Just a couple of quick questions.

In 485, Uther is described as just under 40 years old, while his son Madoc is 33 years old.

In 491, Duchess Ygraine is 26 while her eldest daughter Morgause is described as being in her late teens.

In my game I adjusted this so that Madoc was a lot younger (Just a bit older than the original PKs, born while Uther was still a young man in Brittany and brought with Uther and Aurelius to Britain as an infant)

And I'll also be making Ygraine older when she appears, although this may affect her participation later down the line in the campaign, it would make more sense to keep the stated ages for Morgause and Elaine so that they're still eligible to be married to Lot and Nentres in 492.

How did you fellows handle this? Was it corrected as an errata anywhere?

Edit: Also, Young Robert is stated to be a year old in 485 in the core rulebook, but is said to be three years old in 495 at the start of the anarchy period. I'm going with the latter option.

Yeah, the ages are a mess. You should go ahead and post this on the GPC errata page! :)
