Bretonnia had to take time to heal from the Affair of the False Grail. At its helm was the Royarch Gillot of Bordeleaux, renamed Gillot d’ Aquitaine as the Grail Knight took ownership of Aquitaine and turned it into the seat of power for his court.
He ruled from Castle Aquitaine for a great many years for he had the vitality of a Grail Knight. As a Ruler he was just to all people who lived under his rule, giving to the peasants a respect that many had not seen from previous Royarchs. It was one of his efforts to make sure that all were given their allotted rights in life, saying that even the lowest of their kind had the potential to show the bravery that he, a Grail Knight, was famous for.
The King had two children during his time as Duke of Aquitaine and later Bordeleaux after the passing of his Father Duke Moriste d’ Bordeleaux. The first was Sir Louis who was future lord of Bordeleaux and Royarch after his Father left to stand at the Lady’s side. His other was Sir Lucian, who was bestowed with the Duchy of Aquitaine upon his Father’s departure.
It was said that the Royarch had an odd fascination which had spread which was bestowed upon his second son. In his years as a Knight Errant the man had erected a fort in the Forest of Chalons. It was said that the man would spend equal time between the two castles of Aquitaine and what he dubbed Verac.
The only scandal that the Royarch experienced in his forty years of rule was the whispers that came from around his court. The second son Lucian was rumored to not be the son of the Royarch, for while he had the blond hair of the Grail Knight but neither he, nor his wife, had the brazenly green eyes that the child possessed.
Such a rumor though disappeared along with the sands of time. Man’s memory was short in comparison to the other races and none of their kind would know the truth of Lucian d’ Aquitaine’s true heritage.
