This Scepterd Isle

In 1812, Patrick & Maria meet, they have plenty in common and quickly fall in love, exchanging letters and during a visit to the wonderfully gothic Kirkstall Abbey, Patrick proposes to Maria & she accepts. Maria and Patrick are married on the same day as Maria’s younger sister and all passes off well, despite the loss of Maria’s bridal veil along with other belongings in a shipwreck. Maria and Patrick are a happy, active couple, and both continue to write, with Maria penning poems & essays, including one on the virtues and benefits of poverty. 

1814 brings joy to the couple with the birth of their first child Maria Bronte, followed by Elizabeth in 1815, Charlotte in 1816, Branwell in 1817, Emily in 1818 and finally Anne is born in 1820. Shortly after Anne’s arrival Reverend Patrick Bronte moves the family from Thornton to the parsonage at Haworth and the scene is set for the Bronte Sisters story. It begins sadly, because, even as the family move into Haworth Parsonage Mrs Bronte’s health is declining and in 1821 she dies of Uterine Cancer. She is a devoted wife and mother and her thoughts are always of her children, even as she lies dying, her last cries of  ”oh my poor children” are heard by the older Bronte children. This will stay with them always, but other influences will give the children happier recollections of their mother. 

Following the early death of his wife, Patrick makes attempts at persuading a number of female friends and acquaintances to marry him and become a mother to his six children.
