Caspian's a medieval monarch - they hitched up young. And what's the hurry when your
love interest is much more long-lived?

that the children are 2 or 3 years older at the beginning of Prince Caspian. Aravis is right
that Lewis "explicitly states" that only a year has gone by, but that information isn't vital to
the story. 2 or 3 years could have gone past and the story would virtually remain the
same.

Because of the extra time between movies, I would not be surprised if they made the gap
between stories two years to match, as well. I guess Caspian would need to be a little
older than I think of him, though, since he marries about 3-4 Narnian years later.

year or so younger than Peter, so that would make PC and Susan around the same age
when they meet.
