Thank you, Captain.

What do you think?

[Captain2]

Is this what you had come up with writesbad?

morganatic
: of, relating to, or being a marriage between a member of a royal or noble family and a person of inferior rank in which the rank of the inferior partner remains unchanged and the children of the marriage do not succeed to the titles, fiefs, or entailed property of the parent of higher rank

[Captain2]

Can't say for sure. Yours doesn't seem to quite fit the bill but I can't find 'maritage' for a definition. I don't have Chambers, Bradford or the like though.

[writesbad]

Yes, I think so. A slightly different spelling of the same thing

Thanks Mamya; how strange, I did a Google search for 'maritage' no results found, yet merriam webster are there on every positive search I've done.

[Captain2]

Definitely 'maritage' then. :)))

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, seems so.

[writesbad]

Thank you, M and C. I will humbly retreat under my stone....
