Capp family

Inheritance
In the Capp family, instead of the wife taking the husband's surname, the husband takes the wife's last name, meaning that the family is matrilineal and that the head of the House of Capp is Goneril Capp. This is also proved by Consort Capp's name - consort means spouse of the head of a royal or noble family (note that Consort's late spouse is named Contessa, which means countess in Italian, hinting that the Capp family might be noble). Capps can thus be easily married only to the Summerdreams, as they too are matrilineal, while the Monty family is patrilineal.

The line of succession to the headship of the House of Capp is as follows:


 * 1) Miranda Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 2) Desdemona Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 3) Ariel Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 4) Regan Capp, daughter of Contessa
 * 5) Juliette Capp, daughter of Cordelia
 * 6) Hermia Capp, daughter of Cordelia

Although Hermia (youngest daughter of youngest daughter) or Miranda (eldest daughter of eldest daughter) should be the heiress, Juliette, as the eldest daughter of the youngest daughter, receives the inheritance.

Capp Manor
The Capps live in one of the largest lots in Veronaville, situated at the far edge of the 'English' side of town, opposite the Monty Ranch. The Manor is relatively small and is situated at the back of the lot.
