The Lady Chesterton stuff is a bit out-of-universe, I'm gathering. Also, Death of the Doctor SAYS it's a rumour, so what's the contradiction here?

Barbara and Ian claimed to have been missionaries in Africa to account for the time gap. She began a career as a university lecturer, specialising in Aztec history ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy]]''). Barbara and Ian married ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'') thereby making Barbara theoretically entitled to the courtesy title, [[Wikipedia:Lady#British_and_Irish_usage|Lady]] Chesterton, a style she could not realistically use, as Sir Ian's knighthood was bestowed by [[Richard I of England|Richard I]] in 1191. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Crusade (TV story)|The Crusade]]'') The couple had a child, [[Johnny Chess|John Alydon Ganatas Chesterton]] who grew up to be a famous musician under the name [[Johnny Chess]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Byzantium!]]''). According to a rumour [[Sarah Jane Smith]] shared with [[Clyde Langer]] and [[Rani Chandra]], Barbara and Ian had become professors at [[Cambridge]] by at least the [[2010s]] and had not aged since the [[1960s]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]''). However, other sources suggest this was just a rumour.

In [[1985]], Barbara wrote a GCSE textbook called ''Journeys Through History: A Sourcebook for GCSE for the Associated Exam Board'' with [[Ian Martin]] in which Lady [[Jane Grey]]'s nine day reign from [[10 July|10]] to [[19 July]] [[1553]] was covered. She, the Doctor and Ian had met Lady Jane shortly after she was deposed by [[Mary I|Queen Mary I]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Nine-Day Queen (short story)|The Nine-Day Queen]]'')
