1) What is the purpose of the 'Her Glory At Marriage' column?

You roll once for each previous marriage - but the result lists her glory at the time of the previous marriage, does this mean that I should only be interested in the highest result I get from the rolls on this column?
This is the glory that was granted to her husband of the previous marriage - the wife received glory from her husband at that time but the table does not tell you what this figure was, which is what is relevant to figuring out how much glory the PC is going to get by marrying her
All entries are >1000, which is the maximum glory you can gain from a single event, so why make the rolls? Has the 'maximum glory for a single event' cap been removed for marriage?



2) The 'Living Children' column has a 21+ entry but there are no modifiers listed for this roll so this is an unachievable result. Is this entry an error - did there used to be modifiers for older wives that were superceded by the 'roll twice, once for children and once for grandchildren' rule for wives >40?

Boy, What amateur wrote these rules anyway? :(
Sorry...
very sloppy of me


1) What is the purpose of the 'Her Glory At Marriage' column?


These number will show how many Glory Points she has distributed among her skills

This ought to be "Amount of Glory gained per marriage"


This is the glory that was granted to her husband of the previous marriage - the wife received glory from her husband at that time but the table does not tell you what this figure was, which is what is relevant to figuring out how much glory the PC is going to get by marrying her
All entries are >1000, which is the maximum glory you can gain from a single event, so why make the rolls? Has the 'maximum glory for a single event' cap been removed for marriage?

No, it has not.
In fact, one of the reasons is that it was instituted because of this



2) The 'Living Children' column has a 21+ entry but there are no modifiers listed for this roll so this is an unachievable result. Is this entry an error - did there used to be modifiers for older wives that were superceded by the 'roll twice, once for children and once for grandchildren' rule for wives >40?

Yes, looks like it
Just strike that whole line of 21+
