Some Technic History Women

In Poul Anderson's The People Of The Wind, Philippe Rochefort almost meets Vodan and does meet the planet-based Avalonians, including Tabitha Falkayn.

Some Technic History Women
Coya Conyon, granddaughter of Nicholas van Rijn, wife of David Falkayn and ancestress of Tabitha Falkayn.

Tabitha Falkayn, lover of Philippe Rochefort and, later, wife of Christopher Holm.

Persis d'Io, mistress of Lord Hauksberg, lover of Dominic Flandry and mother of Dominic Hazeltine.

Kathryn McCormac, wife of Admiral Hugh McCormac, rescued by Dominic Flandry.

Kossara Vymezal, niece of the Gospodar of Dennitza and fiancee of Dominic Flandry.

Miriam Abrams, daughter of Max Abrams and wife of Dominic Flandry.

Diana Crowfeather, daughter of Dominic Flandry.

This neither is nor is meant to be a complete list but maybe covers the main names. Each of these women can be defined by her relationship to one or more men. The name Falkayn is succeeded by the name Flandry.

Kaor, Paul!

And one of my favorites among the women in Flandry's life was Aline Chang-Lei, the Lady Marr of Syrtis, whom we see in "Honorable Enemies." Her ingenuity and cleverness in that story greatly impressed me. In many ways she would have been ideal for Flandry, to say nothing of how Aline Chang-Lei was so attracted to him.

Ad astra! Sean

Flandry wasn't a monogamist, until fairly late in life.

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

I agree, Flandry only managed to settle down after again meeting Miriam Abrams.
