Lord Secca of Kent
and Lady Meliora Deverel
Altavia's Sixth Baron and Baroness
Allergies:
- Meliora - None, except for Trite Plot-lines.
- Secca - None.
Persona:
- Meliora is late 14thC Cornish
- Secca is an 8thC Saxon, currently in the service of Offa of Mercia.
His forebears were Jutes who settled in Kent near Cantawaraberg (Canterbury) about 200 years ago.
As the second son of a wealthy landowner, a King's Thegn, he found employ in the Court of Ęthelbald of Mercia.
It is recorded that Ęthelbald was a poor ruler and not liked. It is further known that he was treacherously murdered by his
own bodyguards in 757. The site of this event is the town known as Seckington, Warwickshire -- which was called Seccandun
in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, or Secca's Town. Secca denies any allegations of involvement in Aethelbald's death -- nor
in the subsequent defeat and banishment of Beornred -- nor the following consolidation of power, by Offa of Mercia,
Rex Anglorum, of the territories of Kent, Sussex, Essex, Wessex, and East Anglia.
