After Alysy's tragic death, he remarried in 245 HE. Queen Jessamine of Conté was his second wife and mother of his heir, Prince Gareth, who was born in 246 HE. When Jesssamine became queen and showed an interest in the affairs of the kingdom Roger himself became more involved in it. This didn't go too well with his brother, nobles and mages, who were by then used to getting their way.
