I'd read the first draft of that novel!

Ramifications of a marriage between someone in The Keys with someone in the House Of Lords!

Steadholder Honor Harrington is too special a case to show any ramifications. as would Steadholder Whocares and Duchess Anybody ;)

I'd just like to know whether RFC will finish the Honorverse and Bahzelverse series before I die. I've probably only got a maximum of 30 years left - unless prolong becomes real and works on the over-70s. I may have to tell the Grim Reaper to 'go away, I'm busy reading'.
Cheers

She became a sergeant in the Peoples marines, and was one of the soldiers who was with Tom when he stormed St Just's office.

He never knew that, of course...but she did.

It is going to take a while for any of the Steadholders daughters to inherit a Steadhold. At the very least there would need to be a Steadhold with no male heir in the succession since the laws changed on Grayson that would permit a daughter to become Steadholder. Possibly 50 years or more.

I suspect that's more than David has.

Why would it take so long for such a marriage? There are plenty of female members of the House of Lords.

And in any case, as someone else has pointed out, Steadholder Harrington is married to Earl White Haven.
