Now that is super sweet. Édouard evidently loves his little sister!
Can't wait to see how he and Margaret interact now!

She's underage. The age of majority in England and Scotland is 21.And why can Margaret not take the reins of government now?
That depends on whether the king/queen assert their authority much earlier. No one questioned Edward III’s right to rule for example when he overthrew the regents and seized power at the age of 17.That said, I don’t think the age of majority in England was 21. Henry VI was declared of age at the age of 16 and formally assumed power.She's underage. The age of majority in England and Scotland is 21.
Edmund Fitzalan couldn't take control of his inheritance when his father died even though he was already 18.That depends on whether the king/queen assert their authority much earlier.

It’s actually 14 for married women, 16 for single women, and 21 for males, so Margaret is already of age. Time to kick out the regents.Edmund Fitzalan couldn't take control of his inheritance when his father died even though he was already 18.
That's for England. In Scotland it was 21 for men and 18 for women I think (the book I could look it up in is packed away during redecorating). However, the Guardians (the official title of the regents in Scotland) could declare Margaret to be of age earlier (I think it only needed a majority of the Guardians to agree this, not all of them). Various monarchs in Scottish history were declared of age earlier after coming to the throne as infants/children so I think having Margaret declared of age now is plausible.It’s actually 14 for married women, 16 for single women, and 21 for males, so Margaret is already of age.

Hahaha that's so funny, I definitely haven't written numerous chapters that talk about Margaret only coming of age when she's 21 and posted them on Patreon already.It’s actually 14 for married women, 16 for single women, and 21 for males, so Margaret is already of age. Time to kick out the regents.
Yesss.... I could work with that.99.9% chance of the regents wanting to hold onto power (and not have an English heir) for as long as possible.
