Men of Warwick


 

Andrew Michaelson, Handgunner (Drey Mychalus)

Andrew Michaelson, born in the town of Gloustershire, grew up in the Severn
Valley, near Bristol in the Cotswalds.  Born to a poor family, Andrew is
the son of a Forester.  As a child his one great love was riding the
forests with his da'.

He enlisted with the Earl of Warwick as a Hobelar and learned to use the
handgunne when dismounted, because it required little skill and supliments
the Company's firepower.  Andrew has a fine Spanish Horse he took from a
Burgundian mercenary serving Richard which is now his pride and joy.  Now a
seasoned veteran, Andrew has also acquired some armor off of battlefields
for additional protection.

Andrew is not concerned with politics and doesn't care much about who is
king. His only concern is that he gets paid regularly so that he can enjoy
his favorite things in life - good horses and good brew!
