The "Laurel Dynasty" of Hirsch and Aldith


This is really meant to be a joke, so please don't take it seriously (although attempts have been made to get the information provided as accurate as possible) ...

Explanation:
As time moves forward, it can be seen that a Dynasty of Laurels is occurring, starting with Hirsch von Henford (never apprenticed) and Aldith Angharad St. George (apprenticed to Gaius Marcellus Libris Auklandis for a short time, then formally "released" to Alison von Markheim - not currently active).

Master Hirsch and Mistress Aldith took on apprentices -- Juan Santiago and Rose de Le Mans, who have since become Laurels. And now they have taken on apprentices ... so as you can see, a dynasty is now forming, and so it was felt that perhaps a family "tree" might be appropriate.

One further note: this does not include the many Laurels who are friends, but are not directly part of the lineage shown below. That would get pretty crazy, pretty quickly ...



Footnotes:
While I couldn't get Visio (which is what I used to create the image above) to do superscripts, the footnotes below should hopefully help explain some of the things that might not be really obvious.

Those in the chart above who have been Laurelled have a blue background with white text, those with a white background and black text have not (yet) been Laurelled.

1 Duquessa Juana has had many (many) apprentices over the years, and this is not about her legacy, but about ours. So there. If she wants to put something like this together to track all of her apprentices and former apprentices, more power to her. <g>

2 Gaius was apprenticed to Juana, and after being Laurelled took Aldith on as apprentice. Aldith was released for whatever reason from apprenticeship to Gaius, and was "transferred" to Alison ... Alison was the person to whom she was apprenticed at the time she was made a Laurel.

3 Released without prejudice, Alicianne and Daemus were released when Hirsch moved to the central part of the West Kingdom from Oertha. Having "long-distance" apprentices didn't make much sense. This was amicable, although Hirsch didn't think about this until after moving, and had to be reminded by his now former apprentices (d'oh!).

4 Juan and Rose were apprenticed to both Hirsch and Aldith at the same time for the duration of their apprenticeships.

5 Ghislaine and Bruce concluded their arrangement as apprentice/Laurel in 1999. That was all amicable, and they're still good friends ...
