Notes
a. Note:   The beautiful and amazing heiress who was a descendant of the kings of Avenwell.
  She married Frank Avenwell, (the sole heir to the Avenwell side of the families' fortune at the deaths of his parents and grandparents.) At their wedding, King George gave them the lands and Latham Castle on Rundangh Island—the inheritance that his mother, Nellie, turned down. He also gave them their titles, Duke and Duchess of Rundangh.
  At his death, Frank's fortune was left to his wife, Mary, who had already inherited 1/4 of the Cooke side of the families' fortune, making her the most wealthy and powerful woman in the world.
  Mary had a secret that she protected for sixty years, passing it along, (by way of a book of love poems,) to her granddaughter, Faith Avenwell.
