Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard, Duchess of Wessex Territory

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard announces on May 1, 2295 after the birth of Lord Richard Edward Howard III and her first born child and daughter, Lady Karissa Ann Howard that she is turning down the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and she is passing it onto her sister, Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard and Lord David William Beck II. 

Lady Elizabeth explains to her grandfather, father, and mother,   " I saw how it ruin my mother's marriage to my father, grandfather. Father had this damn territory stuck up his rear-end and our father neglected our mother and all of his children."  

Lord Charles Andrew JR explains " Lady Elizabeth. I am afraid that is your grandmother's fault." 

"She never took time to visit the nursery when she had our children and by the time your father was born she already had one child married, and your father was our youngest child." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"I am sorry grandfather. This territory doesn't mean that much that much to me." Lady Elizabeth explains.

"I have a husband, a child to take care of  and they mean more than Norfolk Territory." Lady Elizabeth explains, " Lord Richard Edward III and I married for love and we will govern Wessex Territory." 

"Grandfather. My mother gave you a spare heiress." Lady Elizabeth explains, "I wont' speak for my sister and brother-in-law." 

Lady Elizabeth looks at her father " This is your fault for neglecting my brothers and sisters and my mother." Lady Elizabeth tells him

"I hope this territory brings you comfort, father." Lady Elizabeth tells him.

Lord Richard Edward III explains, " Granduncle, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR. Lady Elizabeth and I didn't marry for you or anyone. We married for love just like my father and grandfather." 

"I always admired your grandfather, Lord Richard Edward Howard III. He followed his heart." Lord Charles Andrew JR states, " I didn't have that option." 

"Lord Andrew Charles did as the youngest son and he still blew it." Lord Charles Andrew JR explains.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his father " I gave you six grandchildren. You put the pressure on me because of my two older brothers failing to have any children after how many years of marriage?" Lord Andrew Charles states.

"Lord Charles Andrew III was married in 2251 and Lord Patrick William Howard III in 2257." Lord Andrew Charles asks, " I was only six months old when Lord Charles Andrew III was married and I wasn't quite seven years old when Lord Patrick William Howard III was married." 

"You had a two daughters, Lady Patricia and Lady Charlotte Augusta who had a son." Lord Andrew Charles tells him.

"I know father. Your damn father wanted a male line great-grandchild." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"What was wrong with a female line great-grandchild, and what about Lord David William Beck." Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Isn't Lord David Beck, my grandfather's great-grandson? " Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Lord Edwin William Howard was my uncle, and he was your brother and Lord David William Beck is his grandson." Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Lord David William Beck is my grandnephew as is Lord Richard Edward Howard III as they are my brother's grandchildren." Lord Charles Andrew JR explains.

Lady Elizabeth looks at her mother and Lady Karissa tells her "It is your decision and I will stand behind Lord Richard Edward Howard III and you." 

Lady Elizabeth looks at her grandfather and father and she tells him " My daughter will only be heiress apparent until Lady Samhain has a child." 

Lady Elizabeth takes Lady Karissa Ann and Lord Richard Edward III follows her and they head back to Wessex Territory.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR asks Lord Andrew Charles to summon Lady Samhain and Lord David William Beck II to Beltane Manor.
