Duke of Moreland

**Percival St. Stephens Tiberius Joachim Windham** is the current **Duke of Moreland**. He is the father of ten children, and is determined to get grandchildren as soon as possible. He is devoted to his Duchess, Esther Louise Windham (neé Himmelfarb).

As a young man, Percy served his country as an officer in the Canadian campaigns during the reign of King George III. Percy is a skilled politician but has no head for numbers, a weakness that his first governess, Mrs. Wood, did not correct.

Percy's obsessive concern for the succession to the dukedom began with his mother, Duchess Agatha Venetia Drysdale Windham. Her firstborn son died as a child. She grimly pursued bearing additional heirs, and was determined that they produce future heirs. Her eldest son Peter sired only two daughters in ten years of marriage. The Duchess turned her focus on getting her two younger sons, Percy and Anthony, wed and producing grandchildren.

While Percy and Esther began filling their nursery with sons, Percy's younger brother Anthony and his wife Gladys produced four daughters.

Thus, the obligation of the ducal succession fell squarely on Percy's sons. His oldest legitimate child, Bartholomew Windham, died in a brawl in Portugal. His son Victor Windham died of consumption. This made Percy more obsessed with getting his heir, Westhaven, married and producing grandchildren.

The Dorning Siblings

The Dorning Siblings are the impecunious children of the late Earl of Casriel. Due to their preoccupied father's love of botany, they are all named after plants. All of the family members have distinctive violet eyes, in various shades. Their stories are primarily told in The True Gentlemen Series.

## First marriage

 Willow | Susannah Haddonfield | Will's True Wish | 2016
 Jacaranda | Worth Kettering | Worth, Lord of Reckoning | 2014

## Earl's affair with Lady Fairchild

Catherine Fairchild's illegitimate heritage is unfortunately revealed by her distinctive Dorning eyes. Lady Fairchild's diplomat husband was posted overseas when she met the old Earl of Dorning, who was in mourning for his first wife. Catherine's age relative to the other Dornings is unclear, but it seems unlikely that the old Earl sired her at that time. It's more likely that the affair occurred later, during the Earl's marriage to Francine. Catherine was lovingly raised by Lady Fairchild and the Baron.

## Family history

The old Earl's youngest brother was notoriously friendly, whereas their middle brother was moodier. The earl knew that the limited means of the earldom would not extend to raising a family, and never intended to marry, but he did, and Grey Birch was born seven months later. The Earl's first wife bore him two more children before she died in a boating accident. mourning period, the Earl strode the hillsides and became friends with Lady Fairchild, whose husband, diplomat Baron Fairchild, was posted overseas. Then the Earl married Francine, ostensibly to mother his children. However, she bore him six more.

They worked at the marriage, although Francine was unhappy with their limited means and so many children. She strayed at least once. The Dorning siblings suspect that she had an affair with their paternal uncle, and that Hawthorne Dorning was the result.

Francine was not given to much mothering, and managing the household fell to Jacaranda. Eventually Jacaranda left and went into service, saying that if she had to be a housekeeper, she'd prefer to get paid for it.

Five years later, Francine was fed up with the household and decamped to Bath, where she remarried. She passed away several years later.

**Maximus Adolphus Haddonfield**  is the youngest Haddonfield son. He is devoted to science, and is notorious for "blowing things up." He studied at Cambridge, and his research is now devoted to leavening bread. He has a hobby of rehabilitating stray cats and placing them in libraries as mousers.

He is referred to as Adolphus in some of the novels and on the family tree in the Lonely Lords graphic. He admits his full name in My Own True Duchess. In the "Kisses and Catnip" novella, he is only identified as Maximus. He says he went by his middle name as a youth, shunning the name Maximus due to his large older brothers. He eventually outgrew two of them, only being shorter than the family giant, Nicholas.

Nicholas is considered a giant of a man, topping 6'6", but he is gentle and kind. He avoided serious relationships (because he did not want to sire children, but refused to explain why - see spoilers.)

## Spoilers

(Click expand to see spoilers for Nicholas, Lord of Secrets)

Nicholas had two erroneous reasons against siring children. The first is that he believed that his mother died in childbirth because he was such a large baby. However, his mother actually died during her second pregnancy. Secondly, he was worried that his children might be mentally disabled, like his daughter Leonie. It turns out that Leonie was normal until she was a toddler, when she got a terrible fever. The illness caused permanent brain damage.

Nicholas and Beck weren't just taking a break from town and allowing Beck to regain his health. Loris Tanner's mother was a Haddonfield relative. Tanner arranged for the Haddonfields to "watch over" Loris while he disappeared. So they knew he was alive but let Loris worry and work to support herself.

Miss Dignified

Miss Dignified is the third book in the Mischief in Mayfair series by Grace Burrowes.  It is a regency romance published in 2022.

### Back Cover Summary

Lydia Lovelace has taken the housekeeper’s post in the home of Captain Dylan Powell. The captain is short on charm, but he’s known for his rapport with, and support of, former soldiers trying to make a peacetime life in London. Unbeknownst to the captain, Lydia is searching for a brother who never came home after Waterloo, a brother whose birthright, along with Lydia’s settlements, is being frittered away by scheming family members.

Dylan has never viewed his home as much more than a place to take meals and sleep out of the wet while he tries to find paying work and good positions for his former subordinates. The new housekeeper is changing all of that, bringing comfort and tranquility to Dylan’s domicile and to his days. When Dylan and Lydia begin to explore pleasures shared in the night, Lydia realizes she will have to choose between loyalty to a long-lost brother, and a future with the very man who might have sent that brother into hiding.

Sixtus Hargrave Carrington

**Sixtus Hargrave Carrington** (or Hargreaves) was the extremely elderly distant cousin of Joseph Carrington. Their family was connected to a barony which had been in abeyance for several centuries. Each man had enough claim to petition for the title. However, neither man really wanted it, and neither man had a son who could inherit the title. So, each of them held off petitioning for the title so that the other man had a chance at it.

Sixtus was a canny investor and had amassed a great deal of wealth. He left money to Joseph, and to his devoted young wife, Penelope Carrington.
