in reply to a message by AnnaMarie
Before I start, let me just warn you... history is NOT my best subject. I tried to look on the internet to find information on the roles of the duke and duchess but found nothing, so please alert me to any inconsistencies and, if you know what the roles and responsibilities of duke and duchess are, please feel free to PM me. Thanks! :)

UN: Roseth Helcië
Surname: Proulx
DH: Absalon Gustave Proulx (21)
DW: Pénélope Felícita Proulx "Penny" (18)
Station: Watchman and Barber
-----
Absalon arrived at King Leopold's castle when he was 17 in search of a job by which to provide for his elderly parents, who were too weak to support themselves. Needless to say, the King was extremely cautious about placing a peasant boy in charge of anything important around the Castle, so he was assigned to the stables. He stayed content with the poor living conditions, long hours, and low pay, and his potential remained unnoticed for years. However, two years later, after rescuing the King's prized mare after it broke loose, the King finally realized that Absalon could do more, and he was re-assigned as an apprentice to a highly thought-of and skilled watchman. After only a year of apprenticeship, Absalon became a watchman himself.
Soon after that, Pénélope arrived at the castle, also looking for work. She requested permission to become the King's personal barber, and was denied the permission promptly. However, it soon came to light that Pénélope (aka Penny), was a distant relative of the Queen herself. Penny got the job, and works for a slightly lower salary than Absalon.
They met, fell in love, and were married. They both live in servants' quarters inside the castle with several other servants, so they don't have much privacy. However, they are very happy and still work as watchman and barber.

Doesn't need to be all that historically accurate - the joy of settling our game in a place that doesn't exist... ah creative liberties...
