Duchess Roseanne Gilbert was the niece of Count York. Count York was a prominent figure in Jidir and was closely connected to the royal family of Jidir.
He often helped the king and also saw Robert growing up to become a good and smart politician. But until that day, Robert didn't knew that Count York had a niece who was married to such an important person in Aartals.
The Gilbert duchy was the symbol of harmony and valor but most important thing about them was that , they were as old as the royal family of Welhems themselves.
Their authority was never questioned since their decisions and opinions had always been a measure of elegance and wisdom.
All the ladies that were married in the duchy were from Aartals for generations until Duke Xander Gilbert fell in love with Roseanne.
