Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and Lord George Frederick Carey only want the best for their eldest daughters and only a the son of a Duke, Marquess or an Earl will do. They must be from a good aristocratic family or a good gentry family.
However, the Cotillion didn't yield to many sons but more daughters and the fathers looking for a bride for their oldest son or daughter as the case maybe were very limited.
The Cotillion of 2249 only produced five sons, and all the sons were the oldest sons of Earls either from Star Base 10 or 12, and one was Lord Robert Neville, Earl of Westmoreland Territory and the one was Lord Edmund Stafford, Earl of Stafford along with Lord Roger Mortimer, Earl of March who was also presenting his daughter, Lady Katherine Mortimer at the same time.

"I thought this cotillion would produce more young men." Lord George Carey tells his cousin.
"I have to find a groom for my beautiful daughter but he has to be worthy of her as she is the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk Territory." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells his first cousin.
"How do you think I feel when I have to marry my daughter beneath her rank." Lord George asks.
"There are no Marquesses here this evening, and only a handful of Earl's sons." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.
"I even had a hard time finding my son a bride. How about you?" Lord Charles Andrew JR asks.
"Lord Robert Frederick Carey is engaged to Lady Lettice Knolly." Lord George Frederick states.
Lady Patricia Charlene Howard is a young woman who knows what she wants and she sets her eyes on Lord Ralph Neville, the oldest son of Lord Robert Neville, Earl of Westmoreland Territory.

Lady Patricia Charlene Howard walks over to her father " Father. I want to meet Lord Ralph Neville, he is the son of Lord Robert Neville, Earl of Westmoreland Territory." Lady Patricia tells her father.
"I am acquainted with Lord Robert Neville." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR states " I believe that his great-grandfather traveled with Lord Patrick William Howard in 2153."

Lord Charles Andrew JR and Lord Robert Neville sit down to finalize the marriage with their son and daughter and but Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lord Robert " Lady Patricia can't marry until 2253."
"I am fine with that because I am not ready to retire just yet and when I do I want my son to succeed me to my Earldom." Lord Robert states.
"What about the dowry?" Lord Charles Andrew JR asks.
"Lord Howard. I am not too concerned about the dowry. I will set aside for our grandchildren." Lord Robert tells him,
