15th Century

Geoffrey Baudesworth (Jeff Masiello)

As a young man Geoffery was inseperable from his father, Edmund.  Edmund 
was part of the standing garrison and had the fortune of being stationed 
at Warwick castle as a longbowman.  Geoffrey learned a great deal at the 
castle, mostly from his father's companions.  He was taught the art of 
the longbow and how to properly belch at a meal, both of which he 
studied in great detail.  Eventually, he was permitted to join the 
garrison and be by his fathers side in 1454.  Life had been very good to 
Geoffrey up until now.  That all changed at the battle of St. Albans in 
1455 where his father was struck down by a Lancastrian knight.  Upon 
return to the castle and under the Nevill's good graces, he was 
permitted to replace, or attepmt to replace, his father on the wall. 
His mother was taken in as a maidservant and the two keep in touch. 

As an aside, Edmund was also a proficient musician well known for his 
playing of the harp at feasts.  Geoffrey, though sorely lacking in this 
area, still tries to play in an attempt to follow in his fathers 
footsteps.  It is met with varying degrees of acceptance.
