Alaric Dardivel

Alaric Dardivel (603 - 682) was a Dunn nobleman and the Count of Northnasloe and Eastlee during the mid-7th Century. 
Alaric was born in the Kingdom of Faramond, the son of Eric Dardivel, Count of Northnasloe and Eastlee. He was raised as a scholar in the court of Duke Henry of Berham, giving him a rather inflated sense of loyalty towards Henry. Alaric took over from his father in 645, and when Dunfleasel seceded from Faramond in 648 he followed Duke Henry to join the new Kingdom.
During the Sultan's War of 659 - 661, Count Alaric raised a force of over two thousand men to relieve the Siege of Berham. This force was, however, crushed by Falsili forces at the Battle of the Barrow Hill and Alaric was captured. He lived out the rest of the war in captivity in the city of Ubarif, and was ransomed back to Dunfleasel in 661.
Alaric's captivity, as well as the death of King Henry in 660, crushed him, and following his release he gave his titles to his son Orneric Dardivel and travelled to the university town of Glarny in Flenburgh, where he lived out the rest of his days as a researcher.
