	The Ramkin family's money comes from owning extensive properties in ~~both [[Ankh (city)\|Ankh]] and~~ [[Ankh-~~Morpork\|~~Morpork]], renting out even to the [[Assassins' Guild]]. The more traditional Ramkins were arrogant and patriotic like the other noble families on the [[Sto Plains]]. The Ramkins prided themselves in their men never having died in their own beds, and their women always rolling the bandages waiting for war casualties. The Ramkins were perhaps a little more sensible and/or forthright than the other nobles. One ancestral Ramkin, Sybil's father, in fact, saved the estate from disastrous modifications; he achieved this by shooting [[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson\|"Bloody Stupid" Johnson]] in the leg when he approached the house.

	Sybil's grandfather, Sir Joshua Ramkin, is known to have been a more competent and able military leader who raised Ramkin family regiments. At a time when no wars were going on in the central continent and there was apparently a distressing lack of sworn enemies to fight, Sir Joshua led a military expedition to [[Howondaland]] for reasons which, as yet, are unspecified. By the time he left Howondaland, there had by all accounts been a large and unseemly amount of swearing and several sworn enemies had been newly created. The battle of [[35th Llamedosian Foot\|Lawkes Drain]] may have been fought in Howondaland under his generalship.

At a time when no wars were going on in the central continent and there was apparently a distressing lack of sworn enemies to fight, Sir Joshua led a military expedition to [[Howondaland]] for reasons which, as yet, are unspecified. By the time he left Howondaland, there had by all accounts been a large and unseemly amount of swearing and several sworn enemies had been newly created. The battle of [[35th Llamedosian Foot\|Lawkes Drain]] may have been fought in Howondaland under his generalship.
