Arthur Fitzgerald (1421)

Arthur Fitzgerald

You had a great life. You were a soldier in the English army and you managed to live till you could retire. You had a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Then things changed. You found out that your wife was a witch, your son wants to be a priest, and your daughter began acting strange. You have dealt with these things as best as you can but lately it has been wearing on you.

For the last two years your family has begun acting very strange. Your son spends more time at the church than at home. You tried to make him give up his idea of becoming a priest by telling him that you didn’t have the money to send him to the seminary, but he has obviously found a way around that. Your wife has been out late almost ever evening with her “sewing circle” and your daughter is usually with her. Even when your daughter is not with your wife she is gone, sometimes for days at a time. You have a feeling that Beatrix is going to become a witch and a heretic. She already can’t keep quiet about it, and you know that she isn’t one. Isabella Moyglare always says that she is with her but you have your doubts.

Three days ago your wife died from a plague that is beginning to hit the area. You were both distraught and relived at the same time. You were distraught because you loved your wife however you were relieved because you don’t want your daughter to follow the same path that your wife did. Your wife was a witch, but you loved her anyway. You can only hope that it’s not too late for Beatrix. Because your too busy dealing with all the headaches that women have caused, you give your son full support in his quest to be one with God.

Currently, you are afraid that Beatrix will become an old spinster if she keeps going in the direction she is headed. You need to marry her off, and in a hurry. This weekend, there is a social in Dun Boyne. Both English and Irish dignitaries will be there. That should provide the perfect backdrop to make a deal to marry off your daughter before her mouth really lands her in trouble. If only you could find a way to shut her up, because no secret is safe with her.

Your old friend, Olyver Moore has also become more agitated recently, and is going with you to Dun Boyne to enter the joust. He is bringing his squire, Gerard. Since the Irish O’Reilly’s have offered their virginal daughter up as first prize, you can only assume he is looking for a wife. That’s probably a good thing, because Beatrix is definitely not interested. Last month at dinner, she blurted out that his codpiece was a bit small...Your only worry about Olyver is that he may want to win the joust a little bit too much. You don’t know what he is capable of.

Keep an eye on Beatrix and marry her off. Help your son in any way you can, and protect your family.

What is this?
