The night crept into the bedchamber, moonlight inching its way to the Baroness. The water was quiet as a stone that night, still and unassuming as the Chateau had gone into her nightly slumber. Somewhere, a candle flickered out and servants were cleaning up porcelain china from the night before. She heard the clatter, the clutter, the clinking and clashing of plates, knowing all too well what was to come soon. Henri hadn’t yet returned home, and somewhere down the hall, Catherine and Henriette were gossiping. It was an unceremonious day followed by an unceremonious night.

ISSUED by HOUSE DE LEWES, 1978

 

It is with deep distress that the House de Lewes announces the passing of their matriarch, Amelia Paulina Ashford de Lewes, born Amelia Paulina Varoche in 1892. She succumbed to a severe case of the flu in 1976, two years prior to today's announcement. Amelia is survived by six children, and sixteen grandchildren, including that of the House von Alstreim and House de Ardennes, formerly Haverlock.

 

Born in 1892 to Sigismond Varoche and Ipera de Falstaff, Amelia grew up in the quaint Duchy of Adria under the Duke Heinrik Sarkozic. At the start of Heinrik’s rebellion, Amelia fled to the capital of Aaun, then New Vienne, and then to Minitz. Following the war, she wed Fernand Ashford de Lewes in 1928 and sired six children with him, Henri, Jean-Paul, Louis Antoine, Anne, Laurene, and Margot-Lucilla. Henri wed Katharina of Velen, Laurene wed the Prince of Merryweather and Margot the Count of Talentine. Amelia peacefully passed in her sleep, aged 84.
