Martin to Matthias

[Bragoon]

Yes, he's visited many warriors over the years.  And some not-so-warrior-like creatures too.

[MatthiasMan]

Who was Luke's father and why doesn't Luke have a M name like all the rest?

[Bragoon]

Luke's father was either named Martin and defended Mossflower against Verdauga Greeneyes' initial conquest, or he was an unnamed mouse and the first Martin was his grandfather.

As for the 'M' name, he already had lots, why not mix it up a little?

[Søren]

The full history and family tree of Martin the Warrior, Martin the Elder Warrior and Luke the Warrior can be found here. http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Family_Trees But you probutly already knew that. And there could be related by Martin the Elder Warrior having siblings, or something like that.

Cool website.

[Vilu Daskar]

He is by spirit.

[Felldoh154]

Matthias wasn't the only wielder of the sword, rakkety tam wielded it and had the same kind of reaction and he's a squirrel

[Redwallfan7]

Triss also wielded the sword.

[Felldoh154]

And they definetly weren't descended from Martin so its his spirit that does it, no blood relation

[Gonff the Mousethief]

ya very many people wielded the sword

[i am that is (Matthias)]

I don't think so...at least probably not genetically.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

What about dandin? he was a descendent from gonff and he weileded the sword. Martin told simeonwhere to find it and give it to dandin? maybe him and mariel had a son, but than went adventuring like his parents. he must have been a long time because the people who dropped of Matthias where probably gonfsf descendants, not martins

[Kitsune]

It's not possible for Martin to be Matthias' ancestor because in one of the Redwall books (I don't remember which one), one of the scribes or some other learned character said that Martin did not have any children.
