Lambert Egitte Blaiddyd was the head of House Blaiddyd and the King of theHoly Kingdom of Faerghus. During his youth he studied inGarreg Mach Monastery and became close friends withRodrigue from House Fraldarius, creating a long-lasting friendship that lasted up until his last days. In spite of having been younger than his brotherRufus, he ascended the throne thanks to bearing theCrest of Blaiddyd, which his brother lacked. In 1162, he and his first wife had a child together namedDimitri. His wife perished soon after in 1165 due to a plague that affected the Kingdom at the time. Said illness was eventually cured by anAdrestian scholar namedCornelia, who was granted the title of Court mage in Faerghus as a reward for her deeds.
In 1168, Lambert and Rodrigue, the latter being now head of House Fraldarius, led an invasion against the people ofSreng, successfully annexing the southern half of their territory into the kingdom. Afterwards, House Gautier was put in charge of protecting the territory against upcoming invasions.
In 1171, theInsurrection of the Seven occurred in Adrestia, during whichAnselma, consort of EmperorIonius IX, her brotherVolkhard von Arundel, and her daughterEdelgard fled Adrestia in their own separate ways and ultimately arrived in Faerghus. Lambert met Anselma sometime after and quickly fell in love with her, choosing to make her his wife. Due to the delicate political climate of Adrestia at the time, her presence in the Kingdom was concealed and she was made to adopt the alias of "Patricia", something only Lambert, Rodrigue, Cornelia and Dimitri knew about. Meanwhile, Volkhard took up residence in a villa in Fhirdiad where both he and Edelgard lived for a while, which was frequently visited by both Lambert and Dimitri up until 1174 when Arundel chose to go back to Adrestia along with his niece.
Over time, Lambert became a controversial figure in the Kingdom[3] due to pushing reforms that were deemed too radical with the nobility.[4] In 1176, Lambert traveled toDuscur alongside his second wife, his son and Rodrigue's first sonGlenn with the intention of improving relationships between both territories, a decision Rodrigue felt uneasy about as it would risk everyone's life should the worst come to happen. Once they arrived, in an event that later came to be known as theTragedy of Duscur, Lambert and co. were suddenly attacked by the Faerghus nobility opposed to Lambert's reforms, people from Duscur uneasy with Lambert's presence and members ofthose who slither in the dark, who assisted the whole ordeal thanks to a previous deal Cornelia had made with Patricia with the condition the latter would be able to be reunited with her daughter again. Lambert lost his life during the ensuing slaughter.
