That's a big list and likely incomplete.

And all the ones listed as Baroque didn't die young... and those are the ones you'd need to clearly pre-date Eb.

Given that "Shiro knew swordsmanship the way Mozart knew music," I am relatively confident that Mozart is the "Austrian" in question, their father. He was born in 1756.

If Mab is Eb's mother (honestly, I think it unlikely) then he is elder to Sarissa & Maeve (barring time-travel, etc!)

The crone not the queen. My thought was closer to Mabs mother and Eb possibly having had a fling (or he charmed his way in and meep-meeped out with the staff))

Not necessarily. Jim loves to be oblique, to drop hints. He enjoys both the crack-theories AND when we figure things out...

The Council has probably also had the Blackstaff for a lot longer than Eb has been alive. I'm not sure whether stealing it from Mother Winter was tied in with the events of 1066 specifically, but Eb talks about the Blackstaff as a role that was established in Council history and passed down to him, not something formulated around him after he stole the staff.

PArdon me I need to go punish myself for the tier of stupid that I performed in having forgotten that rather essential fact.
