## History

### The Feeble King

James was born in the year 1475 to Lord Edrick Solberg and his wife Lady Jane Phoenix, who was fourteen years old at the time. Shortly before he hatched from his egg, his father Edrick got himself killed while riding his mustie drunk, leaving Jane widowed and James without a father.

The day James hatched from his egg, his uncle Rodrick Solberg comes to see him for the first time and check on how Jane is doing. However, Jane is informed that the egg James was in damaged her reproductive system when she laid it, rendering her sterile and ensuring that she won't ever be able to give birth to another child.

Jane then takes James to the Koopa Castle so King John VI can meet him. It is here when Jane is informed by Cynder that, in accordance to the law of the time, if a woman were to become a widow, she would have to give away any children she has to someone at the service of the crown so they can become a ward to them upon remarriage. Jane is hesitant at first, but she is told that if she doesn't remarry she will have no one to financially support her and it will cause her and James to starve to death. At the time, Jane's only options were to leave James with either her uncle Sigmund or her cousin Blayne, both of them who are unpleasant individuals, thus making Jane afraid that they would try to hurt James if she left him with them. Upon hearing this, Rodrick offers to take James in as his ward, ensuring that he grows up safely so that Jane can remarry without worrying too much.

Lady Jane is then remarried to Sir Korrin Sylver in the year 1476, causing Jane to leave James under the care of Rodrick for good. Korrin however promises Jane that they'll visit James and Rodrick as much as they can, ensuring that James doesn't completely grow up without his mother.

By the year 1478, James has gown a bit, now being a toddler. In this episode he is being taught by a bishop, who tells Rodrick and Theodrick that James learns very fast, commenting to Rodrick that James reminds him of Rodrick. James also appears to believe that his uncle Rodrick is his father, as his first word is calling him "daddy". King John VI then enters the room, being impressed at how fast his nephew has grown, wishing to introduce him to his own son Godwin. Rodrick and John then have a private chat in which Rodrick states that he misses Jane ever since she went to live with Korrin, wishing that she could see James growing up along with them, to which John says he can relate, as he himself felt very sad when he was taken away from his mother Klaudia after she had to remarry.
