As recent as 100 years ago? Keep in mind that Rozemyne is a bit shy of 14 (and just 15 by our calender, if you calculate that their year has 400 days). That would be scandalous... and outright illegal in most of today's countries. I think the age issue is heavier than the pre-marriage "coming of winter" issue.
I know has happened since part 2 but I do find it funny Ferdi mentioned Benno and Myne as potential lovers despite the massive age gap (both vehimently declining).
And here we are Ferdi and gremlin (with a masive age gap......).
If I have the numbers correctly in my head, Ferdinand is 13 years older than Myne (not counting the 2 year coma or age-shift for Rozemyne's fake noble birth), and Benno is another 8 or so years older than Ferdinand. While 13 is a lot, 21 is still quite a bit more... At least Ferdinand isn't old enough to comfortably be is future wife's father, which Benno is easily.
I totally forgot Benno was older than Ferdinand 🫠
