Gen 9

Wallo Hawthrone (Heir)

Born in 1475, Wallo was the first and only surviving son of Egric and Elfleta Hawthrone. He grew up watching his siblings die one after another. He survived an outbreak of the Sweating Sickness and entered into an arranged marriage in 1489 at only 14 years old, to Nota Adley. Driven by his youthful energy, he quickly set to work creating the next generation. His first child—a daughter, much to his father’s disappointment—was born only nine months after his wedding. He had several more daughters, and his father pressured him to keep trying for a son. After four daughters, a son was finally born. In 1507, his father passed away from the Sweating Sickness, and Wallo would succumb to the same disease in 1515. His wife followed him in death in 1517, also falling victim to the Sweating Sickness.

Elwisia Hawthrone:
Born in 1475, she spent 13 short years cleaning and cooking before her passing in 1488.

 

 

 

 

Brackley Hawthrone:
Brackley was born in 1476, and from the moment she took her first breath, she was already a disappointment to her father for being born female, destined to a life of cooking and housework. She passed away from the Sweating Sickness in 1485.

 

Ailm Hawthrone:
Born in 1479, his father's frustration was palpable when little Ailm passed away only five years later, in 1484.

 

 

 

 

Bramley Hawthrone:
Stillborn in 1481, Bramley's death was an additional blow to his father, who was disheartened to see Brackley and Elwisia live while his third son did not.

Gen 8

Dyota Hawthrone
The first-born daughter and child of Matthew and Lefquen Hawthrone. From birth, her father was disappointed because she was born female; he had hoped for a male heir, especially since it had already taken them four years to conceive her. Dyota died shortly after her birth in 1445.

Egric Hawthrone (Heir)
The heir of this generation, Egric, was born in 1454. His father was never happier than when his first son was born, as a male heir was crucial to continuing the family legacy. In 1473, Egric married Elfleta Gayton. Together they had five children, but only their first-born son survived into adulthood. While Egric was never drafted for war, he witnessed his father being called to service several times during various conflicts. As his wife and children passed away, due to disease, Egric acted quickly, arranging a wedding for his son to secure the family line. He was disappointed that it took four tries before his grandson, the family's "worthy heir," was born. Egric passed away in 1507 after contracting the Sweating Sickness.

 

 

 

Elene Hawthrone
Elene was born in 1455 and married William Montrose in 1469. Together they had three children: John, Clara, and Henry Montrose. Elene lived a typical life for a woman of her time, focusing on family and household management. She passed away in 1495.

 

 

 

 

      

 

 

 

 

Ethelburge Hawthrone
Born in 1456, Ethelburge never saw the world outside her mother's womb, as she was stillborn. 

George Hawthrone (one handsome motherfucker)
Our handsome boy George was born in 1457 as the second son and last child of his parents. Oh how I wished he was the first born. He married a local girl, Isabel Durand, one of many women named Isabel who married into the Hawthrone family. They had two children, Thomas and Margery. Unfortunately, Isabel lost her fertility after Margery's birth, and George could not father more children, much to his dismay. He passed away in 1500 at the age of 43. He never forgave Margery for destroying his chances for more offsprings.

Gen 7

 

Matthew Hawthrone

Born in 1425, Matthew Hawthrone was the first son of Marcus and Samantha Hawthrone, and the heir of Generation 7. His life was relatively uneventful, as he led the simple and typical life of a farmer. He had the chance to meet his grandfather Richard, but Richard passed away when Matthew was still young, leaving him with only vague memories of the man.

In 1448, Matthew witnessed his mother slowly die from illness, a painful experience that left its mark on him. A year later, in 1449, he married Lefquen Rinde, who gave birth to their first child in 1452. In 1454, their next heir was born. From 1452 to 1457, they had five children: Dyota, Egric, Elene, Ethelburge, and George. Like most families of the time, their daughters were either married off or died young, while the sons were raised to work the farm.

 Matthew and his father, Marcus, worked closely together, teaching Egric how to run the farm until Marcus passed in 1456. Afterward, Matthew took full responsibility for the family’s land.

In 1460, Matthew was called to fight in the Battle of Northampton during the Wars of the Roses. He returned home, but once again went to war in 1471 to fight in the Battle of Tewkesbury.

