The Bastard

Sex, power, mystery and blood....Gripping, untold stories about the Robertson Clan.

.........................................

Alexander and Iain's intertwined lives were played out amidst the terror, carnage, sexual intrigue, and crisis of Alexander's tyrannical rule of the Clan, when few aristocrats would have safely bet on their own heads.

.....................

Iain is from Dun Durroch, Struan province, Lands of Clan Robertson. He was born in the late spring, , probably June 21st, a bastard of Lord Alexander Robertson, a direct descendant of Conan, son of Henry 3rd Earl of Atholl, who had already sired several legitimate heirs and Emily Bunnok , a village girl, the daughter of a simple farmer...... While Lord Alexander acknowledged his existence, he did nothing to secure any sort of upbringing for his child... Iain got what Iain wanted; by his own means.

Iain Robertson stands 6 foot 3 inches, 185 pounds of sinew and muscle. The dark hair and slate-grey eyes contain an air of mysticism. By the very acts of his nature, many have called him an arrogant, cold-hearted bastard with nerves of steel, that carries a nay-care attitude toward the people he vows to protect. At the very mention of the word “bastard” he simply laughs and says… “Not faer laeng!!”

[

Some of his favorites:
o books - The Travels of Marco Polo, La Vita Nuova, and Perlesvaus, also called Li Hauz Livres du Graal (The High History of the Holy Grail) which he has in his library...
o games - marbles and hide-go seek
o color - blue
o favorite meal - dinner
o food and drink - wine or mead and suckling pig, or partridge
o dessert - marzipan - a confection consisting primarily of sugar and ground almonds.

[Lord Iain Robertson]

Before the Gaelic Nations was formed, the Isle of Skye was riddled with clan wars, disunity, and headed for destruction because of internal and external pressures of greed, power, and war… It was this internal strife that Lord Alexander forged the Robertson Clans together by marrying his bastard son Iain, with Lady Keliana Robertson of Inverness…

........

In a master plan Lord Alexander had Keliana wed with Iain, and Searc MacGregor wedded to Chloestrain MacGregor, to break up Iain and Chloe… to prevent the MacGregors from gaining Struan lands, and to keep Skye divided amongst the clans…

Iain is now 28 years old, married to Keliana for four years come the spring… They have 3 children, two sons and a girl… Alexander II age 4, Duncan II age 3, and Emily age 2…

................

Iain ruled Clan Robertson with a strong hand, but less unyielding than his Father. Surprisingly, Laird Alexander was still alive… Had he lied, or even exaggerated, about his health? Of course, he had… Iain had even attempted to murder his Father twice, both foiled by Keliana…

Iain and Keliana’s relationship appeared to be a good one… but that was not how Iain felt… As long as Alexander was alive, Keliana would be in power… once the old man was dead… Iain would be free to do as he wished… In the meantime, Keliana would play the good wife, subservient to her husband… never lacking in the sex department to cause her husband to venture out to others…

But… Iain’s heart lay elsewhere… far to the south in the lands of MacGregor… with a lass named Chloestrain…

As it always had… It had been over a year and a half since the two had even seen each other, much less spoken… Not because of the lack of desire, but the distance and their spouses saw fit to keep them apart… Had Keliana and Searc conspired and made a pact? Were they cohorts of old man Alexander?
