Brief History: The Danjou family is not a small one, but they have not been favoured for high nobility in France, as their deeds as knights, whilst noble, were never great.

His efforts on the battlefield and combat prowess had put him in high regard throughout north France. He was quickly awarded a barony by his former duke, than as his duke died with no inheritor, the Duchy of Normandy itself. However, such a fast rise has it's troubles. Danjou, whilst always at home on the battlefield, struggles with the politics and intrigue of high court. He always attempts to lead with chivalry, with the best of intentions, but sometimes this has dramatic consequences. However, his loyalty is untarnished and we would fight the armies of the damned if his king commanded it. He is noted for his disdain of Bretons.
