==History==
Lord Godefray first appeared in Castle Leydford after an almost successful guard revolt against Captain Ser William Rallert at the devices of Sargent Merrik, and a very successful bandit raid of the entire keep. Godefray came to town with a large force of well trained soldiers as temporary substitutes whilst the Castle's resident guards could get their act together. During this time he started working to make a local Militia and begin in spear training, and told the Leydfordian's that if they didn't want a repeat of the bandit sacking and any other major threats that might come to Leydford, they would start construction of a Palisade on the outskirts of the town. He even began work on a large area where a Militia outpost and main hall would be stationed. However, shortly after the beginning construction of these structures, he, along with his guardsmen, left castle Leydford after the events of the Wood itself coming to attack and the death of Fjal Magnison. 
The reason being is his disagreements of Lord Gavus himself, as he believed he was putting too much trust in Advisor Falgrith, who he deemed a snake. The Advisor, had sent a missive to Lord Commander Merrigan, of Dunstead Keep informing him that Lord Godefray had killed the king and intended to usurp Lord Gavus's throne. Lord Godefray had also sent a missive to Lord Commander Merrigan that said that the King was in fact not dead and riding with Godefray instead, he also requested that the Lord Commander take over Gavus's troops and replace them with the Lord Commander's own, essentially making him a hostage. Merrigan, more willing to believe a missive sent by the crown itself then some supposedly upstart Lord, almost executed Cade Shilbrouk and his entourage for treason as he did not believe Godefray would send such a treasonous message with some peasant courier instead of a royal one. He however decided against it, riding to find that in fact Godefray wasn't lying. The Lord Commander then decided to stay neutral to this possible civil war. Lord Godefray, now proven of his innocence's, was allowed to ride with King Aelus back to Castle Leydford where he and the King would stay for some time. In this time he attended a great feast and the knighting of Ser William Rallert.
Soon, he would rally the militia after the events of Dawnmire where Arn, Cade, Katrina and Haskal all learned of the Imperial presence in the border town, and were able to rescue Terric Gambol. He then leads the militia on a offensive front on a large Imperial base near the border. In this battle he would be captured along with his army, but he managed to escape. News got back the capital 5 months later after the events of Leydford, of Godefray's escape, and the fact he was able to break an Imperial siege with his remaining forces while using guerilla tactics in the Badaria Forest. The Current whereabouts of Lord Godefray are unknown, though he, or at least what remains of his left flank, are stationed in the Badaria Forest, along with Lord Commander Rallert holding the line against Imperial forces, more is to be added when the group travel to the Badaria once more to close or destroy the Archway that lies beneath.
