Eustace Folville

Eustace is the second oldest of the Folville brothers. His criminal career began when he led an ambush against Sir Roger Bellere, in which the victim was cruelly murdered. Bellere was ambushed in a small valley with his retinue of fifty men. With Eustace were his brothers Roger and Walter with their men. Eustace inflicted the death-blow, stabbing Bellere though the heart. The crime was one of extreme audacity, made all the more shocking by the standing of the victim. Bellere was not only a local nobleman of some repute, the possessor of some nine manors and the founder of the local chapel, he was also a baron of the exchequer, and at one stage its chief treasurer.

The Folvilles were immediately summoned to stand trial for Belleres death. However, like many other felons, they could not be traced by the authorities they fled. They were declared outlaws in their absence. This new status suited them, as the years followed petitions were issued to the Sheriff of Nottingham, complaining that the Folville brothers were roaming abroad again at the head of a band, waylaying persons whom they spoiled and held to ransom. Directly accusing Eustace and his band of robberies, murders, and rapes.

However unbeknownst to the petitionioners the assasination of Bellere had been orchestrated at the bequest of the Sheriff of Nottingham and the bands subsequent crimes were in order to disrupt oppostion to the Sheriff of Nottingham’s rule in the north.

The Folvilles allied themselves with the infamous Cotterel gang. The Cotterels giving the Folvilles shelter in their territory. They were at one stage pursued there by officers of the crown, but managed to evade capture after a local informer warned them of the danger.

Currently Eustace and his brothers are freelance mercenaries, hired by the ostensibly law-abiding…to commit acts of violence, mayhem and assassination on their behalf’. Clerics as well as lords regularly make use of their services.
