I have the wellbeing of many subjects to be responsible for. I’m in my mid 20′s now, and if I were in Regina’s place I would put my country first over love, because I have people counting on me to succeed. This “run away to be with her lover” mentality, throwing all her responsibilities to the wind, is characteristic of a younger age. And I think that’s what Cora was trying to tell her (besides getting revenge on Eva). It would be foolish to not unite her kingdom with his. If Regina wanted to turn down Leopold, she could, but as I understand it his kingdom was large and powerful- the perfect alliance. This, of course, is not want Regina wants, but she can’t be picky.īecause of her status, a future queen in her own right, she is expected to marry a king or a prince. Royal marriages are often arranged, and her engagement to Leopold was expected. She should know that because she is royalty, she has a duty to her kingdom and she cannot marry for love.
Regina, knowing that she was possibly going to inherit the throne due to Henry’s old age, behaves extremely childish in wanting to run off with Daniel the stable boy. I don’t know if Henry had siblings, but we can assume if he did Cora got rid of them to ensure Regina’s first place in line for Xavier’s throne. She was raised a princess, the only child of Prince Henry. So, given that royals did indeed marry young (although not all did), we can assume that Regina did as well because of this main reason: Mary Stuart, Queen of France and Scotland: married prince Francis II of France in 1558 at age 16Īnd although not in the 1500s, there was Marie Antionette, Queen of France, who married Louis XVI in 1770 at age 15 Isabella of Castile, Queen of Spain: married Prince Ferdinand of Spain in 1469 at age 18 Knowing this, let’s examine the ages that actual European monarchs married:Ĭatherine of Aragon, Queen of England: married Prince Arthur of Wales in 1501 at age 16Ĭatherine Medici, Queen of France: married Prince Henry of France in 1533 at age 14 To give this some historical context, Snow White tale takes place around the 1500s (based off of the clothing and other visual cues from the movie) in Germany. Nominated for Best Rumbelle Fic for The Rumbelle Happy Ending Awards 2018.This has been debated, and I thought I’d give my own thoughts Can the two fall in love despite all of their differences and overcome those who seek to use them to their advantage? Unbeknownst to him, Belle has secrets of her own. Opposed to it at first, he soon agrees to it upon meeting his bride. They barter for him and keep him as their "pet." Years pass and the new royals wish for him to marry. When Rumpelstiltskin's father presents him to the royals, the king and queen know a good thing when they see it.
