Talk:Hardestadt the Younger

Transylvania Chronicles II is often misquoted when it comes to Hardestadt the Younger. The source never says that Hardestadt is a 6th gen vampire,  it says he is a 5th gen.

Here's the link to the quote from Transylvania Chronicles II page. 99 https://imgur.com/rpuAlGx

As you can see the quote is quite clear: Hardestadt is a 5th generation Vampire. Which is consistent with both Giovanni Chronicles II and III. The only element that differs is the embrace date.

Pieterzoon's generation cannot be used to void such sources. Pieterzoon's generation is mentioned only in one source, the Clanbook Ventrue Revised, while Hardestadt's generation is confirmed by 3 different sources, published in different years. Either Pieterzoon's generation should be lower, either Hardestadt might not be Pieterzoon's true sire.
