Trilliam Farnton

Trilliam Farnton (601 - 636) was a Scanbroughan nobleman of House Farnton, the son of Caped Man Ellesman Farnton. He is known most for the failed Siege of Pertwill Hall.
Trilliam was born in 601 and raised as Ellesman's eldest son - indeed, after his younger brother died in infancy Trilliam became the only Farnton child. As a child he was spoiled terribly and as such became used to getting his way.
Trilliam was a proponent of Scanbrough's independence. Upon the declaration of war beginning the Scanbroughan Secession, he raised forces from the east of his father's domain of Arkwell and headed for Goldenleaf, where he laid siege to the settlement.
After he was forced away from Goldenleaf by the approach of Faramond's royal army in April 635, Trilliam retreated into Scanbrough and joined the combined force gathering south of Wodeley.
The next time Trilliam is mentioned is after he met his end at the Battle of Shepsted Hill. He and his command of twenty-three knytes and two hundred light horsemen were cut off from the main Scanbroughan force and surrounded by Faramondian spearmen; Trilliam was mortally wounded leading a charge to escape the encirclement.
