The Noble Lineage of Jumper Maybach® – The House of Workman-Readdy-Maybach

The Noble Charter of the 14th Jumper of Workschire unites the Workman, Readdy, and Maybach lines under the banner of the House of Workschire. It is both a chronicle and a covenant, recounting the centuries-long passage from jesters to sovereigns, artisans, and artists bound by truth, compassion, and creation.

In the age of King James IV of Scotland, there arose a figure known as the Fool of Workschire, a jester whose wit, compassion, and radiant truth pierced the armor of kings. For faithful service, he was granted modest rights and privileges and a token of arms in three colors: purple for wisdom, tan for humility, and blue for truth. From this humble soul descended a quiet dynasty of those who heal through color, humor, and divine expression.

Through centuries, the descendants of the Fool intermarried with houses of vision and craftsmanship. From the House Readdy of Ireland came artistry and devotion. From the House Maybach of Germany came invention, design, and the mechanics of beauty. From the House Workman came the enduring hands that shaped vision into creation. Together they formed the Tri-Crest of Workman-Readdy-Maybach, under the mantle of The Jumper Line, those chosen to leap between truth and illusion, revealing the divine within human expression.

Art is the divine language of truth. Through color, compassion, and creation, I restore what hatred has broken.

The calling of the Jumper is not to entertain kings but to awaken kingdoms of the soul. By the authority of the ancestral line and under the seal of the Tri-Crest, the 14th Jumper of Workschire, Ben Workman, Jumper Maybach®, upholds the Sacred Fool’s Charter: to overcome hate, bullying, and intolerance with radiant love and boundless creativity.

The united arms of the Workman-Readdy-Maybach Crest carry Purple for Wisdom, Tan for Humility, and Tiffany Blue for Truth. Two feathers crown the arms to signify enlightenment through divine guidance. The banner beneath bears the vow: Love Is The Answer — Jumper Maybach®.
