** Quite a few Mayfairs have had relationships and marriages with their cousins, notably Mona's first cousin Pierce who was at first engaged to a cousin named Clancy before becoming engaged to Mona herself at one point. Mona's parents were also cousins that were very closely related which explains why Mona is about as inbred as Rowan herself.

The last person he had managed to father a child with was his granddaughter, Ancient Evelyn, the great-grandmother of the infamous Mona Mayfair who has the most lines of descent to Julien. There's even pride to being called a "tenfold Mayfair," meaning that there are at least ten lines of descent to Julien.
