beck delivered the Duke of Lancaster Territory and from Valhalla, Lord Frederick William laughed "We got out a hold of Lancaster Territory my son, Lord Charles Andrew Senior. I knew that you wouldn't let me down."
Lord Anthony Christopher to say the least was the most beautiful baby born to Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa.
Lord Anthony Christopher Howard was born with a crop of golden blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin and Lady Karissa sums up her son with this song " Close to You" written by Songwriters: Burt Bacharach / Hal David and song by The Carpenters.
"Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you".
But, as Lord Anthony Christopher Howard grew. The other boys called him a "sissy" and other cruel names that only damn bullies would call other children and when Lord Charles Andrew Howard III heard he taught his nephew how to fight back not with words because they are cheap but he taught him to fight with his fists and the next time the same little boys called him those names.
They were in for a big surprise because Lord Anthony decked them all good and they all fell on their rear-ends and they couldn't believe that Lord Anthony Christopher threw a good left hook.
From the distance, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III is watching and as he walks over to the little boys he tells them "You tell your damn fathers. If they want to see me I will be glad to take them down and tell them they don't know how to raise their damn sons."
Lord Anthony Christopher Howard earns the respect of his peers and he is never bullied again.
Lord Anthony Christopher Howard is expected to carry on the Howard surname and he does with two sons, Lord Alexander Andrew Howard and Lord Andrew Charles Howard II and a daughter, Lady Isabella Karissa Howard with his wife, Lady Alexandrina Charlene Stuart, the daughter of his second cousin twice removed, as she is his second cousin.
Lord Alexander Andrew Howard inherits The Dukedom of Lennox Territory from his mother, Lord Andrew Charles Howard II inherits the Dukedom of Lancaster Territory and Lady Isabella Karissa inherits the Marquess of Pembroke Territory from her paternal grandmother.
