**Lord Edrick Solberg** was the eldest of the Solberg brothers, being the head of the Solberg House and the oldest of King John Koopa VI's half-brothers. He was the first husband of Lady Jane Phoenix and a character in *Wars of Frozen Flames* who was mentioned to have died a week prior to the start of the series in a riding accident that involved him falling off his mustie drunk before the birth of his son James Solberg. His death resulted in Jane having to remarry to Korrin Sylver and losing custody of James, who would then become Edrick's brother Rodrick's ward.

Lord Edrick Solberg is based on Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond.

## History

Edrick Solberg was the first born son of Queen Klaudia Von Speckbohne and her second husband, Sir Arwin Solberg, who she married upon the death of her former spouse, King John Koopa V. Edrick and his younger brothers, Rodrick and Theodrick were all granted knighthood at some point in their lives and all gained access to their half-brother King John Koopa VI's royal cabinet. It's stated that the three Solberg brothers all had a positive relationship with John growing up.

Upon Sir Arwin's death, Edrick became the head of the Solberg House, of which he and his brothers were the only members left. Around this time, Edrick met Lady Jane Phoenix, who at the time was engaged to Lord Alfred De La Korde's son Lord John De La Korde. In spite of this the two developed feelings for each other and started a relationship. According to Lily Python, Jane and Edrick were caught having an intimate moment by the King's chamberlain, causing Jane's marriage to John De La Korde to be cancelled and for her and Edrick to marry instead. John De La Korde would go on to marry Lady Olivia Koopa instead.

Nine months before the start of the series, Jane laid an egg containing her and Edrick's first child. Unfortunately, shortly before the child hatched from the egg, Edrick died in an accident drunk-riding his mustie, falling off of it and landing on the bottom of a cliff, suffering an instant death and leaving Jane widowed and their unhatched child without a father. A week after the incident, Jane and Edrick's child hatched from the egg, with Jane naming him James, after her late father.

Unfortunately due to Jane's status as a widow, she was forced to give James away to someone at the service of the crown upon remarriage, as if she didn't remarry she wouldn't be able to financially support herself, much less a child. Not wanting to give James to her uncle Sigmund or her cousin Blayne out of fear that they might try to hurt him, Edrick's brother Rodrick offers Jane to raise the child himself, as well as setting her up with a suitable husband, which he finds in Korrin Sylver. Following Jane and Korrin's marriage, James is separated from his mother and left under the care of his uncle, with Korrin promising Jane that they will visit James as much as they can.
