Sir Cunobacha
Cunobacha
Father of Sir Mabon the Stoneman and Bors.
The first Knight among the last Belgae.
Little is known about the ancestor who sired Cunobacha, only that Atreciu was an well-regarded Praefecti in the army led by Magnus Maximianus during the ill-fated attempt to claim the heart of the Roman Empire and returned to Britain after the fall of his lord. His son, Cunobacha, was born to inherit this time, but knew little of his own father or the traditions that went ahead of these. The only thing he was given was a little silver medallion depicting a capricorn.
Cunobacha was raised in the shadow of a father that died in a foreign land, and grew up in a time of uncertainty as the tyrant Gracian Municeps ruled Britannia. When General Stilicho arrived in 398, Cunobacha’s tribe, the Belgae, were among the primary supporters of restoring Roman rule.
