Editing Dame Margot (section)

===Banidoc, Son of Benedict and Margot===
In the earliest years of Amber, before the creation of the kingdom, Margot was essentially a confidant of the family and frequent traveling companion.  During one expedition she and Benedict found a shadow and to both of their surprise she became pregnant.  During this interlude she  bore Banidoc and she and Benedict raised him.  When they returned to Amber they claimed Banidoc was a shadow of Benedict.  To what degree this subterfuge was believed is anyone's guess but in time he became Benedict's second in command.
