Two years or fifty, a Fraser was a Fraser, and no rock was more stubborn.

The Fiery Cross

The Frasers of Lovat were and are a real clan in the Scottish Highlands. The main focus in the Outlander series is a fictional branch of that family, grafted onto the real Frasers by way of Brian Fraser, a fictional bastard of Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat and Chief of Clan Fraser (the old Fox, or Jamie's sister Jenny calls him, the old buzzard).

Frasers of Lovat Family Tree[edit]

This is the Fraser family tree according to the Outlander Series.

Notes[edit]

Brian Fraser, son of Simon and Davina, was a bastard.
Alexander Fraser, son of Simon and Kate, was a bastard. He became Abbot of the Abbey of Ste. Anne de Beaupré in Northern France.
For Ellen MacKenzie's family tree, see MacKenzie of Leoch.
For the children of Janet Fraser Murray, see Murray Family.
Jamie Fraser had a one-night stand with Geneva Dunsany, which resulted in their son, William. The child's true parentage was covered up and he inherited the titles of Geneva and her husband Ludovic Ransom, the Eighth Earl of Ellesmere.

Jamie Fraser's Family Tree[edit]

This family tree highlights Jamie's relationships to his children, both biological and adopted, and their mothers.

Notes[edit]

Jamie was married to Claire Fraser and Laoghaire MacKenzie, but not Geneva Dunsany.
- Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire was conducted under the assumption that he would never see Claire again. Upon Claire's return, his marriage to Laoghaire is declared invalid.
- Marsali and Joan are Laoghaire's daughters from a previous marriage.
- Even after his marriage to Laoghaire is over, Jamie considers Marsali and Joan his step-daughters and provides a dowry for each of them.
- Jamie had a one-night stand with Geneva Dunsany after she blackmailed him into bedding her, just days before her wedding to a much older man.
Fergus, formerly known as Claudel, was a French child pickpocket when Jamie found him and informally adopted him. Jamie considered him a son before Fergus's marriage to Marsali, hence why they take the family name Fraser, though none of their children are directly related to the Frasers of Lovat.
In summary:
- Jamie's biological children are Faith, Brianna, and William.
- Jamie's adopted children/step-children are Fergus, Marsali, and Joan.

Arms of Fraser of Lovat, Lords Lovat[edit]

Escutcheon Blazon: Quarterly 1st & 4th Azure three fraises Argent 2nd & 3rd Argent three antique crowns Gules. Supporters two stags; Motto JE SUIS PREST Badge Clan member crest badge - Clan Fraser of lovat.svg Symbolism "Strawberry" in French is fraise (feminine), and its pronunciation is close to that of Fraser. The strawberry plant, used in the coat of arms of the Fraser Clan of the Scottish Lowlands as well as in the Frasers of Lovat in the Highlands, is called a fraisier. The Fraser motto, "Je suis prest" uses an ancient spelling. In modern French spelling, the "s" has disappeared and a circumflex is on top of the "e" ("je suis prêt").
