I disagree with the Duke's paedophilia being only in comparison to modern standards. He himself explicitly states "The younger the better to become my wife" in episode 19. Not to mention *everything* in his manner screams pedo. - DinkyB. 15:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

From what I've seen in History, the Duke's PoV doesn't necessarily relates to paedophilia. It was common, if not desirable, for noble girls to be married at VERY early age at that time, so they could bear their husbands healthy children soon (among other reasons, of course).

There are LOTS of examples through world history; the Queen of France Catherine of Medici, Mary Queen of Scots in her first marriage to Catherine's son Francis II), etc. There are also several examples in fiction; in Romeo and Juliet it's canon that Lady Capulet gave birth to Juliet when she was younger than Juliet, and Juliet herself was 13 years old during the play, in which her father was happily engaging her to Count Paris saying that the sooner Juliet was Paris' wife, the better.

So, Charlotte's early age doesn't *necessarily* mean that the Duke, for marrying her, *MUST* be a pedo. He could be, he could be not. Marie Antoinette herself was 13/14 when she married The Dauphin/the future Louis XVI in Rose of Versailles, and nobody accuses Louis of being a pedo. :o Lunamaria 23:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
