Biography
Lord Allendale is William Laurence's father. Will is his third son, whom he wanted to go into the Church. Will had to run away to go to the Navy, and his father never quite approved of that career. When Will harnessed Temeraire, Lord Allendale approved even less. Allendale never goes so far as to disown Will, but he does ask his son never to come to their home again. When Will writes to his mother, Lady Allendale he has to conceal his correspondence.
After the Battle of Dover, when Will becomes a hero, Lord Allendale allows him to write his mother openly, however he never goes so far as to write his son himself. The two of them are very different. The one thing they do agree on is the subject of slavery. Lord Allendale often pushes for abolition when he is at Parliament.
His seat is at Wollaton Hall in Nottinghamshire.
