Utter solitude wrote: I think he's fine. Often, Kings were much older than their brides. Yes that was common in medieval Europe. In my country, we had a king (King Stephen Milutin) in the 14th century who married 6 years old Byzantine princess Simonis. He was 44 at the time and 3 years older than his father in love, Emperor Andronikos II. To make things worse, she was his 5th wife. The marriage was a part of newly formed alliance between Serbian Kingdom and Byzantine Empire.

Sorry for a history lesson, I though it would be interesting :)
