Zoe Danger Also, Robert is the favorite. She has always like Robert more than Edward. While she was distraught by it she likes Robert more than Edward. Edward even says so himself regarding the marriage, that she will be more distraught by it, but he will also be more easily forgiven.
It came across to me more as further excuse to get what she wanted, which which Robert as her eldest son and favorite. Robert has the pomp that she liked where Edward didn't have any desire for any of it.

Nente My understanding was she actually gave the estate planned for Edward the husband of Miss Morton to Robert; the text says settled, I know, but if she signed a deed of possession or whatever the stuff is called in legalese, there might have been no option of changing her mind.
Her will is another matter, I think it's implied that after giving her children money or estates on their marriages she's still got a fair bit to bequeath.
