Jennah being illegitimate ruler doesn't means her parents weren't married. Illegitimate means a child being born of parents not married to each other. Jennah still has the rights to the throne as she was the heir after her Father's, she just isn't a legitimate heir, she's a kitten heir. Kind of like Jon Snow, even though he is the kitten child of Rhaegon Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, he has a higher claim to the throne than Daenarys, despite Dany being a legitimate heir. Nope illegitimate means she doesn't have the right to the Throne/there is someone that has a stronger right to it.Illegitimate child is a child born out of marriage, and child was never legitimised. Illegitimate children also have no right to succeeding titles from their parents (traditionally in middle ages and GoT lore). Jenna might have been illegitimate child if her father the King was planning on having a male child and died of sudden death.But what Estelle is probably referring to is that she is illegitimate like her father was and many of his predecessors because White Mantle recognises a different line of succession as opposed to Jenna's predecessor line. And White Mantle were rightful rulers 250 years ago and that is what Estelle is talking about. So Jennah was probably just legitimate child. Jennah could still possibly be an illegitimate heir and have the highest claim as she is the only heir to the King before her and has a claim to the Doric bloodline. We know nothing about her parents except that her father was the King so it is unknown at this point if she is legitimate or illegitimate. Estelle could have been referring to two things here,a) That the White Mantle would recognise their own line of succession and not Salma's. And indeed are the rightful rulers and those descended from Salma are illegitimate rulers.Orb) That Jennah is indeed an illegitimate ruler as Estelle is older than Jennah and would most likely, if she was a minister or noble at that time, have heard of Jennah's parentage and was using this information against Jennah.

Jennah being illegitimate ruler doesn't means her parents weren't married. Illegitimate means a child being born of parents not married to each other. Jennah still has the rights to the throne as she was the heir after her Father's, she just isn't a legitimate heir, she's a bastard heir. Kind of like Jon Snow, even though he is the bastard child of Rhaegon Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, he has a higher claim to the throne than Daenarys, despite Dany being a legitimate heir.

There's a ? next to the date, indicating that it's a rough approximation, and estimated, guess. Based on the Queen's Jubilee, she was crowned in 1316 AE. If we assume that Tyria works with the same way as most of America with no longer being a minor, that could mark her 18th birthyear. In other words, she was born in 1928 AE if so. This would also make her 27 during the personal story, thus the sylvari line @"Aaron Ansari.1604" linked would be accurate. And thus, during 1330 AE of Season 3, she'd have been 32. I would probably suggest altering the Tyrian royal family tree article to say "1925-1300" as that seems more accurate. Yeah, I noticed the question mark which is why I'm curious about her actual age. As well as the "she was too young to rule when her father died in 1310" fact. Too young at 20 sounds a little weird. It would be nice to have some accurate in-game info on (at least the current) rulers of Tyria. Well 1298 would mean she was 12 in 1310. So it makes more sense.I thought that Jennah would have been 16 when she ascended the throne and not 18, however we don't have much knowledge in what age you have to be to be considered an adult.

In Head of the Snake, Estelle reveals that Jennah is in illegitimate ruler, which means her parents were never married. We have also heard no mention of her mother but her father is mentioned a small amount in the personal story.
