Bounty was King of the Six Duchies until succeeded by his younger son, Shrewd Farseer. Bounty also had a legitimate daughter, Merry Farseer, younger sister to Shrewd. He also had a bastard eldest son, Chade, on his lover Hyacinth Fallstar.
During his reign Solicity served as skillmistress. He was the last king (before Dutiful) to have a Skill-coterie. He decided the Skill was too dangerous for many to know so learning it was restricted to royal family only. This restriction was only lifted during the regency of Kettricken.
