The Black family had a tapestry depicting their family tree. It was most likely made in the thirteenth century, presumably by the early members of the family, [1] containing family members dating back to the Middle Ages. The tree contained the name and respective dates of the family members inside small pieces of parchment, as well as a small image of the Blacks by birth (not of the Blacks by marriage). [2] Disowned members of the family had their images burned off the tapestry and their decendant's, husband's or wife's names were not included on the tapestry. [3]
History
Creation
The Black family tree tapestry was created circa the 13th century [1] and was presumably passed down the subsequent generations of Blacks, as it found its place at 12 Grimmauld Place in the late twentieth century. [1]
Walburga Black
During the mid-twentieth century, Walburga Black was in charge of blasting off the tapestry the images of the disowned members of the family. In around 1975, she burned her elder son's name [1], as well as her own brother's for giving Sirius a "decent amount of gold" after he ran away from home. [3]
