KNIGHTS

  • William the Marshal, nephew of the military advisor (please give a short description of his skills and what he looks like) -Sir Gauthier de Lusignan is in his late teens, and very newly knighted. He is very distant family of King Henry II, the Plantagenet. He is Loyal, chivalrous, subtle, and is trying to increase the position of his own branch of his family who are connected to the Plantagenets. If all goes to plan Etienne will embrace him after he has created a power base so a weak childe will not endanger him.
