Biography
Hailing from Cardiff, Linette fell in love with a Englishman from Manchester, Bernard Kenway, whom she married. The pair settled in Swansea and had a daughter together, though she would die during infancy. In 1693, they were blessed with another child, a boy, whom they named Edward.[1]
In 1703, Linette and his family moved to Hatherton, a village near Bristol, where they ran a small holding keeping sheeps. The family was respected by their neighbors, even if at the edge of adulthood, Edward was known for frequenting the taverns. Having basic skill in reading, linette took care of the book-keeping while her husband took care of the farm and Edward was in charge of the trips to the city for the sales. [1]
At one point, in the Auld Shillelagh, Edward provoked the anger of Tom Cobleigh, his son and their associate when he fought them to keep Tom from raping Rose, the drunken maidservant of Caroline Scott. Two days later, the group slaughtered two of Kenways' sheep and placed the carcasses in front of the Kenway house , where they were discovered by Linette. [1]
When Edward won the heart of an already engaged Caroline Scott, Linette and Bernard were present at their wedding and witnessed Emmett Scott disowning his own daughter for this misalliance. They gave shelter to the young couple at their home, but Edward's ambitions would continue causing tension. Eventually, Caroline, disappointed in her husband's plans of becoming a privateer, left the Kenway farmstead for her father's house. This caused pain to Linette who had became fond of the young woman and saw her as the daughter she had lost.[1]
In late 1712, a group of hooded men sent by Scott burned down the Kenway farmstead while Linette and Bernard were sleeping inside and while Edward was in Bristol, embarking on his life as a privateer. Coming back to Hatherton due to his departure being delayed, Edward tried to stop them, but the group pinned him to the ground, beating him and subsequently left. Edward subsequently alerted his parents to the fire. After the fire had killed all the livestock, Bernard disowned his son and before Linette could say anything, Edward left. [1]
Following the attack on their farm, the Kenways descended into poverty, forcing Linette to work in the Auld Shillelagh. In December 1717, Bernard died of pleurisy and Linette sent a letter to her son informing him of her husband death while worrying about the rumors which announced that Edward had became a pirate. Years later, having heard that Caroline had died of smallpox, she tried to go to the funeral, but the Scotts forbbiden her from entering the cemetery. [1]
Linette saw her son again in 1722, when Edward now an Assassin, came back to Bristol with her Granddaughter, Jennifer. Edward came to see his exhausted mother in the tavern she was working, with the intention of taking care of her now that he had money. He informed her of his intentions to kill the Templars whom had ordered the burning of his parents' farm, Scott, Hague and Wilson. But horrified by the killer he had become during his time in the West Indies and by his plans to kill more men, she disowned him too as her husband before her, calling him "no-son-of-mine" in front of everyone in the Auld Shillelagh.[1]
