King Roger II was the seventh reigning monarch of the Star Kingdom of Manticore from 1642 to 1669 PD.
Family[]
Roger II was married to Queen Consort Solange; they had one daughter, Crown Princess Adrienne. (HHA2.2: WPD)
Biography[]
Queen Solange was assassinated during Princess Adrienne's youth[1]. After this, the devestated king and his daughter became estranged from each other.
Around 1651 PD, Adrienne was on a state visit to the planet Sphinx, when the treecat Seeker of Dreams adopted her while foiling an assassination attempt on her. After these events, her father's attitude changed and they enjoyed a much closer relationship. (HHA2.2: WPD)
Due to many slavers' practice of jettisoning their slaves into space when they were overhauled, Roger II proposed the addition of the Equipment Clause to the Cherwell Convention, which stated that any starship equipped as a slaver was in fact a slaver, whether it had slaves on board or not. (CS1)
Roger II was among the Star Kingdom's least popular monarchs; during the middle of his reign, the Crown's popularity was extremely low. (Companion)
