Mark Sulien Tristan Michael Pyran Petrock Selevan St Aubyn Fitzmartyn Enys-Trefusis-Vyvyan-Trevelyan-Carew, Viscount Grampound by courtesy, born 11 December 2001, is the son and heir of Piran Austol Mylor Winwaloe Meriasek Brychan Manaccus (St Aubyn Fitzmartyn Enys-Trefusis-Vyvyan-Trevelyan-Carew), Earl of Treskilling, and his countess Mabyn Ia Bryvyth Menwreda Wenna (née Carminow-Treffry), daughter of the Marquess and Marchioness of Cardynham, a family equally mad upon Cornish nationalism and romantic Kernow Revivalism.

Life and family
 Mark Grampound is the only child, and heir, of the Treskillings, one of the most thoroughly (and obtrusively,   insistently   ) Cornish families in Cornwall: and one which, by canny marriages and inheritance, has fallen heir to many Cornish families and estates which are now passed and merged in the Earldom of Treskilling. He is descended of St Aubyns, Fitzmartyns, Enyses, Trefusises,Vyvyans, and Trevelyans; of Treffrys and Carminows; of the St Terneys of Landrake; and of Godolphins and Trelawnys. Bolitho money came to the family by dowry; the Lords Evercreech call them cousin across the County border. And as a Carew, Mark Grampound can also call cousins with Lord and Lady Ardagh (the parents of James Fitzjames-Holles-Clare-Malet’s intended,  the Hon. Catherine Carew-Fettiplace-Bourchier-Poyntz: the   Fitzmaurices of Ardagh, had, some generations prior, for cash down and a deal of land, taken from an uncle the all too English surname of  Carew-Fettiplace-Bourchier-Poyntz).

These facts are not lost upon the Hon. Lady Trulock: the prospect that Mark Grampound may in time marry her daughter, Henrietta Maria, is, of those which any of her children are encouraged (by their uncle the Duke of Taunton) to make, the only prospective match of which she approves.

Personally, Mark Grampound – ‘that adolescent Poldark’, to Lady Trulock’s alarm – is a pleasant, painfully polite young man, who has of late, owing to the craft of the Duchess of Taunton and of Professor Farnaby, started to take an unexpected interest in anthropology and archaeology, as a pleasant diversion when not riding, surfing, rock-climbing, fencing, or playing Cornish hurling.

He is as, of 2017, sixth in succession to the marquessate of Cardynham.

Education
Although even now more inclined to be rather sporty than swotty, Mark Grampound is a perfectly satisfactory pupil at Harrow School (the one fault, in the Duke’s opinion, in his character: although His Grace blames Treskilling for it, rather than Mark Grampound).

Lord Grampound’s preparatory education was at Sandroyd, as a boarder.
