Castle Du Montagne, in Avalon, by the seneschal
Marcus. Beatrice was to join them in exile later
and Percival was sent away to school. Francis,
however, remained with his father.
Madelaine married Lord Robert Falcon and came
to Albion leaving the wicked uncle John Falcon
behind in Avalon in 1101AF.
Since Roberts death in 1103AF, Madelaine has
been the head of House Falcon holding it for their
daughters Eleanor and Bethany, much to the chagrine
of John who believes he should be Lord Falcon.

York, the duchy previously being held by her husband,
however she remains residing in Warwick the ancestral
home of the house.
Madelaine currently acts as a champion of The
Mother after agreeing to foster the ancester when
she was reborn. She also fosters and teaches many
of Albions children and enjoys music, art and
tapestry.
Obituaries
In York there grew the whitest rose,
The fairest in the land
But darkness fell and our rose withered
And now weeping we all stand
Our tears they fall on barren ground
As Autumn's chill wind blows
We gather strength in Cathol's sight
As our awful pain he knows.
Spring will come, and light, and love
We will build anew
The rose will bloom again my friends
This I promise you.
A noble dedicated woman, who loved her people and the whole of Albion
above all things. It is perhaps fitting that she should die acting in
their protection, but it does not make her loss any less easy to bear.
She was always good and kind to me, would always listen when perhaps
others wouldn't have. She never judged me either, when I know others
have.
I will miss her counsel, her smiles, and her laughter. May the Dragon
watch over her.
