Editing The Stars Are Right: Maturine de Bonnevault (section)

====Family Information====

The De Bonnevault family entered the Enclave in the early 1600s after charges of black magic and sorcery were leveled against them in Poitou, France. Discovered to be of the People (i.e. NightFolk or Fae) by the Catholic Church - the family's first recourse was to flee to the Enclave for safety. Remaining there, they quickly became an important power within the Enclave itself. During the escape from Poitou, Berthomee De Bonnevault was caught and executed by the Church, ending the line of direct descent for the family. Her brother Josephe-Francois, his family and Berthomee's male heir Marius reached the Enclave and safety.

Maturin De Bonnevault is the descendant of Marius' child Avicenna. His sister Alicia is descended through Josephe-Francois and therefore cannot carry the direct line of inheritance. While in the Enclave, Maturin had no recognized family himself, and was under pressure from other conservative Council members to secure the family line through a female heir. He had a mistress who he kept in style, and another woman whom was known to be an occasional Companion.
