@12th, yes, traditional monarch meant that the husband would be king instead of the daughter or co-reign with her.

This happened in England when Queen Mary1st married the King of Spain. Since royalty demands a heir and Mary couldn't give on. Before it could be sorted Mary died, and Spain lost its claim to England due to the lack of a heir and with it other claims like over France.

The King of Spain did try and marry her half-sister Elizabeth but she didn't want to know, plus her status was protested by the church meaning that she couldn't marry. She was protestant and he was catholic.

So yeah, Stelly would be King-consort, with equal rights to his wife. But unless the pair have a child, Stelly's claim is thin and should she die depending on how Oda's handling him he would loose the throne. Since his ambitions are greater then that of just the Goa Kingdom, he likely has no children for a reason. If push comes to shove, he would likely ditch his wife somehow and marry into the Dragons... Which... As me know happens, but he has little chance as Sabo said of ascending rank higher then he is at. The C.Dragons pretty much vie themselves as above human and Stelly is a human.
