Help[Games] ERB's KUY Congrats - Round 2 of 10: 16th Century Edition!
(Round 1: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4962388)
Round 2, here we go! It is 1598, so age everyone up five years. You'll need dice from this site: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
Events (optional)
If you wish, roll a d-10 to determine a significant event befalling your family:
1-6. No Event
7 or 8. C'est La Vie
: Henry IV of France passes the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which grants Huguenots (French Protestants) the same civil rights afforded to Catholics. After this, many Huguenots who had settled in England considered returning to their homeland. One such Huguenot is the Comte de Rethel. But before he leaves England, he seeks a wife. If your family's eldest daughter is over 18, she can become betrothed to the Comte de Rethel. (For the Comte's name, see the French namebank.)
9 or 10. Ad Astra
: Tycho Brahe publishes the Astronomiæ instauratæ mechanica, a catalog of over 1,000 stars - the first catalog of its kind in a millennium. Word spreads, and the eldest son of your family develops a keen interest in astronomy.
Relationships
First, roll a d-4 for any relationships. If the result is a 3, the couple is no longer together, due to death or divorce / annulment / separation.
Next, for everyone over 55 or under 10, roll a d-10. If the results are 8, 9, 0r 10, then the person is no longer living.
After that, roll a d-10 for every single person 18 and over:
If the person is 18-25, any score from 6 to 10 is a relationship (you decide if married, betrothed, or courting).
If the person is 26-35, any score from 4 to 10 is a relationship.
If the person is 35+, any score from 5 to 10 is a relationship.
Now roll a d-10 again for the background of the new family member:
1. Nobility
2. Landed gentry ("gentleman" / "gentlewoman")
3. Legal official (MP - Commons, judge, solicitor / attorney / proctor, watchman, etc.)
4. Merchant
5. Artisan / craftsman (master, journeyman, or apprentice)
6. Tenant farmer
7. Artist (painter, actor, writer, etc.)
8. Criminal
Children

For a potential mother aged 18-23: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 children
For a potential mother aged 24-34: 1-5 is no children, 6-8 is 1 child, 9-14 is 2 children, 15-20 is 3 children
For a potential mother aged 35-45: 1-10 is no children, 11-15 is 1 child, 16-20 is 2 children
