Liston Canons

the Royal House of Howard

The House of Howard has been ruling Liston for over a thousand years, starting when Broan Howard unified the clans of Liston. Since ascending the throne, the Howards have seen Liston through prosperity, depression, war, famine, and peace. In more recent times, Princess Ophelia Seraphin of Sundaril had married into the Howards while the former First Princess of Liston, Alys, married Ophelia's brother, King Aldrin Seraphin. The double alliance between Liston and Sundaril tossed both countries for a loop, but more importantly the Howard line. Following the assassination of King Edward IV in August 1032 and the takeover of the crown in 1036, the last hopes for the continuation of the Howard line lies within Callan's line. Their motto is "Always."

High Listonese Nobility

the Noble House of Greystone

The House of Greystone started just after the Howards started their dynasty. Because of the late Duke Adam's marriage to King Edwin's younger sister, Maeve, the Greystones have a tie to the throne that is unbeatable by all others except direct descendants of Edwin himself. Currently, their Duke has returned to them after his marriage to the queen was annulled. Their motto is "Trust and Honor.”

the Noble House of Hart

The House of Hart arose when a faithful knight proved himself on the field of battle. The knight's name? Sir Walter Hart. The Harts have risen far since the day of battle, owning the county of Rochford in the three hundred years since. However, the late Lord Walter VII died at the old age of fifty seven leaving his wife and children behind. Lady Jane was said to be his daughter (some whisper that she is King Edwin's.) until her death in Sundaril after a failed attempt to assassinate the king there. Fate dealt a harder hand for Lady Mary as she was killed along with King Edwin during Lady Helen Arundel's madness. Their motto is “Fierce as Lions."

“Daughter of Constantine through his marriage to Elsa.”

the Noble House of Beaumont

The Beaumonts are the oldest of the houses and, in the past, have provided wives for the past princes and kings, lending them an air of authority. Their number has considerably dropped after the assassination of King Edwin, in which their family was implicated. They were kept either in house arrest or the Northern Tower for two months. Within the grasp of the Tower died the late duke, Richard, who was buried in an undisclosed location. Their cousin, Arthur, was beheaded for treason along with the new duke's sister, Helen Beaumont-Arundel. Because of these disgraces, they have since been seen as social pariahs and no one wants to truly associate with them, either openly or in private. Their motto is, "Gentle and Fair."

Duke Hector Beaumont

FORTY-ONE • JAKE GYLLENHAAL • SUBPLOT: SUBPLOT II, ACT X

Lady Ginevra Beaumont

FIVE• PLAYER'S CHOICE • SUBPLOT: NONE

“Daughter of Hector and Thomasin.”

the Lesser House of Beaumont

The Lesser House of Beaumont is a branch that sprouted off from the main tree, so to speak. When the late matriarch of the Beaumonts died, she willed that her second son Edwin would inherit her dowry estate of Asher, but only if he did not marry Felicity Byrd. Edwin dutifully married Anne Watermore, but continues his relationship with the scandalous ex-actress. Like the Beaumonts, their motto is, "Gentle and Fair."

Count Edwin Beaumont

THIRTY-NINE• JAMIE DORNAN • SUBPLOT: NONE

the Noble House of Arundel

The House of Arundel faced a very hard time when the Lord died unexpectedly in the middle of dinner. In retaliation, Helen struck back and murdered both the king and her own sister, who was his mistress. She was beheaded for treason and dragged the Beaumonts down with her. Her son is now struggling to rise in court after such a heavy blow. Ironically, their motto is, " The Most Loyal."

Duke Richard Arundel II

TWENTY-EIGHT• ADRIEN BRODY • SUBPLOT: SUBPLOT II, ACT II

TWENTY-SIX • AIDAN TURNER • SUBPLOT: SUBPLOT II, ACT I

“Believes the Arundel bloodline to be cursed and wishes to eradicate it.”

the Noble House of Watermore

The House of Watermore was destined to shine and succeed as it had the last one hundred years. However, upon the death of the current Marquess's brother from a horse fall and subsequent trample, the House of Watermore has lost its status as a rising house. With the ultra-religious and strict Henry Watermore at its head, it is quite ironic that his son and heir is a rumored libertine and, possible, bisexual! Because of his inability to change or deal with change, his wife, Katherine, finds him inflexible and cannot bring herself to love him, instead wasting all of her devotion and love on her last child: Henry II. Their (newly changed) motto is, "By God Alone."

Marquess Henry Watermore

FORTY-NINE• PLAYER'S CHOICE • SUBPLOT: NONE

“Being groomed for the priesthood.”

the Noble House of Cauldwell

The Noble House of Cauldwell has seen it's share of tragedies, but recently found themselves quite pleased when it's patriarch was able to secure a healthy, happy match for himself. Still, this leads others wondering what will become of his youngest brother and his foreign bride. Furthermore, the ill will towards the Sundrili is carrying over to Katherine Cauldwell, and though she's a good woman, her arrival never fails to cause stirs and spits in her direction. Their motto is "With Each Blow, I Grow Stronger."

Count Tyrone Cauldwell

the Noble House of Blackwood

The Blackwood family rose from the ashes after being accused of treason about two hundred years ago. Though there has been a few minor scrapes with the royal family recently about loyalty, the Blackwoods have managed to hold on to their title and their lands easily. After all, they are one of the richest families in Liston. The late Marquess managed to go through four wives in his lifetime. The first was the sister of the late Richard Beaumont. She died in childbirth. The second was barren and died of consumption. The third died after giving birth to twins and the fourth died recently, also in childbirth. The last one was seventeen when she died. Their motto: "Piety and Peace."

Marquess Thomas Blackwood

THIRTY-TWO• JONATHAN RHYS-MEYERS • SUBPLOT: SUBPLOT I, ACT III

However, like the Harts, they were rewarded for their bravery in battle and given land and a title as a result. Even more recently, they were raised to the title of Count upon helping the Queen Regent during her "Great Trouble" in 1033. Currently, they are pleased with what they have but who knows when ambition will strike? Their motto: “With Virtue and Valor."

Now on his deathbed, the wife that hated him is now desperately trying to keep him alive as long as possible for she fears the fire around the pole. Their motto is, "Straight and True."

Lower Listonese Nobility

the Noble House of Byrd

The House of Byrd has found itself in some strange places since it started in the late 900's. Not only was there massive spats of who got what, but documented proof has shown that one of the ladies of the house, a Felicity Byrd, worked as a prostitute-actress in Sundaril. Since then, the family's ties have found themselves severed as no one wants to be connected to such scandal. Their motto is, “Free in Spirit."

the Noble House of Buckingham

The Harley who saved him died on the scene, but the grateful King awarded the Barony to his son who upheld his father’s strict morals. The current Baron has raised his children into respectable citizens, much like the Harleys before him, and they seem unlikely to come across scandal.
