Helgot de Reisolent

Lord of Holdgate

An old adventurer, Helgot fought alongside the Great Earl against the Saxon rebels and won lands in the south eastern part of the county, between Ludlow and Wenlock. Rather than claim an existing Saxon stronghold as his seat, Helgot built his own castle of Holdgate in the wilds, lands he won by driving out a family of giants who terrorized the countryside.

Helgot is a fierce and boisterous warrior, with a great love of feasting, hunting and fighting.

''GM's note: I can find almost nothing about the historical Helgot de Raisolent, beyond the fact of his existence. The character presented here is therefore entirely fictitious... a boisterous foil to the dour Picot de Say.''
