The Household of Tancred de Lanquetot

[Lucius Malfoy]

The small household of the de Lanquetot stands on the outskirts of Oxford. The de Lanquetots busy themselves with lumber and blacksmith business with the time they have. The house was reportedly built by their ancestor, a lesser noble by the name of Tancred de Lanquetot 'the Elder,' whom Thomas was named after. A personal entourage of fifty serves the de Lanquetot family.

Biograph of Thomas de Lanquetot

Tancred de Lanquetot Heritage: Norman-Frankish Age: 28 Tancred de Lanquetot is the son of the late Sir Richard de Lanquetot, a Knight whose family has ancestral roots from a coastal town in Normandy. Due to the status of his father, Tancred was given a good education in Latin, Literature, Swordsmanship, Religion and Command. After some time, the young man was sent to Monastery, due to an outbreak of sickness that took the life of his father and younger brother. His education was continued under his Uncle, a lesser noble of England. Upon reaching the age of 18, Thomas would remove himself from his Uncle's presence and move home to tend to his mother, a widow and little sister. For the past ten years, the young man has remained in Oxford, the home of his family since the days of William I, taking care of his family and doing small work in the local area. As of recent, Tancred has begun to yearn for more than just a simple life and has begun to seek out service to the King or a person that he may call his liege and serve loyally.

A rather burly man approaches the house on horseback with a few guards, before dismounting and hammering on the door.

Good Sir, open up!

[Lucius Malfoy]

The door opens as Tancred saw a burly man and guards present outside his door. A voice was heard from within the house. Tancred replies to his mother.

I can handle this!

He looks at the man.

So...I didn't do anything wrong right? Not every day a bunch of guards comes up to your door.

[Gandalfus]

The man shook his head, and responded in a thick Danish accent.

No, sir. Baron William of Nottingham is looking for able men to serve him. The call is going out to all knights and warriors in the realm.
