The illegitimate sons of the Colonna family, these young men shared their father's noble blood but not his legal recognition. Fighting alongside their legitimate relatives, they met the same fate in battle, their brief lives ending in the same conflict that claimed the legitimate Colonna heirs.
Description
Two young noblemen bearing the Colonna name despite their illegitimate birth, their dark hair and olive skin marking them as products of Roman aristocracy. They wear the fine clothing appropriate to their station, though their status as bastards places them forever in the shadow of their legitimate brothers.
