Lord William Boleyn

Lord Boleyn Biography: William Boleyn is the second son to his father Geoffrey Boleyn and his mother Anne Hoo. The origins of the Boleyn family are rather obscure but what is know is that his father Geoffrey was Lord Mayor of London in 1457/8 and as a rich wealthy mercer served as Sheriff of London in 1447. William's father also purchased several manors and castle's such as Blicking Hall and Hever Castle to live in a proper environment. Originally William was the second son after his older brother Thomas Boleyn, but unfortunately his elder brother died in 1471 making William the new Head of the Boleyn family. In 1479 William Boleyn married Lady Margaret Butler by proxy. Lady Margaret Butler is the daughter of Thomas Boleyn who was once Earl of Ormond as he is now attained, thus William can claim part of the Butler inheritance through his wife that all was given to the Talbots. William Boleyn served as knight during the Irish war launched by the Duke of Clarence to subdue the Irish clans, he served under the command of the Earl of Shrewsbury ironically, they were in command of the forces in Northern Ireland where they suffered a string of defeats at the hand of the Irish, Boleyn blamed this on Shrewsbury's incompetence and lack of insight as he was the commander due to his higher rank. Nevertheless they avoided a total collapse and later Boleyn with Clarence defeated an Irish host at Carrickfergus. After the war Boleyn was awarded with two provinces within the captured parts of Ireland. William Boleyn, aged 30, appears with a full grown beard and mustache and of average height. Usually he wears a black hat on his brown hair. Furthermore Boleyn is ambitious by nature, wishing to expand the Boleyn demesne with lands and title's if possible, one such way can be through his wife, claiming a part of the old Butler lands which would undoubtedly invoke the wrath of the Talbots, thus Boleyn realizes he needs allies and surely with chaos looming over England allies are always needed for the belligerents. As an upstarter he will likely seek patronage of more important noble's such as Clarence whom he fought with in Ireland. Traits and Temperaments: Melancholic: -Haggler: This character is obsessed with getting the best possible deal for themselves, and ever watchful (even paranoid) for anyone trying to rip them off. This sort of fellow is rarely the sort others like, but none can deny their ability to sniff for gold. +2% income and improves loot from raids, -2 Charisma. Choleric: - Bloodthirsty: This character is hotheaded and loves to jump into fights, lethal or otherwise. This is not something others find endearing off the battlefield, though. +1 Battles, -1 Charisma. - Ill-Tempered: This character is ornery and seems to explode at the slightest provocation. While they've gotten into enough fights to toughen them up, a person who's as easily baited as a bull that sees red won't make a good commander. +1 Duels, -1 Battles. +2 battles. +2 survival +1 duel -3 charisma +2 wealth

To the honorable Baron Boleyn,

With my appointment as the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland it is my desire that you return to Ireland at the earliest opportunity. Irish clans have been seen making small intrusions into Munster. It is my desire to appoint you to a position where you can take care of these rebels and protect the crown's interest.
