Profile

Born with a Crest of Blaiddyd, Lambert was destined to be the future King of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus despite being the younger brother of Rufus. Lambert attended the Officers Academy alongside Rodrigue and Matthias. He was particularly close with Rodrigue and eventually when they succeeded their respective houses, Rodrigue became his right-hand man. Noted to be a just king during his time, he found himself surrounded by many notable knights, including Gustave.

His period as a king was met with much joy from the people of Faerghus and in Imperial Year 1162, Lambert fathered his own son Dimitri who inherited the Crest of Blaiddyd. During his early fatherhood, a great plague swept through Faerghus, claiming the life of his first queen consort. The mage and reputed holy woman Cornelia cured the plague, and out of gratitude, the royal family took her into their service.

Around 1168, Lambert personally led a campaign to subjugate the peninsula of Sreng to the northeast of Faerghus, with Lord Rodrigue serving as his right hand. The conflict resulted in the Kingdom's annexation of the southern half of Sreng.

In 1171, during the Insurrection of the Seven, Lambert secretly took Anselma von Arundel's hand in marriage after she fled from the Empire. Due to being a consort of Ionius IX, she adopted the name "Patricia" and their marriage was concealed from the wider public due to the delicate political climate of the time.

In 1176, King Lambert was assassinated by Myson in the Tragedy of Duscur. With Crown Prince Dimitri too young to ascend to the throne, Lambert's elder brother, Grand Duke Rufus of Itha, assumed regency over the Kingdom.
