Persona

Andreas is a Norman clerk, poet and soldier from England between 1185-1210. Andreas was made a Baron of the Court of William and Isolde at Pennsic 46, put on Vigil for the Order of the Pelican at Festival of Maidens in January of AS 54 by Seto and Ynes, and then elevated on May 1, AS 55, in the 100th Reign of the Middle Kingdom.

Title

The title Andreas uses as Pelican is Rædesmann. As a Norman who was born in England, lives in a world where Saxons are subject to Norman administration, and speaks Anglo-saxon, he felt that it would be helpful to use a title that Saxons would recognize and understand. However, he doesn't use it after his name, but before it, as a proper Norman lord does.

Rædesmann is an old-english word that means "counselor, advisor, councilor".
