Sir Rhobert ap Steffon
The Knight of Streamfield
Sir Rhobert is a familiar name to many, as he is the primary knight out on the Salisbury Plain, defending the walled town of Tilshead.
He has three manors to his name, and is the heir of the illustrious Sir Amig, who was his grandfather, and is famed for his adherence to the dutiful way, as he has been following in the path of his departed older brother, even wedding his widows as the duty was for a younger son. Truth be told, it is known that there is little love lost between the pair, and in spite of having outlived his brother by a good decade, he still feels as if he is standing in his brother's shadow.
In the early spring of 498, he and his neighbor, Sir Rhett of Stapleford, had a hunt that proved to ignite a fierce rivalry between the two knights.
In the last days of winter before 499, Sir Rhobert was attacked by the wicked creature that had been hunted on the plains of Salisbury. Sided with The Crown's Knights in the matter of Salisbury's godless confederation, and was killed for his deeds by his rival, Sir Rhett, on the field during the Battle of Floodriver.
Known for: Honor, Hunting, Falconry, Horsemanship, Stewardship, Spear Expertise
