Sir Madoc was born in 452, the consequence of Uther's dalliance with a noble's daughter in Brittany during his exile. Uther brought Madoc with him to Britain when he returned with his brother Ambrosius to reconquer their rightful homeland. Recently, he has been entrusted more often with the command of large armies in order to defend the realm against Saxon incursions.

Personality

Madoc is not as authoritative as his father, and tends to have more of a scheming nature to himself. He's not villainous or evil, but he is definitely a political creature and is well aware of how to play the game to secure the best position for himself. Madoc is kept close by his father, and is well-protected and respected as a result. He has a reputation as a playboy, and has been known to have various lovers, seemingly unconcerned with gender.

Important Deeds of Note

In 485 Sir Madoc led the troops at the Battle of Mearcred Creek. The outcome of the battle was unclear, and was regarded as a draw.

Madoc was legitimized in 486, becoming the heir to the throne of Logres.

In 488, Prince Madoc led the forces of Logres to Frankland, to make war on behalf of Praetor Syagrius of Soissons. He took the city of Bayeux and looted it, but then abandoned the Praetor and returned home with the spoils, leaving Syagrius to the mercy of the Franks.

The Knights of the Sword encountered a drunken and angry Madoc in the year 490, after a feast celebrating victory in the Battle of Lincoln. Dame Runa befriended the man, listening to him rant about his father and Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall.

Madoc died fighting Duke Gorlois at the Battle of Terrabil in 491. His death was avenged by the Knights of the Sword and Sir Brastias, who dealt the final blow to Gorlois.

Upon his death, Madoc gave Runa a map and asked her one final favor, to keep the crown away from her. The "her" he spoke of was revealed as the Knights rode to the location marked on the map, a small cabin at the border of the Forest Perilous. There they found Madoc's wife and daughter, kept secret from Uther to protect them all these years. Runa took both mother and child in at Wylie, treating the child as her ward.
