Lady Elizabeth Percy is the eldest child and daughter of Lord Charles Percy and Lady Penelope Perrot and she was born in 2200 and they had a second daughter, Lady Maud Percy, who was born in 2205 who married Lord Richard Butler in 2223.

Lady Elizabeth Percy was one of most sought after young women in her time as the heiress to The Dukedom of Northumberland Territory.

She was introduced to Lord Andrew Charles Howard by his older sister, Lady Sophia Charlotte Carey nee Howard in 2208, but Lord Charles Percy wasn't sure that he wanted his eldest daughter, Lady Elizabeth to marry into the Howard family, however, Lady Elizabeth explained that Lord Andrew Charles was the youngest son of Lord Frederick William Howard and Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort and he was willing to accept any dowry that was offered to him.

Lady Elizabeth told her father " Please father. I want to marry Lord Andrew Charles Howard and his sister is married to Lord William Carey."

"My father respected Lord Patrick William Howard, but he had no respect for Lord Frederick William Howard." Lord Charles explains.

"I like Lord Frederick Howard II, and Lady Sophia Charlotte Carey nee Howard,but I don't care for Lord Charles Andrew Howard who will succeed his father to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory." Lord Charles explains.

"I am not marrying Lord Charles Andrew JR as he is already married to Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Churchill." Lady Elizabeth explains.

"I pity Lord Churchill." Lord Charles states, " His daughter is heiress to The Dukedom of Marlborough as his own mother was the heiress to Lancaster Territory, until both of them passed it onto their brothers."

"You only have a younger sister, Lady Maud." Lord Charles tells Lady Elizabeth.

"I will agree to this marriage on this condition that this marriage must produce an heir or heiress and so forth and if they don't produce a great-great-grandchild that the Dukedom of Northumberland Territory will revert back to your younger sister's children." Lord Charles tells her.

"Father, Lord Frederick William has three sons and a daughter. I don't see why I won't have any children." Lady Elizabeth states.

"Lady Sophia Charlotte has a son, Lord George Frederick Carey and Lady Alexandra Elizabeth has a son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III, but Lord Frederick William Howard II hasn't married yet." Lady Elizabeth tells him.

Lady Elizabeth Percy marries Lord Andrew Charles Howard in 2208 and in 2210 she gives birth to Lord Phillip Howard and Lady Philippa Howard in 2215.

Both of their children are born in Bedford Territory where they take refuge from the wrath of both Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, but Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Duke of Norfolk Territory holds no animosity against his first cousin twice removed, Lord Edward Howard and he honors his favorite uncle, Lord Andrew Charles by naming his youngest and third son in his honor, Lord Andrew Charles Howard but leaves out the II, as he isn't his uncle's son.

Lord Charles Andrew JR hopes that his first cousin thrice removed, Lord Thomas William Howard will name his only son after his great-grandfather, Lord Andrew Charles Howard II.
