Maison d'Amboise is a very old family from Amboise in the Loire valley. The family estate is the Chateau d'Amboise, but it is a somewhat of a white elephant: it does not generate much revenue but family pride dictates that it must be maintained, even if it is a burden on the more profitable posessions of the family.

The surviving branch of the family is descended from Jacques d'Amboise, doctor of Henry IV and there is a family tradition for pursuing medicine as a career.In any case, those family members who are not in line to inherit family lands usually pursue a university education and then some professional career, if not medicine then law or politics. The family's view of itself is that they are enlightened, renaissance men and women and this, combined with birth and wealth makes them see themselves as natural members of the ruling class. As such, they seek to distance themselves as much as possible from the hoi-polloi, in dress, manners and spending habits.

Much of their income comes from prime sheep pasture (for which they have managed to somehow acquire some merino sheep from Spain), a tobacco plantation in the Caribbean, and an interest in silk production in Provence.

The Amboise family is very ambitious and scheming to secure positions of power and influence for themselves and their relatives is a regular feature of family gatherings. In general, they are courtly, witty and debonaire but there is a driven, ruthless, vengeful side seen only by those who make enemies of them by thwarting their ambitions. Other families should beware the current prominent Amboise physicians at court, for they are privy to a lot of private information, some of which is potentially scandalous - if you are a drunk or have syphilis, they know about it, and this knowledge is quite ruthlessly put to use by the other family members, if they need to persuade someone to influence a decision in their favour.

The family's learned, refined and magnanimous self-image makes them frequent patrons of the arts and sciences. Book readings, piano recitals and chamber music, and scientific demonstrations are all hosted by the Amboise family on a regular basis. The d'Amboise women tend to enjoy creative and craft pursuits such as painting, embroidery, drawing and often meet up on afternoons to sew or paint together while sharing the latest gossip. Those that are unmarried sometimes act as tutors to the children of other noble families.

The family MOTTO is "Suivez la raison" which means "Follow reason"
