I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR ABOUT 5-6 yeeears. AND MY OTHER CHARACTERS WOULD BE Rose THE CODE WORD IS YOU CAN’T MAKE ME WANT TO REACH ME? HERE'S MY IM: You stalker, you. [/align]Lord and Lady Braose. Thomas de Braose was a man of business, a man who was distinctly proud of his distant French heritage and someone whom held his family at a distance in order to complete his duties without disappointment. Emma de Braose married her husband as a dedicated Catholic woman of England, a woman who knew and respected her place. The both of them formed a marriage that was of complete political consequence. It was of arrangement and at the ripe age of nineteen; quite conventional for their era. The Braose family grew with the birth of five children. In the year of 1479, a healthy son was born, who was appropriately named Thomas after his father. Soon after, in the year of 1480, Elizabeth was brought into the world- though the Baron de Braose was disappointed at the arrival of a female, there was a hidden potential there in her prospect of marriage. Ambrose followed thereafter, in the year 1482. Then, in the hot summer of 1486, William was born. And finally, Mary, four years after. William de Braose’s life formed the epitome of privilege. However, as the last son of the Baron Braose, it appeared less privileged than his brothers. Although the Lord Braose kept himself estranged from his family, it seemed that the Baron kept a keen eye on his eldest son, Thomas, a lesser eye on Ambrose, and hardly a second-glance upon William. The man was thorough with elaborating on his expectations of his two elder sons, and as William observed the –although lesser- form of attention in the darker isolation of shadows; a small jealousy brewed. This jealousy formed as William’s drive in his education, in his politics, in his goals and ambitions. Though William achieved at an equal rate of his brother’s, the recognition that they were granted, it seemed William was deprived of. When William reached the age of twelve, his father suffered what he might have considered a set-back in his ambitions. As a gripping sickness struck the household, it swept over in a matter of days; claiming the lives of a few servants, and to Thomas de Braose’s distress, it also robbed that of his eldest son and daughter. It was a trigger of mourning, and the Lady Braose had become convinced that it was punishment. In result, the woman and mother perished from her own self-inflicted malnourishment, along with her two children, mere months later. Though it was considered a great loss for the family, William had followed his father’s footsteps in the aspect of alienating himself from that of his kin, and was stoic against the effect. Though it would have been told as a great falsehood to claim that William did not feel –although against his preference- in regards to the three deaths; the young Master redirected his effort of indifference into that of what was required of him. Into that of what William needed to. To achieve higher than the others, with or without the promise of his father’s barony, for William would be beyond that. Beyond all of it. As a young man, growing from twelve to eighteen, William worked with determination in order to sufficiently educate himself in all aspects vital for a young man; which preceded him from Master to knighthood; indulging into the escape of battle, alongside his brother and current heir, Ambrose. At the age of nineteen, William was arranged in marriage to a woman of nobility: Avis Mordaunt, the daughter of the Baron Mordaunt. She was pleasing to the eye, and able to reach a specific satisfaction as a woman. However, William carried through with the union in regards for his father’s approval –a thing he had deemed impossible to achieve- when, quite evidently, his true feelings were associated with that of disgust. William had no appreciation of the marriage, but carried his duty well; furious that his father had not allowed him to choose his own wife. It had been a position William had wished to use to his own political advantage, and the Baron Braose had erased all of hope of that. The marriage between William and Avis proved to be something quite short as his wife fell pregnant in the early months. Having done her duty well, William then invested his time into other projects of more importance until the birth of his child. For example; meetings, gaining favor of the king and other frugal forms of entertainment … which included other women. Even when Avis learned of her husband’s unruly behavior, she was a dedicated Catholic woman, and knew her place well enough not to question him. Her maidservants claimed that, as Avis de Braose was taken to childbed in the year of 1505, and ‘blessed’ the marriage with William’s son; she died because of her lack of enthusiasm to continue on with such an unfaithful, estranged, and sometimes cruel husband. So when William began to show interest in his son, Adrian, most were perturbed by the sudden change in behavior. Though William had followed his father’s example by holding himself at a distance from his family; the knight finally revealed indications of humanity by doting on his child with the only sliver of kindness deep within him. For some years after; William continued onto further independence, providing for his child and implanting ideas in his head. For that child would grow, as would his ambitions, his achievements, and perhaps finally William had found pride in something other than himself. Thomas de Braose, Baron Braose perished from the cold of winter in the year of 1510; plagued by that of his own diminishing health. Though William, more or less, detested his father, a small burning fire had blazed from the time he was born to that very day. So now that it could never be eased with the calm of William’s achievements, of the confrontation he had worked so hard on, that Thomas de Braose was dead along with the knight’s chance … it caused the man to become furious. For an amount of time, William retreated to the estate which Ambrose was now of charge; where his son remained. There was very little said of what occurred in those darker stages. But, finally, some months later, the world of William de Braose altered greatly. Ambrose de Braose fell in battle to the French, his own ancestors. And as a man unmarried, although betrothed to a woman William had not cared to meet, and a man childless, the Barony fell to the next male kin. William. And so, William de Braose, Baron Braose, had finally reached the title of his father. And with great spite, the man viewed his father as a sad creature. That the two sons he had concentrated on had both perished, and the one he had disrespected, had neglected, had now maintained the family’s barony. But William had convinced himself as a young child to achieve beyond that. It was merely the beginning. |
