Sir Blains is a household knight of Baron Ulfius. He has served Ulfius faithfully and saved the Baron’s life during the Frisian campaign in 479.
Blains had his eye on Lady Ellen, but the girl’s father, Baron Gwylon, felt he was not of suitable rank despite Ulfius’ backing.
In late 480, Ulfius, the newly raised Duke of Silchester County, rewarded Sir Blains’ service by making him the Steward of Levcomagus.
