Template:Family infobox The Conté family was the Tortallan royal family. The Contés had been Kings of Tortall since at least the third century of the Human Era, but probably even earlier. It is unknown if Baird III of Tortall was also a member of this family or if Tortall was ruled by another line in the second century. Tortall experienced many wars under the Conté kings, including the conquests of Jasson I of Conté and the Immortals and Scanran Wars under Jonathan IV of Conté. But Tortall had also peaceful eras under the Contés, including the reign of Roald I of Conté, who was proud of his title "the Peacemaker", even though the Tusaine War took place under him--a relatively short war.

Relation to the Naxen family
Tortall's ruling family had a close relationship with the Naxen family. Although they tried not to intermarry too often, they had been working together off and on for "a couple of years" by the fifth century of the Human Era. One of King Jasson's best generals and his right hand had been a Naxen and he married a Naxen third cousin. King Roald married Lianne of Naxen and her brother, Gareth of Naxen the Elder, was the page's training master as well as Roald's Prime Minister. This close bond between the families continued on in the next generation, with King Jonathan, one of whose close friends was Duke Gareth's son Gary of Naxen, who also followed his father in being the King's Prime Minister.[47]
Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Tortall: A Spy's Guide (electronic edition), Cooper Family Papers, Timeline of the Realm of Tortall.
- ↑ Unfortunately, the timeline conflicted with Ms. Pierce's commentary prior to the publication of the Spy's Guide. See the "other sources" family tree and footnotes for Newlin I, Roger the Liberator, and Jasson II-or-III, among others. Additionally, there may have been additional members of the family not mentioned in the timeline, as it was concerned exclusively with the reigning kings. Some people have been added from other sources, specified in footnotes.
- ↑ 900 Asaron's Era was 1 Human Era, so this would be about 104 years pre-HE, or 471 years before this chart ends.
- ↑ It wasn't clear whether Newlin I was the first Conté or only the first royal Conté.
- ↑ Per the timeline, Newlin I opened the Book of Gold, founded Tortall, and was its first king. But prior to the publication of the Spy's Guide, Ms. Pierce said in online statements that Jonathan I was the first Conté king, that another family held the Tortallan throne before him, and that the Contés were ennobled in the Book of Silver.

- ↑ Not to be confused with Roald V, Jonathan IV's father.
- ↑ Newlin III was Annable's nephew by birth and was adopted by the childless royal couple.
- ↑ Not to be confused with Roald VI, Jonathan IV and Thayet's son.
- ↑ Gareth I's other two wives were Merice of Queenscove and Andrette of Tameran.
- ↑ 10.0 10.1 In total, between all three wives, Gareth I sired nine children (five women and four men) who gave him eighteen grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren.
- ↑ It was also possible that the elder great-grandsons were sired by other Contés rather than being Baird II's older brothers (for example, if a sister or younger brother of Doras and Gareth I's firstborn son reproduced before their brother).
- ↑ Baird I was omitted.
- ↑ Baird II was Gareth I and Doras's "third great-grandson", which could in theory mean three-times-great-grandson rather than third-eldest great-grandson, but the former was temporally implausible.
- ↑ It was likely that Baird II's royal parent and grandparent were men, though it wasn't stated explicitly, as Ms. Pierce has stated that prior to Jonathan IV's reign the royal succession was secured to the male line.

- ↑ Jasson I was co-regnant with Sidea of Naxen, but wasn't married to her and didn't sire children at all but adopted his cousin instead.
- ↑ Gareth II was a cousin of Jasson I by birth, but the degree was not specified.
- ↑ 20.0 20.1 Roger III of Conté was married to Alysy of Galla until her death, but the marriage produced no issue. Terrier "Cast of Characters" and Mastiff.
- ↑ 21.0 21.1 21.2 21.3 21.4 21.5 Per Bloodhound (electronic edition) "September 13, 247", Prince Baird's oldest daughter was married to Lionel of Trebond, which implied he had other daughters. Per Mastiff, he was childless.
- ↑ 22.0 22.1 Roger III of Conté and Jessamine's son Gareth's regnal number may have only appeared in the Spy's Guide.
- ↑ 23.0 23.1 Roger III of Conté and Jessamine had more children after Gareth III per this Random Buzz thread "Fall 2011 Chat with Tamora Pierce!" as archived at the Wayback Machine October 17, 2012. Accessed November 15, 2022.

- ↑ 27.0 27.1 Roald IV was Roger IV's nephew by birth. It was inferred that his birth Conté parent was a woman. It was not known whether there was further issue from match.
- ↑ 28.0 28.1 28.2 28.3 28.4 28.5 Per Wolf-Speaker (electronic edition), Ch. 3, Maura of Dunlath and Yolane of Dunlath were Jonathan IV's "third cousins or something like that" (This meant they shared at least one great-great-grandparent. In the Spy's Guide version, this would have to be Roald IV.) It's inferred that the half-sisters' Conté ancestor was a woman.

Random Buzz thread from 2009 "Random Tortall Questions..." as archived at the Wayback Machine March 30, 2012. Accessed November 15, 2022.
