Farewell Emperor Cameron! Long Live Emperor Leonel!

Emperor Cameron Celsus the first of his name has died of an exhaustive illness.

He is survived by his wife (Empress Deja), his children (Grand Duchess Sophia Vatinius, Emperor Leonel Celsus, Princess Avril Celsus, & Prince Franco Celsus) and his grandchildren (Duchess Panthea, Duke Palaemon, Prince Leander, and Princess Lexine)

Dowager Duchess Lepida Tertia Aelius dies quietly of advanced age.

She is survived by 6 daughters and many grandchildren.

The Porphyrius household has become unstable after the death of patriarch Olus Porphyrius.

Younger son Eucio has attacked and killed his youngest brother, Timo.

Timo (son of Livinia) is actually Eucio's nephew raised as a brother.

As retribution, the youngest Porphyrius daughter (Claudia) attacks and kills Eucio.

The family is down 3 children (Livinia, Eucio, and Timo) and left with 4 (Melani, Fabian, Romina, and Claudia).

The Eulogius family welcomes a new set of twins.

A twin himself, Dimitri is now the father of Dia & Dimitur.

After meeting his eldest son's new heir, Mamercus Eulogius, happily exits life. 

He is survived by all five of his children (Mariam Junius, Mariana Eulogius, Dimtri, Dion, and Abulus)

SLAVE EXECUTION

I believe this is Hilaria Manlius.

A wife of Martin and mother of three.

The new young Emperor in an attempt at solidifying his new policy on plural wives, attempted a marriage with his wife's youngest sister.

Duchess Talitha Aelius leaves him at the altar.

Emperor Leonel is none too pleased.

Princess Lexine (toddler) was present.

Just after her husband's failed wedding, Empress Daphne delivers their 2nd son, Prince Lycaon.

Emperor Leonel again attempts a marriage with another Aelius daughter. 

 Duchess Alyssa also leaves the Emperor fuming.

A Royal Wedding.

Princess Avril marries Grand Duke Stephanos Quirinios.

Duchess Alyssa is taken suddenly by the flu.  She is noticeably pregnant although she will not name her lover.

  The Duchess leaves behind twin children (Duchess Alala & Duke Alastair) fathered by Emperor Leonel.

Her death is viewed by some as proof of the Emperor's divine power.

Duchess Talitha Aelius died within months of her elder sister.

She also spurned the Emperor's advances publicly and birthed a child (Tre Aelius) out of wedlock.

Emperor Leonel does not claim responsibility for Tre and therefore the child does not receive and honorary title.

The deaths in the Aelius household are causing a panic among the nobility. 

 Duchess Arista (teenage daughter of Grand Duke Aristole & Grand Duchess Tullia) is also taken by illness.

After all the deaths in the Porphyrius family, we finally have new life.

Fabian's daughter is named Aure.

Melani's bastard is called Melantha.

Good luck, Ira!