Tragedy struck again in 1483, when Matthew’s wife Lefquen passed away. His grief was short-lived, as two years later in 1485, he went to war for the final time at the Battle of Bosworth Field. He survived the battle but died in 1489, leaving behind a legacy of survival through war, loss, and duty to his family.

Clara Hawthrone

Born in 1427, Clara was the first daughter of Marcus and Samantha Hawthrone. She was married off to Thomas Carter in 1441, a wealthy man who provided her with a secure life. Clara and Thomas had four children: Alice, Edward, William, and Isabell. Her role as a wife and mother was typical of women at the time—her existence centered around her family, without much recognition or importance beyond that.

Jeanette Hawthrone

Jeanette Hawthrone was born in 1428, the second daughter of Marcus and Samantha. In 1443, she was married off to John Blackwell. Like her sister Clara, Jeanette’s life was defined by her duties as a wife and mother. She had three children: Henry, Margaret, and Robert. Her life passed quietly, fulfilling her role with little fanfare or acknowledgment.

Octavia Hawthrone

Octavia Hawthrone was born still in 1431. As the third daughter in the family, her death went unmourned. The family quickly moved on from her brief and unnoticed existence. But the wolfs in the forest had a great snack that night. 

 

Ann Hawthrone

Ann Hawthrone was born in 1432, the youngest of the Hawthrone daughters. She lived a short life, dying in 1437 at just five years old. Her death, like many in the family, was met with indifference, as she had no lasting impact on the household. But she too was a great snack for the forests wild life.

Gen 6

Marcus Hawthrone (Heir)

Born in 1398, Marcus Hawthrone was the first son of Richard and Elisabeth. Marcus’s childhood was shaped by the unrelenting pressure to continue the family name, an expectation that followed him into adulthood.

In 1417, Marcus married Samantha Scobell and from their wedding night onward, the two tried incessantly for children. However, by 1422, Samantha began to fear that she was unable to conceive.

 

Their luck finally turned in 1424 with the birth of their son, Matthew. But when their first daughter, Clara, was born in 1427, Marcus felt little pride. Daughters were seen as burdens, mere caretakers and marriage pawns, and Marcus was vocal about his desire for more sons. Between 1428 and 1437, Samantha bore several more daughters - Jeanette, Octavia (who was stillborn), and Ann, who died as a child in 1437. Each daughter was met with disappointment from Marcus.

As his daughters reached marrying age, Marcus swiftly arranged marriages for them to free himself of their burden. In 1441, Clara was married off, followed by Jeanette in 1443.

His focus remained on his son Matthew, the only child who mattered in his eyes.

When he died in 1456, he left behind a legacy built on survival, one that he hoped his son would continue.

Gerard Hawthrone

Gerard Hawthrone was born still in 1399, one of many brief tragedies in the family’s long history. His arrival and immediate death were simply another sorrow for his parents, and life quickly moved on without him.

Clinton Hawthrone

Clinton Hawthrone came into the world in 1400, but like so many of his siblings, he would not live to see adulthood. He died in 1402, just two years old, his passing barely noticed in a household accustomed to loss.

Dorothy and Ericka Hawthrone

Dorothy and Ericka Hawthrone were born together in 1402. They were raised with little affection, trained to keep the household running as they grew into young women.

 

Ericka’s life was cut short in 1415 when she succumbed to the sweating sickness, a rapid and deadly illness.She fell ill suddenly and was dead within days. The family barely paused to mourn her. Dorothy followed a year later in 1416, her death met with the same indifference as her sister’s.

Felix and Arthur Hawthrone

Felix and Arthur were born together in 1404, though their mother, Elisabeth, died giving birth to Arthur. Raised by their father Richard and their elder brother Marcus, the twins grew up in a household marked by the specter of death and war.

In 1418, Arthur was sent to fight in the ongoing Hundred Years' War. His fate was sealed when he died in battle in 1420.

 

Felix, however, charted a different course. In 1419, he married Alexia Mayes, and together they built a family of their own, welcoming four children: Robert, Beatrice, Edmund, and Margaret.

 

Felix lived with his family, taking care of his own farm, till he passed away in 1452.
