Stanleys! I am from Cheshire, so that is a given! I suppose I have lived in Northumberland most of my life, so I should have said Percy, but they always chose the wrong side in any fight, or so it seem to me! |
| All Sir Garnett | 17 Sep 2023 3:04 a.m. PST |
Yorkshireman so Scrope or Roos |
| Dagwood | 17 Sep 2023 4:02 a.m. PST |
My distant relatives Talbot or Fitzalan. |
| Martin Rapier | 17 Sep 2023 8:20 a.m. PST |
Pole, so I could ride with "The Swords of 1000 Men" with Eddy Tudor-Pole. |
| Deucey | 17 Sep 2023 2:24 p.m. PST |
If we're basing this on Kingmaker: Percy (100 knights and a cool looking shield) |
| DisasterWargamer | 17 Sep 2023 4:39 p.m. PST |
If going past Kingmaker – perhaps Woodville
Simnel
Warbek
Humfrey
Stillington
Catesby
or Shrewsbury |

Family from either Derbyshire, Hampshire, or Surrey— most likely Derbyshire. So whomever the gentility in these regions were with. (Though personally I favor York and Edward IV as having the better claim.) |

Not that one would be given much choice of course. Id say Stanley, as that family were the local bigwigs as Lords of Derby in the area where I grew up, part of their estate is Knowsley Safari Park. Ourlocal school did cross country runs on the estate though not through the bits where the lions lived. |

The winning side – changing as required, obviously. |

Stanley — had a knack for changing to the winning side! |
 Saber6  | 18 Sep 2023 2:47 p.m. PST |
Fitzalan always seems to end up in my hand |
| John the Red | 20 Sep 2023 2:24 p.m. PST |
Conyers – the most local to us and someone who appeared to have been loyal to various Kings and to survive and prosper also known locally for killing one of the NE's wyrms
Scrope is also not too far away, over in Bolton Castle, so he d be the Kingmaker choice

I should be part of the Courtenay supporters, originally coming from Devon but they seemed to have the unfortunate ability to be on the wrong side at the wrong time. I now have a tenuous link to Sir John Savage, via my Daughter-in-Law. He's a far more interesting character and no nonsense Soldier! link |

The Bourchier family survived the wars, and didn't get killed by Henry VII, so these look good. |
