The life of rowland greene.
I was born to a wood carver in 1373 in Deerhurst england.
My father was Arthur greene who became a master wood
carver at 15 years of age and did commsion work for the
wealthy to support my aunt and cousin after the fever took
my grandparents and uncle. Having never married my mother
was a peasent woman from my fathers manor whom I never met
having died in child birth.
Having became of age and not having a trade I decided to
travel and see what else the world had to offer a young
man. I first went south to Italy to see what I could learn
of the wine making trade where I fell in love with the
vineyard owners dauther. After recieving his blessing we
were wed in the summer of 1398 and then began to travel
north to my home land where we stoped to learn about
trades that were specfic to the areas that we traveled
though. Making my way back to england over land with a
wife I also had to learn the way of the sword to protect
my family. I have one son who was brought in to
the world in the fall of 1399.
After returning to my homelands I took the knowlage of
my travels and the knowlage of my fathers craft and
started making wood tools and toys to support my family.
With my father getting on in age my family and I returned
to the family manor to help my father run the grounds and
farm where we have been since and to present.
