Help[Games] Re: ERB's KUY Congrats - Round 1 of 10: 16th Century Edition!

England, 1593
DH [32]: Desmond Malcolm MacShuibhne, 6th Earl of Essex (Nobility)
DW [25]: Gaenor Victoria (Cavendish) MacShuibhne (Landed gentry)
DS [8]: Philip Lawrence MacShuibhne
DD [5]: Rosalind Hester MacShuibhne
DD [3]: Margaret Ruth MacShuibhne
DD [nb]: Cecily Thomasin MacShuibhne
Being born as the oldest son of 5th Earl of Essex in 1561 Desmond's life was lined up already at the time of his birth, one day he would marry well, take over his father's title and run the family estates, a life full of luxury at that time. The first cracks to the perfect plan appeared already three years later when Desmond's mother and unborn twin brothers died in childbirth. His father decided to drown his sorrow in alcohol, not caring about his son and two daughters or any of his estates. During the twelve years of his escapades and neglect the estates have lost their value and so did the family name. When Desmond took over the family property as the 6th Earl of Essex at the tender age of fifteen it was clear that there was not much left of the once thriving family property and there were certainly no brides that would his late parents find suitable lined up waiting to marry him.
Unlike his father Desmond turned to hard work instead of alcohol. Rebuilding the estates to what they once were before was not an easy task, but he was determined to provide a good life for him, his sisters and as it later turned out also his family. The sixteen year old Gaenor Cavendish of the Cavendish Baronets, would be considered below his rank by his overly snobbish parents, but Desmond was not dividing people by their ranks but by their characters. Gaenor caught his eye immediately with her sweet nurturing personality and the same determintation that he possessed. He proposed mere two weeks after their first meeting and they were married within the next two months at his estate. The rumor mills were turning and the marriage had little to no support in the noble circles, as if the MacShuibhne's haven't been outcasts way before it happened. Neither of that bothered Desmond and Gaenor in their first happy days together, ten months after their whirlwind wedding they've been blessed with a son, Philip, who would one day take over the estates from his parents and three daughters Rosalind, Margaret and Cecily followed as the years rolled by. The MacShuibhne family thriving in all fields.
