The main body of the saga takes place in the 1970s and 80s, but the family has history stretching back to the Norman Conquest (with a 'period of obscurity' from the early 1200s to the mid 1300s). The main periods I need to check are around 1470/1 (when William, who later became the 1st Duke of the original foundation, meets the exiled Edward IV in Burgundy) and during the interegnum (when Rupert, who later became the 1st Duke of the second foundation, was transporting wool and information to the exiled Charles II in the Low Countries).
This information is all going to be very vital to the young Viscount Ashover, who is on a treasure hunt during his school holidays.
