Mr Blackadder's Scottish cousin.
----
* DumbMuscle: He's not very bright, but according to his cousin he's a dangerous fighter.
* HiddenDepths: Despite only being a kipper salesman, he's apparently a skilled swordsman and described by his cousin as being the "most dangerous man ever to wear a skirt in Europe".
* NoFullNameGiven: [=MacAdder=] isn't given a first name, though his wife Morag and children Jamie and Angus are named.
* {{Irony}}:
** Claims to be the rightful king of England, and technically he's right since he's a descendant of Prince Edmund, while in the same episode he appears in [[spoiler:his cousin steals the identity of the Prince, and presumably becomes king years later]].
** The fact that he isn't named Blackadder is quite ironic, as in real life Blackadder is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Blackadder Scottish last name and a clan]].

[[folder:Lord and Lady Whiteadder]]
!!Lord Nathaniel Whiteadder and Lady Whiteadder
->'''Lord Whiteadder played by:''' Daniel Thorndike\\
'''Lady Whiteadder played by:''' Miriam Margolyes
Lord Blackadder's Puritan uncle and aunt.
----
* AgainstMyReligion: It seems like everything is an abomination to them, from lying and drinking alcohol to sitting in chairs and mashing God's blessed turnip.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Lady Whiteadder shares the same actress as Infanta Maria Escalosa and Queen Victoria, implying that they are somehow related.
* TheFundamentalist: They are extremely religious, with Lord Whiteadder having taken a vow of silence. Both of them wear white clothing and four crosses each. [[spoiler:Near the end, it's implied that Lord Whiteadder actually isn't that religious, as he breaks his vow of silence when his wife's not in the room]].
* HolierThanThou: Lady Whiteadder frequently calls Edmund a "wicked child" for whatever he does that she considers a sin.
* HypocriticalHumor: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Lord Whiteadder isn't as religious or as unreasonable as his wife, breaking his vow of silence to tell his nephew thanks for the dinner. The episode also ends with both him and Lady Whiteadder as drunk as the rest of the characters.]]
* InformedAttribute: Edmund says they're rich (which is his motivation for trying to make a good impression on them), but due to their opposition to "extravagance," they don't make any display of wealth at all other than their [[TheRichHaveWhiteStuff white clothing]]. They don't even own chairs.
* LargeHam: Lady Whiteadder spends much of her appearance loudly and pompously denouncing things that offend her religious sensibilities.
* NoFullNameGiven: Lady Whiteadder isn't given a first name.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Primarily 'villainous' in the sense that they're the antagonising force of the episode they appear in (they're coming to visit, and Blackadder's sole goal is making sure that he remains in their good graces, and thus [[{{Greed}} their wills]]), though their crazed fanaticism doesn't do them any favours.
-->'''Lady Whiteadder''': Cold is God's way of telling us to ''burn more Catholics!''
* UncertainDoom: Given that Sir Blackadder in ''The Cavalier Years'' is referred to as the sole descendant of the Blackadder dynasty, that implies the Whiteadder family died out or fell into obscurity.

* IOweYouMyLife: Blackadder once saved him from a pygmy who was wielding a deadly mango fruit, and cashes in the favour he's owed years later. Unfortunately for him, Haig just tells him to try the ObfuscatingInsanity tactic that he'd already tried and failed with earlier in the episode and then hangs up.

** They preach artistic integrity, but they make no attempt to improve Prince George's acting skills, praising his terrible attempts at performance, and so not delivering the service they are being lucratively paid for.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Leia appears as Edmund's wife in two episodes, but is not part of the season finale and does not die with the rest of the royal family. She is simply never mentioned again. How exactly Prince Edmund had descendants is unclear since his wife was still pre-pubescent when he died, but it's assumed that Lord Blackadder et al. are descended from [[BastardBastard illegitimate offspring]]. The different series never subscribed to a strict continuity between series, so it was never really a concern how that worked.
