He was born on December 21, 2245 and his mother died shortly before his fifth birthday giving birth to his baby sister, Lady Lisa Katherine Beck.

Lord David William Beck was raised by his paternal aunt, Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck and her husband, Lord Henry Frederick Stafford, the uncle  of Lord Frederick David Stafford who married Lady Charlotte Augusta Howard in 2263.

Lord David William Beck inherited White-Hall Manor from his maternal grandmother, Lady Penelope Devereux and from his father, Lord William Beck he inherited the Elmhurst Estate and later on he was given his ancestor's Dukedom of Essex Territory and he inherited Chartley Manor.

Lord David William Beck married a commoner like his first cousin once removed, Lord Andrew Charles Howard to Lady Katherine Grace Kelly, and in fact she was close friend to Lady Karissa at the time.

Lord David William Beck and Lady Katherine Grace  Kelly married in September of 2275 and they chose to live out at White-Hall Manor and govern Essex Territory where they lived.

Lady Katherine Beck became Countess of Essex Territory and they were expecting their first child in December of 2276 and the child would become Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior great-great-grandchild as their child would become the first great-great-grandchild of Lord Edwin William Howard and a great-great grandchild of Lord Charles Andrew Howard and second cousin once removed of Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Howard as well the child of Lord Charles Andrew III and Lord Richard Edward II.

It would be a busy year in 2276 delivering all the Howard children for his relatives as he was the only one that they could trust to deliver their children.

Lord David William wondered who he would deliver first in 2276, but Lady Victoria Charlotte Howard, wife of Lord Charles Andrew III had become pregnant in November of 2275, followed by Lady Suzanne Howard, wife of Lord Richard Edward Howard II, Lady Sarah, wife of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and followed by Lady Karissa, the wife of Lord Andrew Charles.

None of the Howard's thought the child that Lady Victoria belonged to Lord Charles Andrew Howard III  and they were all waiting to find out who was the father of Lady Victoria Howard's child.

When Lady Victoria Charlotte Howard finally went into labor on Lammas, August 1, 2276, all the Howard's gathered out at Norfolk Estate to await the birth of Lord Charles Andrew Howard III' s first child.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard III, with his father, Lord Charles Andrew JR with his sons, Lord Patrick William II and Lord Andrew Charles, Duke of Norfolk Territory along with Lord Richard Edward II, Lord Richard William Carey, Lord Frederick William III, and Lord Thomas William Howard along with Lady Sarah, Lady Karissa, Lady Paulina and Lady Suzanne stood around awaiting the news.

"I told Lord Andrew Charles that this would turn Lord Charles Andrew Howard III into a cuckold if this child isn't his." Lady Karissa tells the ladies.

"Let us hope that this child belongs to Lord Charles Andrew III ." Lady Katherine explains.

All the ladies agree as they await for the news of Lady Victoria and her child.

Lady Victoria labor is very long and it lasts for ten hours before she is safely delivered of beautiful baby girl and Lord Charles Andrew III tells Lord David William " I am going to name her Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud Howard." 

Lord David gives Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud a bathe and he clothes in her baby layette and he carries her out to be presented " May I present to you, The Right and Honorable Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud Howard, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William Howard through his son, Lord Frederick William Howard and through his second son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior."  Lord David announces.

"Is the child my brother's child?" Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"DNA test shows that Lord Charles Andrew Howard III is 999.99 percent is her father. I have no doubt in my mind that this isn't his daughter." Lord David states.

Lord Andrew Charles announces on August 1 that Lord Charles Andrew Howard is Duke of Sussex Territory and that Lady Charlotte is heir presumptive until a better heir is given to him.

Lady Victoria becomes Duchess of Sussex Territory.

"I am stating for the record that Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud is your heiress presumptive until you have a child that I don't question belongs to you and doesn't require a DNA Test." Lord Andrew Charles states.

Later on Lord Charles Andrew Howard III presents an unquestionable heiress apparent to his Dukedom and it is his daughter, Lady Karissa   Ann Howard who is born on May 1, 2295 and her mother is Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard.

There was no doubt in Lord Andrew Charles Howard mind that Lady Karissa Ann wasn't his brother's daughter with his wife, Lady Karissa who also had two children with Lord Richard William Carey.

Later on Lord Charles Andrew Howard III would have a son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV and there was no doubt that the son was the son of his brother and he was born in 2281.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV would be given the Dukedom of Albany Territory and he would be born 7 months after his first cousin, Lord Anthony Christopher Howard in June of 2280.

Lord David with the Howard's would travel out to York House where on October 21, Lady Sarah would give birth to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and her only child, a daughter, Lady Frederica Wilhelmina Howard named in the honor of her paternal  great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard.

Lord Charles Andrew JR exclaims "Thank Odin that my old man is dead and buried or he would have something to say when I named my daughter as when I named my second son after my great-grandfather., Lord Patrick William Howard." 

"It wasn't enough that I didn't name my first  son after the miserable old man." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lord David Beck.

The next trip that Lord David Beck and the Howard's take is out to Beltane Manor where everyone is gathered to await the news of Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa 's second child and daughter.

An anxious Lord Andrew Charles, Lord Richard William Carey and Lt Kevin Thomas Riley along with Lord Charles Andrew JR wait for the news of the Duchess of Clarence Territory.

Lord David bathes and dresses Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of  Clarence Territory and he carries to present her to her many cousins and grandfather.

"I present to you, The Right and Honorable Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence Territory, the third great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William Howard, through his son, Lord Frederick William and through his second son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and through his youngest grandson, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk Territory." Lord David tells everyone.

Lord Andrew Charles walks over and Lord David places her into her fathers arms as Lady Karissa watches from her bed and he looks at her " She is my daughter by all means. Look at her dad, doesn't she resemble my paternal great-great-grandmother, Lady Jeannette Virginia Beaufort?" Lord Andrew Charles asks 

"I believe she resembles her paternal great-great-aunt, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard." Lord Charles Andrew JR states and Lord Richard William walks over and he looks at his third cousin " No. She resembles her mother, Lady Karissa." 

Lord Richard William asks Lord Andrew Charles if he may hold his new third cousin as they share the same great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard and Lord Thomas William Howard walks over and he smiles and says " Welcome Third Cousin to our Family." and together Lord Richard William Carey and Lord Thomas William Howard   walk in and Lord Richard William places Lady Samhain back into her mother's arms and Lady Karissa kisses her new daughter.
