Bridgerton Family Tree

Violet and Edmund Bridgerton named their eight children in alphabetical order: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth. Julia Quinn wrote one novel for each sibling’s love story, and Netflix’s Bridgerton follows them one season at a time. This Bridgerton family tree shows all eight siblings, the person each one marries in the books, the Featherington and Sharma families they marry into, and where the series has changed things.

  • A line going down from a couple (or one parent) to a horizontal bar leads to their children, who sit side by side on the row below.
  • A dashed parent line with a small label marks an adoptive, step or guardian parent rather than a birth parent.
  • Long lines across the chart join people who married into another branch. Click either person to see the connection highlighted.

The eight Bridgerton siblings, A to H

Each book in Julia Quinn’s series, and roughly each season of the Netflix show, tells one sibling’s love story. In order of birth:

  • Anthony, the Viscount, and Kate Sheffield (Kate Sharma on screen): The Viscount Who Loved Me, season two.
  • Benedict and Sophie Beckett, the mysterious lady from the masquerade: An Offer from a Gentleman, season four.
  • Colin and Penelope Featherington: Romancing Mister Bridgerton, season three.
  • Daphne and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings: The Duke and I, season one.
  • Eloise and Sir Phillip Crane: To Sir Phillip, With Love.
  • Francesca and John Stirling, then his cousin Michael: When He Was Wicked.
  • Gregory and Lucy Abernathy: On the Way to the Wedding.
  • Hyacinth and Gareth St. Clair: It’s in His Kiss.

Edmund and Violet: the parents

Edmund Bridgerton, the 8th Viscount, and Violet Ledger married for love, which was unusual for their class, and had eight children in about twenty years. Edmund died suddenly after a bee sting when Anthony was eighteen; Violet was then pregnant with Hyacinth. The early years of their marriage appear in the spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Edmund’s death shapes Anthony’s whole season: convinced he will also die young, he plans a marriage without love.

Who each Bridgerton marries: books versus the series

The Netflix series keeps the overall shape of the family tree but changes several branches. Kate Sheffield becomes Kate Sharma, and the family moves from the English countryside to Bombay. The series tells Colin and Penelope’s story in season three, before Benedict’s, which comes in season four. Francesca marries John Stirling in season three; in the novel, after John’s death she marries his cousin Michael, but the series has introduced a female version of the character, Michaela.

Season one also gives Daphne and Simon a son, Augustus, while in the books their first children are girls: Amelia, Belinda and Caroline, followed by David, the heir. The chart follows the novels, where the whole family tree is complete.

The Featheringtons and the Sharmas

Two other families are woven into the Bridgerton tree. The Featheringtons, the Bridgertons’ neighbours on Grosvenor Square, are Lady Portia, her late husband Archibald and their daughters Prudence, Philippa and Penelope; Colin’s marriage to Penelope joins the two families. The Sharmas arrive from Bombay in season two: Kate, her half-sister Edwina and Kate’s stepmother Mary Sharma. Anthony’s marriage to Kate makes Edwina his sister-in-law.

Bridgerton grandchildren

Violet ends the series of novels surrounded by grandchildren. Daphne and Simon have four children in the first book’s epilogue, and every other sibling has children by the end of their story. A family tree is the easiest way to keep track: the epilogue Bridgertons alone would fill a chart of more than thirty people.
