Even though he doesn't know it yet, on February 18th, at 79 years of age, William will rest eternally at his late wife's side. On October 18th, when he is 26, they will be married in a small, peculiar ceremony among family, On June 8th, at 32 years, he and his wife will have their second child, and in just a few minutes, at the age of 23, he will meet his wife, to-be, at this coffee shop after accidentally spilling coffee on her.

Normally my duties aren't so direct, and usually I would welcome a chance to be more involved, but honestly, this time I'm a little jealous. I'm here to join two lives, while I'm bound to alienation from connection.

The King was exercising his rights as overlord to safeguard his kingdom. King Henry didn’t do this completely without any benefit to himself, he did take two fortresses.
