Sir Lambert Dacre
"The Errant", Knight errant of the Marches
A disinherited knight who rides the Marches alone or with a squire, taking commissions that suit his honour. He is admired by villages and despised by his family.
Dacre is the eldest son of a Marches House who refused a marriage his father arranged and was disinherited. He took his armour and horse and rode out to earn his living.
He takes commissions that are honourable: defending villages, hunting things that prey on travellers, escorting the poor. He has been offered much more for less honourable work and refused it all.
In 4621 he is hunting something that has taken three travellers on a Marches road. His squire thinks it is a wolf. He does not.
“Honour is all I have left. I mean to spend it carefully.”
In person
31. Tall and fair, with a handsome open face, short golden hair and earnest blue eyes. He wears full steel plate, a blue surcoat with a silver chevron, and carries a lance with a pennon.
