Served as 10th Baron of Montengarde with Brangwayn Hesson as Baroness - Jan 21, 2017 (AS LI) through Jan 19, 2019 (AS LIII)
Peter von Setzingen currently resides in Montengarde, Avacal. Peter is a Yeoman in the Sergentry of Avacal.
Persona
Peter was born in 1320, the youngest child of Hans and Hilde. Hans was the carpenter and leatherworker for the small town of Setzingen, in southern Germany. His other children included Fritz, Els, and Steffan. Peter and his brothers all learned the skills of their father, including basic reading and writing, however Fritz, as the eldest son, stood to inherit the shop from their father. This left Peter with few options for his future, but plenty of skills to rely on.
One day in the spring, in 1340, a knight, Ritter Thoman von Richthofen stopped at Hans’s shop, looking to get a new saddle made. Once the saddle was finished, Sir Thoman was overly happy with the work that was done, and inquired about Peter’s availability. He proposed to take Peter with him to France, and in return for his skills as a carpenter and leatherworker, Sir Thoman would train Peter how to fight, how to shoot a bow, how to hunt, and how to survive a battle.
In 1346, the knights of the Holy Roman Empire aided the English at the Battle of Crécy, a decisive English victory. Peter survived the battle as an archer, but Sir Thoman did not. Peter remained with the contingent of knights in northern France for the next couple years, but as stories of sickness and plague started spreading, they felt it was time to return home.
Finally, by early 1350 Peter was able to return to southern Germany and get back to his family home of Setzingen. When he returned it was to his dismay that Peter found his father’s shop abandoned. It had been boarded up and had the marks of warding against the Plague painted on the doors. Peter sought out his sister Els at the house of the man she had married. Els told him that their parents and both his brothers had died of the plague the previous summer.
Peter reopened his father’s shop, and settled in to a comfortable life.
