Allnoth Eorlfric

Cyng Allnoth the Wall (462 - 510, reigned 505 - 510) was the ninth Cyng of Talor and the first from House Eorlfric. A burly man, Allnoth was known to be hearty and kind, often throwing lavish banquets. He was also known to be rather lazy, entrusting his son, the future Cyng Aethelhere Strongmace, with many of his duties.
Cyng Allnoth earned his epithet posthumously, during a raid by Varholdian deserters several years after the Battle of Vorgebirge. He held a bridge against the raiders, buying time for his retinue to arm themselves and fight back. He later died of his wounds, having so many mortal injuries that this event gave rise to the Talorian saying 'an Allnoth finish', meaning to do a complete and thorough job of something.
After Allnoth's death, he was avenged by his son in the Sack of Jyltheim.
