Sir Lewis of Kineton

Sir Lewis is the young heir of the Banneret of Kineton, in Werensis.

He's a young knight well trained as such, and unremarkable in most other ways. He's proud of the old ways of his land, keeping with the old religion (paganism). While he does not have anything against Christians, he does not understand them, nor their ways, and he misstrusts anyone trying to convert people or too fanactic in his believeings.

Despite his love for old ways, he's curious and interested in the new King's ideas about chivalry, that (unlike others) he does not see as opposed to his religión, as the Godness gives to everyone, and, while some are chosen to be the rulers, that does not mean they should not share their gifts with others.

He does not see the peasants as cattle, but as people who are as necessary for the lands as the warriors (as himself) are. He realises he depends on them for many things, as much as they depend on him for protection and ruling. That does not mean they must know their place and status, though...

Family:

Grandfather: Sir Albert. As Roman rule was falling, he was a vassal of the Earl of Werensis and fought with him under Aurelius Ambrosius and latter with Uther Pendragon, until his death at the battle of St Albans protecting his Lord the Earl

Father: after Sir Albert’s death, the Earl rewarded his son, Sir Ernest with the Banneretcy of Kineton, his current fief. He married an Earl’s distant niece (lady Ellen), and both had 3sond and 2 daughters. Sir Albert is half-retired from  active campaigning or adventuring, and Sir Lewis has taken the torch.

Other family members:



Aside from the family knights (4, counting Sir Lewis, but not Sir Albert), the fief has 6 more knights and 20 men at arms.

Sir Lewis squires are named (in seniority order) Elyad, Amyd and Merin.

Notes:
  1. I know Brodica’s Daughters did not hold Kenliworth Castle until latter, but as I see chronology is quite lax in the game (as having Sir Lancelot and the Orkneys’ Brothers at Arthur wedding) I also took my license here…
  2. I also know there’s no magic in this game, so a “witch” would only be the name given to pagan priestesses trained also in healing arts.
