+ | ====== Lady Kathryn of Basingstoke | ||
+ | The only child of Lord Henry Basingstoke, | ||
+ | whittling enthusiast, Lady Kathryn spent a sheltered childhood | ||
+ | frolicking on the family estate. It was during this time that she | ||
+ | gained her vast knowledge of animal husbandry, which, along with her | ||
+ | own widely acclaimed whittling prowess, are perhaps her most famous | ||
+ | accomplishments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At sixteen, Lady Kathryn was wed to Vlad, a distant cousin discovered | ||
+ | by Lord Henry whilst researching the Romanian branch of the Basingstoke | ||
+ | family tree. The weeklong festivities of their wedding were celebrated | ||
+ | throughout England and marred only by the unfortunate and still | ||
+ | unexplained disappearance of three of her seven bridesmaids. Despite | ||
+ | the rather uncivil hours her husband kept, Lady Kathryn enjoyed married | ||
+ | life with the Count, spending her time performing charitable works for | ||
+ | gypsies and gathering material for her seminal volume `The Breeding of | ||
+ | Bats'. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sadly, Vlad died after tripping and falling on a collection of tent | ||
+ | pegs whittled by Lady Kathryn for families affected by the Great Gypsy | ||
+ | Caravan Fire of 18--. Lady Kathryn returned home to Basingstoke, | ||
+ | her Romanian Adventure (as this early period of her life is now often | ||
+ | referred) instilled a love of travel and adventure satisfied only by | ||
+ | frequent visits to far off places. | ||
