==Biography==
===Stronghold===
The King is the legitimately appointed ruler of England in the 11th century. At one point, Duc Volpe incites a rebellion against the court, sending the country into turmoil. The Wolf's underlings quickly seize control over the lands and divide them among each other. As The King and the court loses his influence, he is soon captured and held imprisoned by robbers hired by The Wolf.
Those still loyal to the throne reassemble their forces and start bearing arms against the usurpers. With the campaign at full power, The King's captors are soon contacted by Sir Longarm, who attempts to negotiate his release in exchange for a huge ransom money. The money is collected by the Boy and it is transfered. Longarm shelters the King at a safe haven.
When the rebel army is ready to lay siege on the Wolf's castle, the King is presented. He is impressed with the Boy's deeds and thus gives the Royal Army under his command. He and Longarm witness the siege and the fall of the Wolf. With this last obstacle swept away, the King regains control over his reign.
===Stronghold 3===
The King is in control of the throne. Ten years after the First War, The Wolf returns with a new stronger alliance and threatens the Royal Court once again. The Jackal launches a campaign and directly attacks the royal family. The King's younger sister, Lady Catherine barely manages to escape from her besieged castle, however she and the Boy suffer great losses.
The two blend in the local populace, waging guerilla warfare and sabotaging the Jackal's efforts. In the meantime however, the Jackal raids the Royal Castle and kills the King. Lady Catherine becomes the heir to the throne, however her reign is just as dim as his brother's used to be ten years before.
