Personal history
Prince Magnus met his would be queen during childhood. The daughter of Lord Breakspear, Marjorie. He would often tease Marjorie and his sister Hilda and she found him to be irritating and immature. However after she left at age 12 to serve Lady Bane, she did not see him for four years. After meeting again in 1098 ABA at the betrothal celebration of Princess Hilda and Wayland Bosvell, Marjorie—despite never being fond of the prince—fell in love with Magnus, who was already betrothed to be wed, and they began to exchange letters. In 1099 ABA Magnus called off his engagement and announced he would be marrying Marjorie.
The engagement attracted some controversy. King Regulus had not given his leave for Magnus to call off the engagement, and her brother Merion had brought disgrace on the Breakspears who had married the daughter of an Iphite merchant who had later given him a bastard. King Regulus’ Royal Seneschal wrote, "Some of the King's advisors did not think her good enough for him. Yes she was a lady of a well respected house, but the family had fallen in disgrace and the family of the former bride to be were a powerful family. Bards played long and loud tunes on the string of Marjorie’s failing family and how she would be responsible for a civil war should they marry."
Before the marriage, Magnus attempted to renounced his titles, officially passing them to his brother and thus relieving him of his responsibilities, however this was rejected by King Regulus and the royal council who felt that the situation could be remedied. Shortly before the wedding, Magnus travelled to the scorned family and begged for their forgiveness. This was granted, with none of the parties involved wanting this situation to descent into civil war. Magnus and Marjorie were married in the winter of 1100 ABA at Montheus Cathedral
Reign
King Regulus’ health declined during 1102, and Magnus frequently stood in for him at public events. When Magnus visited Oskuwa in the spring of 1105 his private seneschal, carried a draft accession declaration in case the King died while he was gone. In early 1105, Regulus and Marjorie set out for a string of royal visits of Onderfel and Undrus by way of the Silent Isles. Their tour would end with a month stay at Magnus’ grandmother’s castle, Queen Alisabeth Ostragar. A week into their stay, they had just returned to capital of Ivergard, Albion, after a night spent hunting in Ivergard’s vast wilds when word arrived of the death of Magnus’ father. Marjorie broke the news to the new King. He was proclaimed king throughout the kingdom and the royal party hastily returned to the Kingdom of Enther, accompanied by his grandmother, Queen Alisabeth and her royal retinue.
