DescriptionsEdit Descriptions

Sir Robert Carey is a younger son of Henry Carey, Baron Hunsdon, who was a first cousin of Elizabeth I through her maternal aunt Mary Boleyn.  Rumor has it that he is also her half-brother through her father Henry VIII .  Having little in the way of an inheritance and forever in debt, as the series opens Sir Robert Carey is off to the West Marches to make his fortune as Deputy Warden to his brother-in-law Lord Scrope.The short story is placed chronologically, rather than by publication date. It takes place during the reign of James VI and I. (English, Unclassified)
