Unmarried noblemen
William d'Aubigny (21)
Alan d'Aubigny (19)
William de Beaumont (19)
There's another d'Aubigny son running around, but he is much younger.
William de Ferrers (21)
Robert de Vere (22)
William of Brunswick (16)


Unmarried noblewomen
Matilda d'Aubigny (17)
Nichole d'Aubigny (16)
Matilda of Chester (19) [illegitimate sister of Ranulf de Blondeville]
Isabel de Warenne (18)
Matilda de Warenne (17)

Every house but de Mandeville and de Redvers have girls of very young age that a person could contract a betrothal with, holding off on marriage until they actually come of age.
Gm * Man of Angles * Sionnach * Scealai *

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,/Every poem an epitaph. And any action/Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat/Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:/See, they depart, and we go with them./We are born with the dead:/See, they return, and bring us with them./The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree/Are of equal duration. A people without history/Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern/Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails/On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel/History is now and England
--Eliot, Little Gidding
