Hm... Thoughts?

Pardon me for dropping in.

I tend to interpret that as characteristic laziness on the part of the FE scriptwriters, which means we can go with it in any direction we want in fanfic. FE overall has a very, very, very low rate of remarriage among the primary cast, but at the same time seems to take a pretty lax attitude toward "lovers" and marriage in the first place.

BUT-- earlier (1-5) games tended to show more complicated marital dynamics, with kings taking second wives, and female nobles getting involved with more than one man. The later games get really sketchy on details in many departments, and I tend to interpret that as part of the general laziness of the writing team after Kaga left Intelligent Systems. (Along with, "What were the names of the other Five Heroes of Magvel?" and other burning questions.)

So I think the main reason Ismaire, Vigarde, and Fado didn't remarry was so the writers didn't have to worry about spouses and half-siblings. :/
