Ok so in the first series he does actually get married but the poor princess is only a wee girl.I just wonder what would've happened if poor old Blackie had been lumbered with the Spanish Infanta or good old Bob. It might have made for some interesting episodes! Even Queen Bess tickled his fancy at one point, maybe she would've been able to tame our lovable Blackadder.

Technically speaking both Blackadders from series two and three would have had to marry to ensure there was an Edmund to carry on the family tree into the next series. Whoever these mystery women were she was evidently of little personality or looks because each Edmund looks exactly like his father.

Yeh but.... in the first series the princess was only say...10 so techecally she couldnt have a baby and any way he dies at the end so... where does Eddie the 2 come from?!?!?!?!?!

well the first Edmund definitely had an illegitimate son (see 'the whole damn dynasty'), though I find it hard to imagine anyone would have slept with that drip if they didn't have to!! Now the Edmund from BII on the other hand and he was a known womaniser. If he had an illegitimate son that could explain why the dynasty fell to being butlers.

i reckon that just for fun mr. blackadder should have married mrs. miggins! those would have benn some messed up children!
but part of the fun in blackadder is that he is single and has it off with prostitutes......

all who agree post a message!

I AGREE!!!!!!!
I think all the Blackadder children must have been illegitimate - but as they all look exactly like the original (only with better hair) he must have some severely dominant alleles (anyone who doesn't understand, see: New Higher Biology by James Torrance, Unit 2: Genetics and Adaptation). Anyway, back to illegitimate children . . .

When did Baldrick manage to have any children?

i aggree it would have made some good episodes so why didnt they do them?

i think that it would have added another twist to black adder. espically
if it was som long lost son or brother.
