Eyes: Gorgeous blue
Hair: Golden Blonde
Age: 18

Margaret is a 19 year old lady in waiting and cousin to Helena Tullyrand. She is clever and quite brave as well as a gifted horse rider. She is popular at court for her sharp wit and skill at dancing, she isn't very practical though and intellectually not that educated, suffering from a typical C17th ladies education, consisting of needlework and singing. She has a very pretty voice, vicious temper and is given to pouting, especially if she doesn't get her cups of tea. Margaret is quite vocal whilst in the throes of passion, making it difficult to have sneaky coitus with her.

Places



Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, 12 miles (19 kilometres) southwest and upstream of central London on the River Thames.

The building of the palace began in 1514 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the chief minister of Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the king to try to save his own life, which he knew was now in grave danger due to Henry VIII's deepening frustration and anger. The palace went on to become one of Henry's most favoured residences; soon after acquiring the property, he arranged for it to be enlarged so it could accommodate his sizeable retinue of courtiers.

In the early 1690s, William III's massive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival the Palace of Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace. His work ceased in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque. While the palace's styles are an accident of fate, a unity exists due to the use of pink bricks and a symmetrical, if vague, balancing of successive low wings. George II was the last monarch to reside in the palace.



The Mitre Inn,

In 1633, there were three inns adjacent to each other on the east side of the High Street: the Rose (kept by Robert Briscoe), the Crown, and a wine tavern known as the Man. In 1663, they joined to become the Man and Rose and Crown. In 1667, the inn became The Rose and Crown and Mitre, and simply the Mitre soon after. The Mitre primarily catered for the large number of stage coaches that passed through Chipping Barnet each day and a War Office survey of 1756 reported that it could provide 12 beds and stabling for 26 horses.

The name "Mitre" has traditionally been used to suggest affinity with the established church and the Mitre Inn is overlooked by Chipping Barnet's St John the Baptist Church (1560) in the diocese of Diocese of St Albans. Vestry accounts record that in 1720 ten shillings was spent at the Mitre entertaining the Archdeacon of St Albans plus sixpence for a new chamberpot.



Rivers hunting Lodge:

The lodge was modest in size, dated back to the Tudor era. Vines climbed up the sides and the surrounding areas foliage was overgrown. The place was rarely used except as a base for Matthew and Oliver's highway men activities.



The River's Manor

The Tudor era building was covered in ivy and the facade being to crumble. The plants in the court yard were over grown and spreading rapidly as the gardens had been one of the first staff members to be let go. A few of the windows were cracked or broken and the whole estate had an aura of former grandeur that had long since vanished.

Reni's OCs


Name: Helena Tullyrand
Height: 5'4
Eyes: warm honey brown
Hair: Auburn
Age: 19


Helena is a 19 year old lady at the court of Queens Anne. She is the daughter of a viscount who has ambitions for her to make a good match At court. But Helena is far more interested in intellectual pursuits rather than dancing and flirting, much to her father's dismay. Though she was taught all the skills typical for a woman of the time such as needle work, singing, and dance, her tutor discovered how bright she was and continued her education far beyond what was deemed appropriate. She has an appetite for romantic fiction that is likely to land her in trouble one of these days...



Name: Matthew Lawrence, Earl Of Rivers
Height: 5'10"
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Dark brown
Age: 25

Matthew was never meant to be the earl of Rivers. Born a second son he was meant prepared for a life in the military and was good at what he did. But when both his father and older brother died suddenly he was left with not only the title Earl of River but the failing estate and his brother's gambling debts that went with it. When the money ran out he could think of only one way to keep his estate running and his tenants from starving and that way by the sword. He turned to being a highway man just to make ends meet. But when he hatches, a plan to kidnap and ransom to young ladies he quickly finds he has bitten more off then he can chew.
