Story
Richard Bennett and Anne Wood were married in 1328. They lived and raised their children on the Bennett family farm. Richard tried to take over the farm work after his mother and step-father died, but could never much get over his distaste for the work. He had no interest in other work or personal passions, so stuck with begrudgingly managing the farm as minimally as possible. 
Anne, however, was passionate about painting and the family became quite prosperous due to her efforts. Anne and Richard actually met through Anne being mentored in painting by Richard's mother, Agnes.
Anne had no great interest in having a large family, but felt the pressure to have at least enough children to carry on the family legacy. She was not an uncaring mother by any means, and became closer with her children as they aged. Richard also engaged with the children in his own way, but his tendency to avoid much responsibility persisted in this area too.
This second generation of the Bennett family lived during the Hundred Years' War and miraculously (as of current writing - year 1356), none of the men were drafted. 
As the eldest son, Thomas was selected as heir; he married Leticia Taylor and had two sons, Warin and Henricus. Thomas and Leticia were completely in love. 
In 1347, Joan married Adam Beckett, a wealthy business man with whom she had nothing in common. Joan was miserably married, and developed a deep friendship with Leticia who always supported her. In 1348, the plague took the lives of Thomas and Leticia as well as their only surviving son, Henricus. Joan's husband Adam also died of the plague, leaving a heavily pregnant Joan alone. Joan's son Galfridus was born in 1348 and after a brief mourning period, Joan has been quietly raising her son with the large inheritance left by her late husband.
Ida, seeking a suitable marriage partner, grew into quite the socialite. She was rewarded for her efforts when she caught the eye of her now husband, Duke Charles Grantworth. Ida continued to enjoy frequent social gatherings, both hosting and attending all throughout her life.
Due to the deaths of the intended heir (Thomas) and his children, Denis Bennett was declared the heir. He and his children would be the next generation to carry on the Bennett family name and legacy.
