Geraldo VII

Rei Geraldo VII (King Geraldo VII), had technically been king since 1740 when his father, Geraldo VI, died. Born on the 28th day of Simpís in 1728 as Conde Vasquez (Count Vasquez), his name was changed in honor of his late father and the previous Geraldos. As he was very young at the time, his mother and Geraldo VI's third wife Princesa Marisol de San Marino, was named regent. By law and tradition, she would continue as regent until her son either reached the age of 16 or was married, whichever came first.
Privately, the idea of the young and inexperienced Geraldo VII becoming the full-powered rei in 1744 or earlier had concerned many nobles and advisors and the princesa. Tasadeon royalty have been working to bring Geraldo VII together with the young Tasadeon Princess Alegria Ignoza. Some Millisymphians feared this was part of a scheme to give Tasedeon more control over the Bays of Khoren. Others hoped it would be help bring more diplomatic relations between the two rivals. The Demon Dust Plot may have been part of an intended assassination of not only his father but the young then count, possibly in favor of his half brother Jaxemo.
As of his elevation, his full siblings included younger brother Pancho de San Marino and younger sister Sierra Milspar; an older half-sister Dulce Fulmando by his father's first wife Reina Beatriz (Queen Beatriz); and an older half-brother by his father's second wife Romana Luisa who was Jaxemo Escarlato (Romana's first son Avano had died before his father's death). By Millisymphian rules, royal succession in order went to the first son of the first wife, the first son of the second wife, the first son of the third wife, the second son of the first wife, the second son of the second wife, etc.
