The Eldest Daughters of The Marchioness of Pembroke Territory Chapter Five

The Spare Heiress

The Year is 2276 it starts out with a bang and a real surprise for the Patriarch  of The Howard family on Star Base 12 with the news that all three of his daughter in laws are expecting a child along with his nephew, and great-nephew whose wives are also expecting their first child.

Lord John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk Territory should be very happy that his direct descendants are continuing his line that his great-great-great-grandfather, Lord John Howard started when he married Lady Joan of Cornwall and King John and Queen Isabella must be getting the last laugh at King Richard I of England. 

It was a well known fact the Prince John was his father's favorite child and son, and he wanted his favorite son to succeed him and only after King Richard I died, did Prince John become King England and with his second queen, Queen Isabella. They had many children,  King Henry III and Prince Richard of Cornwall and they both had children and through the son of King Henry III and the grandson of Prince Richard of Cornwall is how Lord John Howard, Duke of Norfolk become to be. 

We can't forget the noble women who gave birth to them and they were Princess Margaret of France,  Lady Margaret of Brotherton,  Lady Elizabeth Seagrave,   Lady Elizabeth Fitzalan, Lady Margaret De Mowbray,  Lady Catherine Moleyns, Lady Elizabeth Tilney, and Lady Elizabeth Howard who are the mothers of all these sons.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR loved his mother, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Spencer-Churchill and he loved his grandmother, Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort but he didn't love his father nor his great-grandfather as they had both ruined what his great-grandfather had begun in 2165.

Lord David William Beck summoned it up this way to The United Federation of Planets " This is a good year for the Howard family."  

"Who knows what wife will give birth first to my great-uncle, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR." Lord David William tells The United Federation of Planets in his log.

It is a waiting game as all my first cousins once removed are expecting a child and My wife is expecting our first child, and my great uncle's second wife is also expecting their child." Lord David William  tells Star Fleet Command.
