Footnotes

1. Hilder's second wife.

2. Hilder's first wife is referred to as the "First Maiden" of the Torfolk in Sand Sister.

3. Fulk says he is "the younger son of Farthom in the northern hills" which makes it unclear if "Farthom" is his father's name or his family's home.

4. This was an Ax Marriage only and never consummated.

5. The brother of Lady Eldris, gave Clan Right back to Eldris after her affair with Hyron, fell in the Battle of Thos.

6. Died of fever after Thaney's birth

7. Who (or what…!) Ursilla brought to Heroise's bed to be the father of Aylinn is never mentioned and remains a mystery. One could speculate it might be Jakata the evil mage with steel coloured eyeballs from The Warding of the Witch World considering Ursilla's connection with Garth Howell but there is no evidence either way.

8. Ulric's second wife. See the footnote for Ulric.

9. In The Crystal Gryphon it is mentioned that Ulric "…had taken two ladies before my mother and had of them children. But the children had been either born dead or had quitted this world in their early years, sickly creatures one and all. He had sworn, however, to get him a true, heir, and so he set aside his second lady in favor of my mother when it seemed as if he would get no son of her." His first wife died in childbirth and the name of his second wife was Elva, as told in Of the Shaping of Ulm's Heir.

10. In a way, Kerovan has 3 fathers. With her spells, Lady Tephana attempted to have Galkur possess Ulric while they were conceiving Kerovan which gave Kerovan cloven feet however, this awoke Landisl who became Kerovan's spiritual father, giving him amber eyes.

11. In The Crystal Gryphon she is mentioned as widowed (p 25). In Heir Apparent it is mentioned that her first husband was her cousin and was heir to the House of Fortal (even though Fortal is the name of her father in The Crystal Gryphon (p 26).) Her husband, however, has brothers who want to rule instead (p 27). It is mentioned that both of Lady Tephana's parents died in a plague shortly after her birth.

12. Rogear is "cousin-kin" to Kerovan p.16 The Crystal Gryphon. He's from the Lady Tephana's side of the family.

13. Founded by Harb, who defeated the Demon of Irr Waste with a broken sword.

14. There was a child before Cyart, but it died.

15. younger sister

16. younger half-brother to Cyart

17. Cyart's Lady died without providing him an heir.

18. Math "…had been axe-wed… to a lord of the south. But before he could claim her, the news came that he had died of a wasting fever."

19. "Yngilda… goes to one already wed once, a man old enough to be her father…" Presumably his first lady gave him no male heirs or he'd be risking trouble by remarrying.

20. There is no reference to any children of Brunissende and Elyn, but there is no reason to think they don't have any, either.

21. There is supposedly a curse on the line that every fourth generation one of the sons of the line will be evil and desire women whether they want him or not.

22. Third son to the lord of Paltendale who raped Meive's ancestor.

23. In the book it is mentioned Hogeth has a pregnant wife who would be better off without him.

24. Cadet branch of Paltendale

25. Two of Lorcan's older siblings die before he is born. When, exactly, they were born is not mentioned, but Merrion is seven years older than Loran and Anla is only three, so there could easily have been at least one between Merrion and Anla.

26. Landale officially. Founded by the younger son of a lord four generations before. p51 Silver May Tarnish

27. Meive is pregnant by the end of the book and expecting by next summer.

28. Meive's older brother

29. The heir. Dies, along with his father, during Invasion, fighting the Hounds of Alizon.

30. It's not entirely clear if Yaal and Broc are actually married.

31. In Amber Out of Quayth Ysmay notes there is a very strong resemblance between Broc and Hylle. It's entirely possible the two may be twin brothers.
