== Early Life ==
Sir Botheric was born at Tisbury, in Salisbury, to his father Alaric and his mother Jacqueline. At a young age Sir Botheric was sent away to Tolosa, the family's ancestral home, to be educated in the traditional Occitanian ways. He returned to Salisbury, was squired in 479 and trained by [[Sir Elad of Vagon]]. He earned his knighthood in 485 after he and his companions dealt successfully with a wild bear which had been terrorizing a village, and some local bandits who tried to waylay the group. The adventure proved formative, and the band eventually took the name [[LPen:Characters#The_Ursine_Brotherhood|The Ursine Brotherhood]] because of it.
