we found a bit more about Jake's lineage and who he is related to, and think a few of them he wishes he wasn't.
Yes his family comes from a noble line that stretches back to Henry I (1068) and the crusades on his dad's side. But he is also related to Rev. John Lonthrop who came to Massachusetts to escape religious
