Given the crests, I suppose chancellor is CP's blood uncle. Or even grandfather.
Naturally he has a great interest in placing his blood on the throne. A sentiment I can understand, actually.
Very smart game of puppeting the council anyway. And the knights. I suppose he really is a man behind all of this amniosity. Again, the reasoning is straight beleivable.
Also, it is not really shown what is the matter with other side of twins family. I mean, they were born from 'the eldest daughter'. It would be very strange if their line has already died out
