He was forced to flee when Quichelm landed with his invasion fleet. Hervis hates all saxons, and he defiled the body of Quichelm after he killed him at Badon. Hervis made a name for himself raiding into Anglia during the years before Badon, and his deeds made him the natural choice to rule the land after Badon. He treats his Saxon subjects as less than animals, subjecting them to rape and murder at his whim. The landholders of Anglia are as cruel to the saxons as their lord, and it is no wonder that Anglia rebels twice during the years after Badon. hervis never travels out of his castle without a bodyguard of 6 knights, all armored in partial plate and mounted on chargers. he fears his subjects (with good reason), and seldom hosts tourneys or other gatherings where he might be caught in a crowd.
