Early life and family

1816.
For most of her adult life, Anna Leonowens had no contact with her family and took pains to disguise her origins by claiming that she had been born with the surname "Crawford" in Caernarfon, Wales, and giving her father's rank as Captain. By doing so, she protected not only herself but her children, who would have had greater opportunities if their possibly mixed-race heritage remained unknown. Investigations uncovered no record of her birth at Caernarfon, news which came as a shock to the town that had long claimed her as one of its most famous natives.

Andronicus of Macedonia Andronicus (Greek: Ἀνδρόνικος) was an Ancient Macedonian who is first mentioned in the war against Antiochus III the Great in 190 BCE, as the governor of Ephesus. He is spoken of in 169 as one of the generals of Perseus of Macedon, and was sent by him to burn the dock-yards at Thessalonica, which he delayed doing, wishing to gratify the Romans, according to Diodorus Siculus, or thinking that the king would relent of his purpose, as Livy conjectures.
Andronicus was shortly afterwards put to death by Perseus.

A new Anglo-French war over Normandy broke out in 1202, and initially Amaury joined his father-in-law on the side of King John.
