Sir Bohemond Dashfern

SIR Bohemond DASHFERN of GRIPPEN. Resident of DOCKREY HALL
Knight of the Nobel Order of the Ivy
Knight Protector of the Order of Vigilance

460 Acres of land with Grazing Rights in the Dales and the Right to Equip Forty Men-at-Arms.

As described by Morris Blackkettle:

A man of undoubted ability. Astute, observant and reserved. I find him difficult to describe for he keeps his mind to himself. He pays his taxes promptly, so much so that he is the only land owner in the county whom I have never had to negotiate with. He has surprisingly few guards, appearing to command such respect in Grippen that he does not require them.

In his youger days he saw several campaigns in the south, fighting along side various Casilicucian nobles. He was also a noted jouster in his day but I have never seen his name on the lists during my time as High Sheriff.

Sir Bohemond lives with his wife Lady Alicia. They have four young children.
