Pendragon: Introducing new PCs

Hey all,

I'm currently running the Great Pendragon Campaign; and the game is going really great; however I'm about to run into a slight complication.

In the GPC (as well as in the default game) there's some awesome tables for generating the story of your family, the "prior history" of your grandfather and father leading up to your character.  This is a MAJOR element of the character creation process that really adds depth to the character's personality.

However, the generation process only works for PCs who are starting their career in 485 AD; after that, you can tweak it a little for a couple of years; but at this point we're too far ahead and it wouldn't make sense to start out a 21 year old knight and for the backstory chronology to fit.

Now, you can just skip that part, and make a character with no viable prior history, or just make one up. But I was wondering if anyone here knew of any (professional or fan-made) set of tables for creating later-era knights?
