How about mine? I started out as a later century Swede because I got so
tired of Vikings but still wanted to be part of my heritage. Wound up
being an early 15th Century Hospitaller Donatii who started out as a
simple pig farmer, went to the Holy Lands because I couldn't stay out of
trouble, joined the Order of St. John as a Sergeant, then was elevated
to knighthood because of prowess on the field. Had the peerage but not
the manners but was very enamored by the stories told by the minstrels.
Since I didn't have any money, no lands and an empty title I wound up
making a living on the tournament circuit and training local levies when there
were no tournies about.

Getting the Barony and County pretty much screwed up that story though.
I couldn't figure out how to put those in.

I got so many stuffed pigs during my reign....

Yers,

Gunthar
a simple pig farmer, but now I have a LOT of pigs.
