Jose Dysfortuna

A loyal and diligent worker at the barn in Dartington Hall. Served under Henry Champernowne. Emigrated from Portugal in 1645, in search of prosperity and privilege. Duties and successes include breeding ponies, and horses; as well as maintaining the at times dilapidated barn. Despite his lack of command of the English language, he always endeavoured to understand his master’s orders, and always carried himself with a restrained sense of grandeur. Died after his favourite horse, Cecilia, kicked him in the mouth, and he choked on the teeth which had been dislodged after this occurrence. Rest in Peace, you noble peasant.
