Lord Carmichael de Quieroz, Baron of New Madrid, was a Manticoran peer and the husband of Princess Elizabeth Winton.

He and the princess married in 1534 PD; at that time, he already had three children with his deceased first wife: Miriam, Brandon, and Juliette.

In 1539. he died in a hunting accident[1]. (MA2,MA4)

Shortly after her unexpected ascension to the Manticoran throne, Elizabeth had herself inseminated with Carmichael's frozen sperm to create an heir. She also had a constitutional amendment passed to legitimize the child[2] even though he was not sired by a commoner spouse as the Constitution required. (MA3)
