Richard, 21 years old

Even with a dislike of Picts, Sir Sansum swallowed his hate and took the hand of Lady Æife. Though not Pictish herself, Lady Æife had married one and had many half-Pictish children! Becoming thusly the stepfather of the recently knighted Sir Uhtred put Sir Sansum, who had been married 6 times previously, back on the map.  His previous wives, all milk-sop women of too high birth, had died, either during or after childbirth. Always, always those babes would follow. To his minor disgrace he was the butt of many bets concerning how many Lady Wuerenses he will kill until an heir is born.

Sir Sansum made slight acquaintance with Lady Æife at court with her then-husband Sir Doughall; upon Sir Doughall's death, he asked Lord Salisbury for Lady Æife’s hand in marriage. He knew she had borne six children, four of whom remained living. Of those four, three are male.  Without much fuss, Sir Sansum married Lady Æife and, soon after, successfully secured his line of succession with a hale and hearty boy he named Tudwal.

As an only child himself, Sir Sansum led a privileged and cooed over life. He was the only thing that mattered to his mother Skye, who doted on him til her dying day, and he was the pride of his father the late Sir Ælwyn. He grew to be very selfish and very suspicious of anyone who noted that no other children had been born to his mother. After all, he has a slew of bastard siblings all over the countryside of his birth.

He earned his battle-name Stormcloud as a trim figure in his courtly affects among the shieldwall, his wrath never held in check during battle.  Men in shieldwalls often have to drink their courage, but Sir Sansum never had to. He was knighted at the age of eighteen on the field for his almost single-handed slaughter of the Sais. As he became older, a conscience set in, and he turned to religion to ease his fears of the afterlife. He became very pious and very obsessed with an early Christian by the name of Arius, coming to agree that the Holy Trinity was a crock of bee’s wax. Sir Sansum enforces this belief in his own home, insisting Tudwal will follow in this way.
