Early Life[]
Prime Minister Bishop was born in Birmingham, England on 11 August, 1961. In 1970 he moved to Zinaire with his parents Lewis and Martha Bishop. His father, a lawyer, soon became involved both in the puppet parliament and in the guerrilla resistance.
In in 1973 the Bishop house was raided by Germonian secret police. However, having been warned by a spy in the Germonian government, the family had already fled to nearby Cuba.
Life in Cuba and England[]
The Bishop family moved to Havana where Lewis was unable to find work as a lawyer and became a factory worker. Martha, a nurse, worked as well, leaving Gregory, twelve at the time, to fend for himself.
In 1979 Gregory moved back to England by himself. While he was there he met Kristen Faye, a university student. They fell in love and, in 1985, when Gregory returned to Cuba to be with his sick father, Kristen went with him as his fiancée.
Although Lewis Bishop died of pneumonia on 29 November, 1985, Gregory and Kristin remained in Cuba. They married on March 6, 1986 and Gregory was finally able to go to college, becoming a world history major at the University of Havana.
Return to Zinaire[]
On 23 January, 1993, less than a week after Zinaire became independent, Gregory returned to Zinaire with his wife and his widowed mother.
