On a side note I wonder how Wilfreds current retainers feel about Hanelore. Would they hate her since the ditter match may have partially damaged his reputation (even though he doesn't really care) or would they rejoice due to him finding a partner from a greater dutchy?

Those still holding out hope for him becoming the successor after all, would surely rejoice. Those who faithfully serve him, for his sake, like Lamprecht after his straightening out, I can see going three possible ways.

  • Happy that he's getting a good wife, who's probably going to be able to keep his impulses in check (he's got to be easier to deal with than the ditter-heads Hannelore is used to dealing with).
  • They might resent her for the damaged reputation, as you said.
  • They might take issue with the finally calmed down situation around his succession surely getting heated up and complicated again.

I don't really know enough about any of them, not even Lamprecht, to make any educated guesses.
