Full Name: Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp Randall Fraser Born: October 20, 1918 Parents: Henry Montmorency Beauchamp and Julia Moriston (both died in a car accident when Claire was five) Child: Brianna Spouses: Franklin Wolverton Randall (Frank) (married in 1937 in Scotland) and James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser (Jamie) (married in June of 1743 in Scotland) Uncle: Quentin Lambert Beauchamp (her father's brother), a.k.a Uncle Lamb, raised her after her parents died -- he was an archeologist Claire (the main character in Outlander) was a married ex-Army field nurse who went on vacation in April 1945 with her husband Frank Randall to Scotland six months after after the end of World War II (although Victory in Europe Day (a.k.a. V-E Day) was May 8, 1945) to rekindle their relationship and get to know each other again. Frank was very interested in genealogy and with his friend Rev. Wakefield's help was looking up his ancestor, Jonathan Wolverton Randall (a.k.a. Black Jack). He took Claire to see the witches/ druids dance at some standing stones nearby, Craigh na Dun. Later, Claire went back to find some flowers she'd seen there and accidentally traveled back 202 years in time, to 1743. The first person she encountered was Black Jack, who tried to rape her. Murtagh and his companions rescued her, she gave medical aid to a young Scotsman named Jamie who was shot and had a dislocated shoulder. And then they took her to Castle Leoch, the home of the Clan MacKenzie, as a guest, sort of. One thing lead to another, and she found herself in a position where she had to marry Jamie immediately in order to stay out of Black Jack's clutches. From there, things got very interesting...
