Sir Norman Moody

 

Born to wealth and intent on keeping it, Norman avoided the knightly vows, and thus the need to tithe men, food and horses to every war the king started, for years until the Bishop of Coventry made allusions to having him "Invited" into one of the orders of church knights, along with the surrder of property and title that came with it. The next day he was on bended knee before the king, taking his oaths of servitude to the crown as a knight. 

 Since then, Sir Moody has made sure to express his displeasure at his service on every peasant, village and castle between London and wherever the king sends him, developing a reputation for bitterness, ruthlessness and ambush over honour and the knightly virtues. He never misses a tournament - a chance to vent his frustration on his brothers in arms and maybe pocket some of the king's coin... Most of which was originally his anyway!

Sir Casimir Dragoslav

 

 

Hailing from Poland, the flamboyant Sir Casimir lives for the adoration of the crowd. Between tournaments, Sir Casimir pursues artistic ventures and is a great patron and inspiration of painters and poets alike.

His interests have led him to travel around Europe, attending tournaments to maintain his lifestyle. He strives to maintain his beautiful appearance for the benefit of his many fans, as he considers himself a work of art.

Sir Aleric Sanders

Sir Aleric earned his epithet when he single-handedly defended a church full of nuns who were providing succour during the battle of Bergerac in 1345.

He would prefer to fight on horseback, but the restrictions of the tournament field limit him to fighting on foot. His energetic onslaught often brings his opponents to their knees.

Lady Elke Korbe

 

 

Lady Elke was born into minor nobility and was raised with all the expectations of grace and propriety that this comes with.

However, she found she was not well suited this noble lifestyle and craving violence and glory, learned the art of the sword.

Safe in the knowledge that she'll never be sent to a real battlefield, she competes in local tourneys to the bemused disapproval of her family and peers.

Sir Julian Antares Agallon

 

Sir Walter Bretton

Sir Walter Bretton hails from Lancashire, where he serves the king ensuring the Great Keep remains a centre of strength in the north.

A man of inertia, when Sir Walter charges, it’s wise to run away lest ye suffer under his booted heels.

SIR RICHARD HOLDING

 

A cousin to the Prince of Wales, Sir Richard has a distant claim to the throne. Although he prefers the vicious fighting of a battlefield, he is grudgingly participating in tournaments at the command of the King to learn restraint.

He has recently returned from fighting against the French and has formed the Black Dragons Company from amongst his cohorts and drinking companions.

Sir Richard uses his long reach to his advantage, keeping his opponents at arm's length, and will win by any means necessary.

Sir Benjamin Westcott

le batard

The son of the King's treasurer. The King's lust for Sir Benjamin's mother led to the King annulling his parents' marriage, rendering him technically illegitimate. Sir Benjamin fights under the mark of bastardry as a two-fingered salute to the King.

Despite their tumultuous relationship, Sir Benjamin remains a steadfast supporter of Sir Richard Holding and the Black Dragon Company.
