Herondales

Oh the Herondales, I'm sure that you've heard of them as they are one of our oldest and most famous families. The earliest history of them has been lost though unfortunately but in this article we start in the mid-1800s where we first see Edmund Herondale. "Herondales, as stubborn as rocks," Consul Wayland once said. That certainly applied to this Herondale as he left The Clave to join his mundane lady, Linette Owens in Wales where they had 2 daughters and 1 son. Ella Herondale, their first born died bravely fighting a demon, William, we've all heard of from his anthologies and his adventures with clockwork creatures and lastly of course Cecily. Brave, beautiful and bold, she married Gabriel Lightwood and has many descendants to this day including Isabelle and Alec Lightwood. Back to William though; he loved Tessa Gray, the Warlock-Shadowhunter with all of his heart. Together they had two children, James and Lucie. Together, the two of them saved their friends and London. Stephen Herondale next; part of The Circle, betrayer of The Clave, Herondales really can be all shades of gray. He and his wife, Celine Montclaire, had a child, named Jace. He is indeed the legendary Jace Herondale of today that we all know and aspire to be. There you have it, an incomplete history of the legendary Herondale family who some say have all the greatest aspects of a Shadowhunter and some of the worst aspects as well.
