Well, not so fictional. She's based on a similar real-life person from the region
I so didn't need to know that.
I don't think Davies' limp is because of his mother.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, didn't we basically get told that Raylan is why he limps? We didn't get the backstory, just the allusion?
Yay for John Rogers and cons!

I dunno. When she whapped Coover on the leg before getting on to the serious hand damage, it got me wondering. I wouldn't be surprised if Raylan had been the reason for Davies' leg injury, but not necessarily the perpetrator.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ah. That could be.
But the only thing that leads me to believe otherwise is that Raylan seemed to acknowledge the indication of blame. Which I don't think he would accept if he were only the reason. But that's vague, I know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
She was careful to injure Coover's non-shooting hand and precise in inflicting damage, I don't think Dickie's limp is from Mags' punishment.

Especially because she said something about if he wasn't already crippled to near-uselessness he'd be getting it too - hardly think she'd throw that out there if she had caused it.
I can't remember the details anymore either, but I definitely remember the limp being Raylan's fault as well.

I just did a Google search, and found this:
The setup is certainly intriguing: Davies plays “Dickie Bennett,” the smartest of three brothers and a high school rival of Givens. Since Prohibition, the Bennett and Givens families have warred like the Hatfields and McCoys. Dickie’s family traffics in weed, for which Bennett spent time in prison. He still walks with a limp due to an altercation with Raylan on the baseball field when they were both 17.
But that's the extent of it; I can't find any description of what the altercation was or why it resulted in a permanent limp.

They have not mentioned the backstory on the show.

Also, isn't the sheriff the smartest of the three?

That's certainly the impression I get.
eta: I might be willing to cop to Dickie having a higher IQ or something (I don't think we've been given the evidence one way or the other), but at the very least, Doyle's the one who's got more common sense...as evidenced by Dickie instigating all these incidents that were bound to Piss Off Mags, which we have been shown is not a wise course.
