Personae and Heraldry
In persona, Emelyn and Gregory are playing as Lincolnshire folk of exactly 700 years ago, which makes this 1314 for them. Their aesthetic and historical touchstone is the Luttrell Psalter.
Emelyn was born in Cambridge to a lay astronomer and his wife. Gregory is the second son of a Knight Hospitaller who disappeared shortly after settling his family in recently-conquered Wales. After working all his life to become a priest, Gregory dropped out of his schooling just weeks shy of receiving tonsure in order to marry Emelyn instead. Fleeing north from the ensuing scandal, they ended up in Lincoln. There they earned the favor and patronage of a vicar at the great Cathedral, who now employs Gregory as a clerk, courier, and tutor. Emelyn helps with these tasks on occasion, and otherwise is kept busy by running her household, finding a few spare moments here and there to draw, play her pipe, or privately study heraldry.
In the society, Emelyn bears "Purpure, two bendlets Or," and her badge is three gold maple leaves. Gregory's device is "Vert, a key cross argent," with labels added to represent their sons. The family also shares a rampant gold hedgehog with a collection of fancy red hats named Spitty.
