Seamus O'Caelligh
Background
I am His Lordship Seamus O'Caellaigh from the Shire of Tymberhavene. I was born 1513 and raised in Clogh Shiúrdáin (Cloughjordan) Ireland, of which the river Ballyfinboy runs through. link title My father was a land holder and we were fairly well off, however I was one of my father's youngest sons, so I was kind of left to my own devices. My mother was English and was visiting cousins on the Emerald Isle when she met my Father and they fell in love. I moved to England and became apprenticed to my mother's brother. I live in a Kingdom ruled by King Henry VIII.
