Duke Bohemond Beastslayer, a powerful Bretonnian Lord.[1]

The Kingdom of Bretonnia is divided into fourteen great Dukedoms. Each of the Dukedoms greatest nobles, command an army of Knights, supported by the squires, Men-at-Arms and archers drawn from the ranks of the commoners. Many are particularly deadly Knight of the Realm, some are also mighty Grail Knights, or former Paladins, such as Bohemond Beastslayer and the historical Repanse de Lyonesse, and hold prestigious ranks such as Duke or Baron. Proud and powerful warriors all, whatever their knightly caste, they are essentially even deadlier and better equipped than their other comrades, a perk of being the greatest of nobility.

Unlike the lords of other armies, Bretonnian Lords have to be on horseback as it is unseemly for the leader of an army to be down with the lower classes, fighting on foot only in the most dire circumstances. Lords will often lead groups of knights into combat and provide tactical support. These fearsome warriors will also target and slay enemy champions, proving their worth in the name of Bretonnia and The Lady.
