Once upon a time in the fair kingdom of 

Verona there lived two lovers separated by 

blood, brought together by fate.

Juliet Capulet of Verona 

was as beautiful as she was 

intelligent. Her 

eyes gleamed as bright as 

crystals, her hair shone as 

bright as sunflower 

petals and her smile had 

every man enthralled in her 

beauty.

Romeo Montague of Verona was handsome as he was 

charming. His piercing laugh shook the hearts of every 

woman in the kingdom and his swagger was known 

throughout the land. 

What Shakespeare does not tell, is the history of the 

Montagues' and Capulets'.

Long Before Romeo and Juliet were born, and before the 

Kingdom of Verona was taken by King Litus of 

Newdore, the first generation of Montagues and 

Capulets settled on the land. 

Lord Richard Montague, the first generation Montague, 

and his wife, Lady Catherine, were run out of the 

kingdom of Frenzel. The couple suffered an incredible 

journey to find another territory to settle. Subsequently, 

they came upon the land of Verona. 

When Lord Richard discovered the land, he exclaimed,

           And it was so. 

Lord Richard called upon his servants to 

build him a mighty estate on the east side of 

the River of Dishmond. 

This land was in the province of Italy. Italy, at that 

time, was ruled by fair King Alda the Mighty. 

Lord Elio Capulet prevailed as King Alda's trusted 

adviser. King Alda wished to expand the 

territories in his kingdom, therefore, he sent Lord 

Elio and his wife, Lady Gilda Capulet to find a 

land, "as sweet as the juice of a honeysuckle and 

as fruitful as thee could acquire," and it was so.

Lord and Lady Capulet journeyed wide and far to find 

a suitable land. When Lord Capulet discovered the 

land, he exclaimed, "God hath called upon thee to 

placeth thy mighty shield on forth this terrain, all hail 

King Alda of Italy."

He called upon his servants to build a mighty estate on 

the west side of the River of Dishmond, out of sight of 

the Montague estate. 

One day, Lord Montague was riding his steed 

around the outskirts of his property. He noticed the 

Capulet's estate being built. 

He ordered his servants to build a bridge over the River 

so he could reach the Capulet estate. A duration later, 

Lord Richard crossed the river into the Capulet's 

territory. 

Lord Richard was troubled and angry, he felt because he 

settled on the land first, he was entitled to every mile, 

including the section of the Capulet's. 

When he reached the Capulet estate, he ordered, 

Lord Capulet came swiftly to meet him.
