Henry de Say

Known as Sir Henry FitzPicot, Hal, Hal Winesot

Son of Lord Robert de Say and Lady Eleanor. Heir of Clun.

Hal is the eldest son and heir of Lord Robert de Say. A chivalrous and honorable knight, he is - sadly - most widely known for his proficiency at playing chess while roaring drunk. He acquired this skill and reputation while a squire in Shrewbury, nominally under the tutalage of the Great Earl Roger de Montgomery. In fact, most of Hal's youthful education was under the auspices of the drunken Sir John.

Knighted when he came of age, Hal returned to Clun Castle to serve his father. He fought in several of the Norman campaigns in Wales and earned glory battling the dreaded Dragon of Llanrhaeadr (though many say it was his men-at-arms who slew the beast). In his campaigns, he has battled Welsh lords, rival knights, wicked sorcerers and stranger things.

Hal serves his father as castellan of Hopton Castle and holds the estate of Stokesay.

''Note: While Henry de Say is a historical figure, very little is known about him. The character of Hal is largely inspired by Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Prince Hal in the Hollow Crown: Henry IV, Part 1.''
