Lord Andrew Charles Howard was the youngest son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, fourth Duke of Norfolk Territory and the youngest  grandson of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR and the youngest great-grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard and the youngest great-great-grandson of Lord Patrick William Howard through his ancestor, Lord John Howard 1st Duke of Norfolk Territory and through his mother, Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart. He was the youngest grandson of Lord James Alexander Stuart, third Duke of Lennox Territory, and the youngest great-grandson of Lord David Charles Stuart, second Duke of Lennox Territory and the youngest great-great-grandson of Lord Alexander David Stuart through King Charles II of England and his youngest son, Lord Charles Lennox, Duke of Lennox and Richmond.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior had altered the act of succession to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and territory as well to the first of his male line grandsons that would produce his first great-grandchild, and he was not a fickle man. He didn't care if his first great-grandchild was a boy or girl as long as it came through the male line. 

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR two eldest sons even though they were married failed to produce a child  between them and he started to wonder if his line would die off that began with his dear great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was considered one of the most handsome young men on Star Base 12 and with all the territories of Star Base 12 next to his first cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard II, and his second cousin, Lord Richard William Carey, and his first cousin once removed, Lord Frederick William Howard and his second cousin, Lord Thomas William Howard who were all born in 2250.

Lord Richard William Carey, Lord Thomas William Howard are third cousins,  Lord Richard Edward Howard II and Lord Andrew Charles Howard are first cousins, and Lord Frederick William Howard is Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard Edward Howard II first cousin once removed, and Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard Edward Howard II are second cousins to Lord Richard William Carey and Lord Thomas William Howard.

They all one thing in common through Lord Frederick William Howard and one of his four children, Lord Frederick William II, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard and Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

Lord Frederick William Howard is the eldest son and heir to Lord Patrick William Howard and Lady Margaret Penelope Devereux and they had two children, Lord Frederick William and Lady Elizabeth Ann Howard, 1st Marchioness of Pembroke Territory.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior is the second son and child of Lord Frederick William Howard and he is the heir to Lord Frederick William Howard and he has four children, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Lord Richard Edward Howard Senior, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard and Lord Edwin William Howard.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR has six children with two wives, Lady Patricia Eugenie and they have Lord Charles Andrew Howard III, Lady Patricia Charlene Howard, Lord Patrick William Howard II,  Lady Charlotte Augusta Howard, Lord Andrew Charles Howard and with Lady Sarah Spencer-Churchill, he had Lady Frederica Wilhelmina Howard, who is his successor to the Dukedom of York Territory.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR has no luck in procuring an heir or heiress for the Dukedom of Norfolk or The territory of Norfolk on Star Base 12, so his quest begins with calling his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard  into the drawing room of Norfolk Estate.

Lord Andrew Charles walks into his father's drawing room at Norfolk Territory and he bows to his father and mother and Lord Charles Andrew JR tells his son " You are now 24 years old, Lord Andrew Charles. I have been lenient with you up until now. " 

"I have found you a bride to marry." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells his son.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his father " What I have told you I will not marry any woman less I love her father."  Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.

"Lord Andrew Charles. Aristocrats don't marry for love. It is plus certainly. " Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"I will not marry father." Lord Andrew Charles states. "I will not be a pawn in your marriage game." 

"Look to my brothers." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.

"I have and they have failed me, and you are my last hope in keeping what my great-grandfather started in 2165." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"I didn't have the luxury of marrying the woman that I loved, and I married who my father made me married." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"Look how it turned out father.  My dear mother gave you five children." Lord Andrew Charles states, "She is the daughter of the Duke of  Lennox Territory." 

"I am telling you that I won't marry a woman that I don't love." Lord Andrew Charles states, " I won't consummate my marriage with her." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.

"You ask me to come all the way to Norfolk Estate from Balmoral  Manor to hear it." Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Beg your pardon, father. I am won't be returning to Norfolk Estate." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father and mother " Summon one of my brothers to give you your heir." Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Andrew Charles walks out of his father's drawing room and he looks at his father and he leads for his carriage and he travels back to Balmoral Manor.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR looks at his wife, " Lady Charlotte Augusta declared at his birth that he was my heir."  Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Patricia.
