How many rings will Roderich have? Will he even get any? Does he have a favorite? What will it look like? Do he he have to return them to his exes when they're no longer married?
Many
Kidding it should only be up to 4 if we count the main once from Spain, Portugal, France and Hungary. Unless we feel like adding more for the funsies though I cannot think of any further major ruling figures Habsburgs married off into the other sovereigns that wouldn't like. Make it look like an entire polygamous bit (Austrian monarchs marrying into the Dutch line was in the period of the Spanish and Austrian branches unity, and we can get away with the Portuguese bit because the major marriage later was during the Spanish succession war, Maria Anna and Joao V 1708 - 1750) ... so 4 is the perfect number to stop at.
Considering both spouses have their own rings and Roderich is synonymous with tu felix austria nube, he'd have kept them because 1) They're sure as hell expensive antique and nothing comes close to the unique look of said rings.
And 2) Maybe when he's feeling mischievous and wants to taunt them he'd wear the rings to meetings and conferences. Particularly to mess with France. Especially to mess with France. And simultaneously making Spain's blood boil and remembering why he wants to murder France and it's not because of Napoleon this time.
Favourite rings: from the marriage with Spain & Hungary.
