There are about 12 different endings..
The early bad endings are all right, and yes, there is a "Bad final ending", a "normal ending" and two "good endings"

The bad ending is when you get less than 58 Stars as a whole. Then the Prince goes on a journey on his own. If you get more Stars, Georg accompanies him.

What are the other 3 endings? I've only mentioned 9 and you said there were 12?

-Early Bad Ending #1: Where you accept Barrow's idea of becoming a King.

-Early Bad Ending #2: You lose the duel vs. Roy.

-Early Bad Ending #3/4: You lose at any point during the Queen's Campaign. (I count these as two)

-Early Bad Ending #5: Choose to defend the Castle against Childerich and have Roy duel him.

-Early Bad Ending #6: Choose to defend the Castle against Childerich and have Roy duel him and he loses.

-Early Bad Ending #7: Lose the duel vs. Gizel.

-Early Bad Ending #8: Lose the duel vs. Childerich.

-'Less than favorable' Ending: Have a very low Star of Destiny roster. I just got this one and only had Faylon and Faylen as optional SoD recruits.

-A 'normal' Ending: Having between a medium to large amount of SoD recruits, but not having all 108 SoDs. ""Can someone confirm this to be true?""

-Good Ending A "Georg's Ending": Having all 108 SoDs and having chosen to leave with Georg.

-Good Ending B "Lymsleia's Ending": Having all 108 SoDs and having chosen to stay at Sol-Falena with Lymsleia. Considered the true ending.

"-Early Bad Ending #5: Choose to defend the Castle against Childerich and have Roy duel him."

This is not an early bad ending. This just leads to not having all 108 SoDs and therefore the normal ending, which is legitimate. The prince sails off with Georg and takes Lyon's weapon with him.

Just a few notes in regards to the endings, specifically the bad ending where Lyon dies and Prince sails off with Georg.

A - Recruit all 108 Stars, no Stars of Destiny die, and be nice to Lym. You'll have the option to get either ending A or B. "A" is choosing to stay where you get to see Prince and Lyon in their Queen's Knights outfits.
B - Recruit all 108 Stars, no Stars of Destiny die, without being nice enough to Lym. Lyon lives, but you sail off with Georg.

Those we already knew, along with the two bad endings (Choosing to side with Salum early in the game, or losing the duel with Roy), and of course the Game Over fake endings where you don't have the option to retry or continue and are just brought back to the title screen. Though I dialed in the other 2 endings, detailed below:

C - Recruit at least 70 Stars of Destiny that must be alive. This is the ending mentioned above, where Lyon will die and Prince sails off with Georg. What's interesting here is in regards to Roy. If he dies (from defending the Castle), his name is still on the Tablet of Stars (grayed out), but his ending blurb after beating the game is entirely blank, as if you didn't recruit him at all. A bit odd considering he is a mandatory recruit. Lyon dies and her blurb is still there in the ending, and Faylen even mentions Roy in her ending blurb, but Roy has been erased from history. In any case, 70 is the minimum number, though if Roy dies, he doesn't count towards the total. So if you have 70 Stars of Destiny on your Tablet of Stars, but Roy died, you really only have 69, and will get ending D. In this case you'd actually need 71 names on the Tablet of Stars to get ending C. Finally, you can recruit all 108 Stars, have Roy die, and this is the ending you will get.

D - Recruit 69 Stars of Destiny or less. Characters dying do not matter (Belcoot, Richard, Zegai, Roy), and will not count toward the SoD total. This is the ending where Prince wanders around Ashtwal in his Tir McDohl outfit.

Found all of this out while routing different speedrun categories for this game.
