Gadfreuy of Maritoise

Gadfreuy of Maritoise (c. 620 - 680) was a Lacrivian wanderer and troubadour during the 7th Century. He is famous for spreading the tale of the Guerr-en-Exile.
Gadfreuy first came to prominence in the late 640's, travelling around the towns of Greater Lericonnia. He is believed to have originally hailed from the town of Maritoise, hence his nickname.
Eventually Gadfreuy's tales gained enough traction for him to travel further - he spent most of his later life touring the southern coast of the Trade Lake.
Gadfreuy's life took a darker turn when he arrived in the city of Clernois in 677. He was imprisoned by the local lord and forced to recount his tales to a scribe. Within six months the so-called Tol d'Gadfreuy, a written account of Gadfreuy's tales, was circulating.
After this event, Gadfreuy decided to retire. He faded into obscurity not long afterwards, and is believed to have died around 680.
