Overview
Mary Davion (Born ???? - Died 2715) was the daughter and eldest child of First Prince Roger Davion of the Federated Suns.[1]
Biography
Mary Davion, daughter of First Prince Roger Davion, was stripped of her right to the throne by her father following a diplomatic mission to the Draconis Combine in 2696, a mission which saw her meet and fall in love with a young man named Soto Kurita. What would have been a relatively innocuous event became hugely contentious and would ultimately prompt a war because of those involved; not only was Mary Davion their heir to the throne of the Federated Suns, her husband was the brother of the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine, Takiro Kurita.[1]
When Roger passed the Act of Succession, barring Mary from pressing a claim to the throne, Mary chose to accede to the act, giving up her rights for the man she loved. Joseph Davion was recognised as Roger's heir, and the issue appeared to be resolved. Mary and Soto went on to have a son, Vincent, and matters would remain peaceful until Mary's death in 2715. Takiro Kurita produced paperwork stating that while Mary had acceded to the Act of Succession, she hadn't abrogated the rights of her children, and that Vincent should be the legal heir to the throne of the Federated Suns. Takiro's claims were rejected by Joseph Davion, who had become First Prince in 2703 after the death of Roger Davion, and ultimately led to the War of Davion Succession, one of the few open armed conflicts between member states during the era of the Star League and the death of Joseph Davion.[1]
