(Round 1: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4962388)
(Round 2: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4962918)
(Round 3: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4963141)So I updated the title, because we're in the 1600s now. But it's Round 4! And it's 1608, so go ahead and age everyone up five years. You'll need dice from here: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htmRelationshipsFirst, roll a d-4 for any relationships. If the result is a 3, the couple is no longer together, due to death or divorce / annulment / separation.Next, for everyone over 55 or under 10, roll a d-10. If the results are 8, 9, or 10, then the person is no longer living.After that, roll a d-10 for every single person 18 and over:If the person is 18-25, any score from 6 to 10 is a relationship (you decide if married, betrothed, or courting).
If the person is 26-35, any score from 4 to 10 is a relationship.
If the person is 35+, any score from 5 to 10 is a relationship.ChildrenAny children born this round should be under 5 years old. Roll a d-20 to determine the number:For a potential mother aged 18-23: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 children
For a potential mother aged 24-34: 1-5 is no children, 6-8 is 1 child, 9-14 is 2 children, 15-20 is 3 children
For a potential mother aged 35-45: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 childrenNamebanksRoll a d-10 to determine names.Name:1. Roger Félix Théodore Émilien Gaspard Florent Olivier Anatole Édouard Hadrien / Pascaline Arielle Bertille Geneviève Régine Nicole Solène Dominique Émilienne Ernestine

She was sitting in a tree, camouflaged by the leaves and he was climbing the tree. He stepped on her hand. He apologized. She was smitten. She struck up a conversation. He invited her home for tea.
They dated for a year and got married in the winter. Becky was born only a couple months after the wedding, which didn't surprise anyone.
They have 4 children now: Becky, Rachel, Kaleb, and Joy.
When we last saw Gris, her execution was approaching, and her husband and his family were plotting to break her out.
At first they didn't know what to do. They considered building a tunnel, but it would take forever. They didn't have any better ideas, though, so they reluctantly set to work. (Eira, being pregnant, stayed home.)
But as soon as they had dug down, they saw that someone else had had the same idea and dug a tunnel already. It seemed like a long-term project; the tunnel was about as wide as a tall person lying down and big enough that they only had to duck a little.
The tunnel let out in the prison, but nowhere near Gris's cell. It was night and most of the guards were asleep. They wandered around the prison, looking for Gris, and had a few close calls with guards, but eventually found Gris without being noticed.

They marry, and a year later, welcome a son, Anthony Felix. He frequently is referred to as Felix so as to not confuse him with his father. Shortly after Felix is born, Chloe and Peter welcome another son, Clement, whom William deemed "Clem" early on, and it stuck. Felix and Clem are quite possibly the closest of the cousins, closer even than William and Damon, who are as thick as thieves. Enoch was born nearly a year later, and was a very fussy baby, so no one really knows what possessed Phoebe and Conor to want another, but they finally got Phoebe's much-wanted little girl, Mabel, who is much less fussy than Enoch was. And then little Theodore was born! Keeping with nicknaming tradition, Clem began calling him Theo, and when asked why, replied that "Theodore is too long, and too hard to say."

Philip's wife Martha passed away following the difficult birth of their second child leaving him alone to care for their two kids. Her younger sister Frances offered to help Philip with Horace and Philippa, a help that he gladly accepted. One thing led to another and the two of them were married shortly after first anniversary of Martha's death. Not long after their wedding Desmond passed away peacefully in his sleep, Philip becoming the 7th Earl of Essex and taking over the family estates determined to make his late father proud. While there was no suitable groom found for Rosalind yet, Margaret got married shortly after her sixteenth birthday to an Austrian-Italian noble Alessandro d'Este, the couple lives in Paris where they raise their son Nicodème. Meanwhile the family estate in England gained two more pairs of little feet after Frances gave birth to a daughter named Lavinia eighteen months ago and a son named Humphrey two months ago.

In the period following, Simon started to distance himself from Joan. He worked longer, stayed out later, and hardly ever saw Joan let alone the kids. And Joan hated it. Absolutely despised it. She lived and breathed for their family, loved Simon with every fiber of her being, more than she thought possible. But Simon kept pushing her away. When he did come home, he was almost always drunk and Simon was not your happy drunk. He came home in a tizzy, temperamental and as changeable as the weather. Joan tolerated things for a couple of years. She figured maybe Simon needed his space. She figured he needed time to grieve. She figured maybe he started feeling cooped up at home with their remaining two kids and a wife clamoring for his atttention. They did start their family very quickly. Maybe he just hadn't had time to adjust. She tolerated him even when he began to hit her.Joan's last straw came when he hit Tobias. The sound of Simon's arrival had woken the boy up. Following the commotion, Tobias saw his father swing at his mother and, the blood of his courageous family running through his veins, the boy stepped in to save his mother. Simon's hand cracked against the boy's cheek. Joan threw Simon out that night.Shortly after, Joan met the dashing Lorenzo Fontana. A widower with a daughter about the age Annice would have been, Lorenzo understood the pain Joan must be feeling. Before she had officially divorced Simon, Joan began seeing Lorenzo, the two getting caught up in each other. The minute the divorce was finalized, Joan, in an act of insane courage, asked Lorenzo if he would marry her. He agreed, gushing about how he had held the same plans. Before any marriage plans could be made, Joan gave birth to her daughter with Lorenzo. Líadan is a favorite with all of her family, grandfather and grandmother included.

Owen Priddy remembered his father-in-law telling him, quite vulgarly, "If she breed not, send her back." Of course, Owen never even considered such a thing. But it would've been nice if Master Streete had advised them on what to do when their sons died before their fifth birthdays. Little Ezekiel's death after a bout of convulsions absolutely destroyed Viola. And one day Owen walked into their bedroom, in the middle of the day, to see his wife lying down, stone cold, an empty phial next to her. Owen got rid of the evidence to cast doubt upon her taking her own life, thus enabling her to have a Christian burial. Since then he has tried to push forward as the head of his house, amidst a legal battle with his in-laws over retaining Viola's dowry, since she has no surviving sons. Hester and "Prissy" (Orpha) fear their father might slip away, just like their mother and brother Ezekiel (neither remembers Simon).Ben, meanwhile, was dealt a blow four years ago. Just when he and his new wife, Lydia, were settling into a nice rhythm, her pregnancy turned disastrous. She died from severe dehydration, leaving him alone - which he remained for years, helping his brother Nat with the business. But eyes from on high notice a successful family sooner or later, and that is how Ben met a young lady from the French branch of the Medici family: Dame Dominique de'Medici. When he first saw her, he couldn't believe she was real. This was, as Marlowe once famously put it, the face that launched 1000 ships. Not coming from a particularly religious family, he had no qualms about courting a Catholic, which launched him to the top of Dominique's suitors list.
