The Dukes of Star Base 12

Part Two: The Duke of Star Base 12-The Successors

Lord Philip Carey is the son and heir of Lord John Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory, and he was born in 2165, shortly after the birth of Lord Frederick William Howard, Lady Jeannette Virginia and Lady Ann Devereux and Lady Elizabeth Hastings.

Lord Philip Carey wasn't like Lord Frederick William Howard. He was more laid back like Frederick Williams.

Lord Phillip Carey was handsome, well educated, but he liked the country and Bedford Territory was in the country whereas Norfolk Territory was the heart of Star Base 12 and the seat of Star Base 12.

Lord Philip Carey wasn't looking to be married until he was ready and his father and mother agreed to allow him to choose his own bride.

The annual cotillion for all the 15 year old daughters of the aristocrats wasn't set until June of each year and Lord Philip was 17 years old when he attended the cotillion of 2180 and at the time he didn't find his bride, so he waited until 2182, and he still didn't find his bride and it wasn't until 2183 that he found his bride, and it was Lady Elizabeth Neville he chose and Lady Elizabeth father was Lord John Baron Neville and he didn't care much for the title or property as his father had married Lady Elizabeth Hastings and she too was the daughter of a Baron.

Lady Elizabeth Neville was 18 and Lord Philip was 20 years old when they married in 2183 and in 2185 they had Lord William Carey and in 2190 they had Lady Philadelphia Essex Carey and they were born the same that Lady Jeanette had Lord Charles Andrew Howard and Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard, and they were good friend with both of them, and along with them was Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Spencer-Churchill.

Lady Elizabeth Alexandra Spencer-Churchill was the great-granddaughter of Lord George Spencer-Churchill through his son, Lord John Spencer-Churchill who was born in 2168 and Lord Charles Andrew Howard fell madly in love with her at first sight.

When Lord Charles Andrew Howard told his father, Lord Frederick William Howard that he found his bride and it was Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Spencer-Churchill, well Lord Frederick William looks at his son and he tells him " You chose well Lord Charles Andrew."

Lord Charles Andrew would often bring home with him Lord William Carey and Lady Philadelphia and Lord Frederick would ask " How is Lord Carey?"

"Our father is well, Lord Howard." Lord William would tell him.

I am glad to hear it. Send him my warm regards." Lord Frederick would tell him.

Lord Charles Andrew JR and Lady Sophia were the same age as Lord William and Lady Philadelphia.

Lord Frederick William was more concerned about getting his oldest son married but he kept finding reasons not to marry.

Lord Frederick William Howard II was born in 2184, and he was close to 16 years old and still with no prospects, Lord Frederick William told his oldest son, Lord Frederick William " It is now 2198 and you have until 2220, to find a bride."

"If you haven't married by 2220, I will name Lord Charles Andrew Howard my heir and successor to the Dukedom and Territory of Norfolk, as he has already found his bride." Lord Frederick William states, "This means any children that you have may not inherit the Dukedom of Norfolk."

"I have taken you to the last three cotillions and you still haven't found a bride." Lord Frederick William states.

"I am not so concerned about Lord Andrew Charles as he is only four years old and he will find his bride as Lord Charles Andrew and he will make a name for himself." Lord Frederick William states.

"I will have no doubt that Lady Sophia Charlotte will marry and by marriage receive her title." Lord Frederick William states.

Lord Philip Carey does just that and he marries Lady Elizabeth Neville and with her. They have two children, born the very same years that Lord Charles Andrew and Lady Sophia Charlotte were born.

In fact, it is through Lord Charles Andrew Howard that fosters the romance between Lord William Carey and Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard and they support the match between Lord Charles Andrew Howard and Lady Alexandra Elizabetha Spencer-Churchill.

Lord Philip, Lord John and their wives present at the wedding of Lord William Carey to Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard along with Lord Frederick William and Lady Jeanette along with Lady Philadelphia, Lord George, Lord Charles Andrew Howard in 2207 and it was the happiest occasion for all of them when Lady Sophia Charlotte married Lord William Carey and in 2209 she gave birth to Lord George Frederick Carey and 2215 she gave birth to Lady Philadelphia Wilhelmina Carey.

In 2208, Lord Charles Andrew Howard married Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Spencer-Churchill and it is the grandest celebration and everyone is invited.

11 months later, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth gives birth to Lord Patrick William Howard first male line great-grandson, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, but Lord Frederick William Howard passes away in one year later in 2210 and Lord Charles Andrew Howard and so does Lord Philip Carey and Lord William Carey both become Dukes of their Dukedoms and Territories.

Lady Elizabeth and Lady Alexandra Elizabeth both give birth to a child in 2215, Lady Elizabeth to a daughter, Lady Philadelphia, and Lady Alexandra Elizabeth to a second son, Lord Richard Edward Howard, and two more children follow, Lady Sophia Charlotte in 2217 and Lord Edwin William in 2219.

Both Lord George Frederick Carey and Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR married in 2228.

Lord George Frederick Carey married Lady Henrietta Ann Bourbon and Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR married Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart and both had their first children in 2230, Lord Robert Frederick Carey and Lord Charles Andrew Howard III.

Lady Henrietta Ann and Lady Patricia Eugenie have daughters in 2235, Lady Essex and Lady Patricia Charlene, but Lord Charles Andrew JR and Lady Patricia go on to have three more children, Lord Patrick Willliam Howard II, named for his paternal great-great-grandfather in 2240, shortly after his birth Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR become Duke of Norfolk Territory, in 2245, they have a daughter, Lady Charlotte Augusta, Lord Charles Andrew JR named her after his first love, Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck, and finally in 2250, a third son, Lord Andrew Charles arrives, and he is named after Lord Charles Andrew JR favorite uncle, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Duke of Northumberland.

Lord George Frederick Carey becomes Duke of Bedford Territory in 2245, five years before his grandson and successor, Lord Richard William Carey is born to his son, Lord Robert Frederick Carey and Lady Lettice Knolly.

Lord George Frederick Carey is alive to see the birth of his granddaughter, Lady Matilda Essex Carey be born in 2256 on Rigel Seven and both of his grandchildren come to live with him in 2260.

Lord George Frederick Carey is not alive to see any of his great-grandchildren be born as he passed away in 2270, but three months before his son, Lord Robert Frederick dies on Star Base 10 and he is succeeded by his grandson, Lord Richard William Carey.
