Nobles and Courtiers
Louis d'Orléans
(1371-present)
Duc d'Orleans
Comte de Blois
Comte de Dunois
Brother to King Charles of France, Louis gained the titles of Orléans and Valois through His Majesty's favor. Using his newfound prestige and growing closer to being of age, Louis intends to pursue a loyal relationship with the crown. Many state that Louis is going to become the primary advisor to the king.
On horseback armed with lance and sword, Louis is an accomplished young nobleman. Louis favors jousting and hunting as his primary forms of recreation.
In administering his lands, Louis relies upon his wards of clergy and merchants to handle the books for mundane matters while taking the task of defending the lands and serving the crown into personal attention.
On matters of Church, Louis honors the required feast days, but leaves the finer subtleties of the queen of sciences, theology, to the clergy. Louis' instructors have taught Louis the importance of not falling into the primary sins of pride and avarice, to which Louis ascribes to the errors of Rome.
As yet, Louis is not promised to any lady but his servants are going abroad to secure matimonial alliance with a state worthy of the king's brother.
Monsieur Namont
1355-present
Regent of Louis I
Knighted personally by King Charles V, His Majesty personally selected M. Namont to oversee Louis until he is of age. M. Namont believes in the superiority of the nobility as it is reflected in Christ's Kingdom. M. Namont sees to all legal matters of His Grace by not only handling the affair with personal attention but by including His Grace in all conversations with councils and petitioners. By doing so, M. Namont hopes to instill the royal authority within Louis so that His Grace may take a righteous and Godly position in regards to France. Perhaps more importantly, M. Namont instructs His Grace on the arts of war and codes of chivalry. M. Namot firmly believes in the strength of heavy cavalry sweeping the field of all enemies. In all, M. Namont sees to His Grace's needs and instruction heartily and loyally to the crown.
M. Namont is currently unmarried, his first wife dying during childbirth.
Charlotte
Daughter of M. Mamot
1482-present
A small girl, nothing of consequence as of yet. Perhaps she may be betrothed to a minor noble.
