Well, look what I'm doing for you. Also, author mistake, ignore more or less the whole last paragraph of Maid and Master.
First thing: there is a MASSIVE mistake in Maid and Master. Bella's first son's name changes, inexplicably, from Carlisle to James. I don't know what I was on, but I am sorry. His name is James, OK? My bad, I screwed it up, but there's no way to change it. I also said they have six kids, they only have four. To make everything less complicated I have listed the names of all Bella and Carlisle's children. Age order.
1. James - 16
2. Katherine - 14
3. Maria - 12
4. Emmett - 9
Below is a chronological account of the historical period we are in. Obviously, other stuff happened. This is the bare bones of it.
1547: Henry VIII dies, son Edward VI assumes the throne
1553: Edward VI proclaims Lady Jane Grey Queen. She rules for just nine days, before Mary usurps her
1553: Mary I becomes Queen of England
1554: Mary I marries King Philip of Spain
1558: Mary I dies, her sister Elizabeth I assumes the throne.
1588: The Spanish Armada tries to invade England, but fails
1603: Elizabeth I dies
Also, we have Bella and Carlisle's personal timeline. This took me HOURS to work out. Ages in brackets.
1515: Carlisle is born in England
1520: Bella is born in Spain.
1530: Bella (10) is smuggled to England, she becomes a servant to keep her identity hidden.
1536: Bella (16) is bedded by King Henry.
1536: Bella marries Carlisle Cullen
1537: James Carlisle Henry Cullen is born (Bella 17, Carlisle 22)
1538: The couple arrive in Spain, in January, after being banished from England. (Bella 18, Carlisle 23)
1539: Katherine Isabella Charlotte Cullen is born (Bella 19, Carlisle 24)
1540: Jasper Hale (Their friend) marries Amelia Jago, their Spanish maid.
1541: Maria Rosalie Alice Cullen born (Bella 21, Carlisle 26)
1544: Emmett Jasper Edward Cullen born (Bella 24, Carlisle 29)
1554: Mary I summons Bella and Carlisle back to England. (Bella 34, Carlisle 39)
OK, so, moving on. The actual story will unwind and so on, so the timeline stops where Maid and Master did, otherwise I shall ruin the story. This has been published as a separate chapter, because it is VITAL to the story. Like, of chapter-worthy value. It covers my characters and my plot. Therefore, I shouldn't get yelled at by because it is a chapter. Sort of. I know, I know. Author's who do this bug me too. But it is important! Sorry.
Anyway, I love you all, as you know, so I give you this.
The sequel to Maid and Master. Which I said I'd never do.
Which I'm now doing.
Damn…
I love you :)
