The Three Musketeers of StarBase 12

Lord Frederick William Howard and Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort had four children together.

Three sons and one daughter, Lord Frederick William Howard JR, Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard and Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

Lord Frederick William Howard was the eldest of three children of Lord Patrick William Howard and his Duchess, Lady Penelope Margaret Devereux.

Lady Penelope gave birth to their eldest child and his father's successor to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory on Star Base in 2140 in the new manor of Norfolk that Lord Patrick built himself.

Lord Patrick was a master at architecture, and he could also build furniture with his own hands.

Lady Penelope was a seamstress by gaining a good reputation by making ladies's clothing for all the ladies on Star Base 12.

Lady Penelope was also a devoted mother to her three children, Lord Frederick William, Lady Louisa Augusta and Lord Andrew Edward and under the mother's eye they grew up.

Lord Frederick William Howard was born in 2140, followed by Lady Louisa Augusta in 2145 and followed by Lord Andrew Edward in 2150.

Lord Frederick William met Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort the daughter of Lord Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset Territory.

Lord Patrick William considered it a worthy match for his eldest son and heir to his estate and with Lord Patrick William blessings Lord Frederick William married Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort in June of 2158.

Lord Patrick William gave them a parcel of land on the estate to build a home and with his father's help he built his own country manor.

Lord Frederick named his manor Balmoral Manor and when it was finally built and furnished his bride and he moved into it.

Lady Jeannette would soon bless her husband with their eldest son, Lord Frederick William in 2161 to be followed by Lord Charles Andrew in 2165, Lady Sophia Charlotte their only daughter would be born in 2170 and their youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles would be born in 2175.

Lord Patrick William would pass away in September of 2176 and Lord Frederick William succeeded his father to the Dukedom of Norfolk and he would move his family into the home that his father built.

Lord Frederick William was a stern man and no matter how hard Lady Jeannette begged her husband to allow their children to marry for love he wouldn't give in but he did agree to allow his daughter to marry for love, but not his sons. They had to marry young women in some of the most influential families on Star Base 12.

Lord Frederick William JR the eldest son went against father and married for love and as a result he lost his right to succeed his father and it passed onto his second son Lord Charles Andrew.

Lord Frederick William looked to his second son, Lord Charles Andrew to marry and produce an heir to what his father started.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard met and fell in love with the heiress of the Duke of Marlborough and her name was Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Churchill.

Lord Christian Churchill left it up to his daughter if she wanted to marry the second son of Lord Frederick William Howard.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard was tall, good looking, dashing, and she accepted his marriage proposal and in June of 2199 she married Lord Charles Andrew Howard, but their first child wasn't born for 10 years after their marriage.

Well, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth finally gave birth to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR in 2209 Lord Charles Andrew SR was overjoyed with the birth of their eldest child and heir.

Lady Alexandra Elizabeth went on to have three more children, Lord Richard Edward in 2215, to be followed by their only daughter, Lady Sophia Charlotte named for her Aunt and the only sister of Lord Charles Andrew in 2220, and finally Lord Edwin William in 2225.

Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard would go on to marry Lord William Carey in 2207 and within 1 year Lady Sophia Charlotte gave birth to a son, Lord George William Carey in 2209 and five year later she would give birth to Lady Georgiana Wilhelmina Carey in 2215

Lord William Carey was the Duke of Bedford Territory but he also had a territory on Rigel Seven and with his beloved Lady Sophia Charlotte and his two children he moved to Rigel Seven.

Where Lady Sophia Charlotte raised their two children Lord George and Lady Georgiana. She was a very devoted mother to her two children.

Lady Sophia Charlotte taught them at home and under her careful eye they grew up and proved to be a real credit to Lord William and her.

Lord George Carey met and fell in love with Lady Henrietta Bourbon and they married in August of 2225 and within a year she blessed Lord George with their son, Lord Robert Frederick Carey in 2226 and five years later in 2231 she gave birth to Lady Roberta Henrietta Carey.

Lord Robert Frederick Carey meets and marries the woman of his dream and her name is Lady Lettice Knollys on Rigel Seven and they marry in June of 2248 and within 11/2 years in September of 2249 she gives her husband Lord Robert the good news that she is expecting their first child, and a son arrives in June of 2250 and they name him Lord Richard William Carey and five year later they are blessed with a daughter, Lady Roberta Wilhelmina Carey in 2256.

Lord Frederick William Howard JR marries against his father's consent but he is happy with his beautiful wife, Lady Dorothy Deveraux in October of 2250 she gives birth to Lord Frederick William Howard III. He is their only child.

Now we come to Lord Andrew Charles Howard, the youngest son of Lord Frederick William and Lady Jeannette Virginia and he is the smartest out of Lord Frederick William sons and he stands up against his father and he refuses to marry the woman picked out for him as his father already has his heir in his older brother, Lord Charles Andrew.

Lord Andrew Charles takes sides with his oldest brother, Lord Frederick William and he states "I will marry the woman that I love father." and Lord Andrew Charles meets the heiress to the Dukedom of Northumberland Territory and her name is Lady Cynthia Alexandrina Percy and by marrying her he becomes Duke of Northumberland Territory in 2195.

Lady Cynthia gave birth to a son, Lord John Robert Howard in 2205 and a daughter, Lady Joan Roberta Howard in 2210.

Lord John Robert Howard marries Lady Jennifer Fitzgerald in 2224 and in September 2225 she gives birth to Lord William Thomas Howard and in June of 2248 he marries Lady Isabella Valois and in January of 2250 guess who arrives their son, Lord Thomas William Howard.

None of the cousins know they exist until they are invited to their cousin's wedding in February of 2275 by Lord Andrew Charles Howard to Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell.

All cousins form an uncanny friendship with each other as they are all the great-great-grandsons of Lord Frederick William Howard and Lady Jeannette Virginia Beaufort.

They exclude Lord Andrew Charles Howard and none like him despite the fact he is also the great-grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard and his grandfather is Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR.

They form a close bond and are often seen together at Star Base 12, but Lord Richard William Carey has an agenda to steal Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann away from Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

They start calling themselves "The Three Musketeers of Star Base 12 and Lady Karissa awards them their names one by one and they call her Queen Anne of Austria.

Lady Karissa gives Lord Richard William the name of Aramis, and to Lord Frederick William she gives the name of Athos, and to Lord Thomas William she gives the name of Porthos.

The Three Musketeers start to watch over Lady Karissa and her children from Lord Andrew Charles and they vow together to bring him down in time. This way their cousin can marry his one true love and that is Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann.

Little does Lord Andrew Charles Howard realize that Lord Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk and his two brothers, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III and Lord Patrick William Howard are also on the same mission to bring him down.

Lady Karissa tells them they must wait until Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane comes of age.

The Three Musketeers wait patiently for Lady Karissa to tell them it is time to bring Lord Andrew Charles down and depose him and to install Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane as The first Duchess of Norfolk Territory.

The three cousins become the champions of Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann, their Queen Anne of Austria and they vow to keep her safe from Lord Andrew Charles and her children which two belong to Lord Richard William Carey and four belong to Lord Andrew Charles Howard and one belongs to Lord Charles Andrew Howard III.

They are often seen out at Beltane Manor visiting Lady Karissa and their cousins.
