Charles Olivarden the Younger

Ser Charles Olivarden the Younger was the son of Duke Charles Olivarden the Elder who fought for House Olivarden during the Gardener Rebellion. He was slain at the Battle of the Cairn by Charles the Pretender on the 14th of Caed, 60 CE. 
== Biography ==
Charles was the second child born to Duke Charles Olivarden the Elder and Duchess Armina Olivarden on the 28th of Igna in 42 CE. As a child, he showed great aptitude for combat, pleasing his father who had been disappointed in his eldest son Geoffrey's scholarly pursuits. As a child, he squired for his uncle, Ser Vikar Olivarden to much success. He joined Vikar in 58 CE to quell a rebellious band of hedge knights at Three Hills. The same year he placed tenth at a melee in Wilemberg. These feats, as well as his father's influence, won him a knighthood. He was knighted by Queen Minerva Wilem of Flowers on the 17th of Vilja 59 CE. 
As a knight, Ser Charles fought alongside his father's retainers during the Gardener Rebellion. He led a small retinue during the Battle at Three Hills and again during the Battle at the Cairn on 14th Caed in 60 CE. During this battle, it was said that the Pretender, upon catching sight of Charles' emerald cape, hunted him down across the field to engage him. When they met, they engaged briefly in combat, before the Pretender landed a blow across the boy's shoulder, unhorsing him where he was crushed underfoot. His body was not recovered by the Olivardens, instead being held for ransom by the Pretender. When his father refused to name Charles the Pretender heir in exchange for the return of Charles the Younger's corpse, the body was supposedly tossed into a bitter well, with rocks stuffed in the belly so it could not be recovered.
A statue of Charles the Younger at prayer stands over his empty tomb in the Chapel of Our Lady of Olives. 
== Appearance ==
