Nobody knew back then that these boys would become the key members of Juvaka bloodline, in their own special way.
Oldest of these brothers was Jorma.
Jorma was a very quiet boy when he was young not like his other brothers who were much more energetic.
When Jorma came to age of 18 he left Savolaks, went to Sweden and served in the grand army of sweden.
But he didn´t like it in Sweden and decided to move forward, first he went to Germany. There he met a beautyfull girl named Anna but few years after they were married Anna got ill and passed away.
Again Jorma moved this time it was England. There he started to learn the ways of catholic life and enjoyed himself.
Years passed and the old king died. His son became the new king of England and Jorma who had been his good friend for many years started working under him, as his marshal.
The king had a sister and very beautyfull sister that was and soon she and Jorma were married.
They had two healthy childs, boy and a girl. Boy was named Michael and the girl Etient, both raised as catholics.
Years passed and England fought many wars, Jorma served in all of them. King was pleased in Jormas work and decided to grant him the title of Duke, Duke of Lencester.
