Clifford Cafferen

Line 25:

Throughout his decades of rule, Clifford would also spread the connections of House Cafferen throughout the Reach, with three of his four daughters being wed to men who would eventually become Lords, whilst his son Sefton married a daughter of the Lord Middlebury. His granddaughter via Sefton, Norella, even married the heir of the Lord Eddison Manderly, his name being Garland Manderly. Thus, many Houses in the Reach could now claim to have Cafferen blood, which earned Clifford and his heirs many friends throughout the kingdom. Throughout his son Sefton's troubles with stress and paranoia, Clifford would write him soothing poems filled with kind words and loving remarks, which did indeed help his heir's mood somewhat.

However, it would seem likely that the death of Clifford's wife in 186 A.I. at the age of seventy-one was the beginning of the end for the ~~great~~ Lord. His bouts with malnourishment became more frequent and harder to recover from, and he eventually became infirm and stuck in his bed. Eventually, he found that he couldn't even lift his hand to write any more poems, and some months later, in 189 A.I. he would pass away, at the age of seventy.
