Sir Justyn Webbe is a fictional 14th century knight of England during the reign of the glorious King Edward III. He is of Anglo-French/German heritage and owns lands and holdings in Yorkshire, Kent, Denmark and currently resides in Bordeaux, Guyenne but travels extensively. Sir Justyn maintains his own retenue, but is retained by Edward of Woodstock, the crown prince of England and Guyenne, more commonly known today as Aquataine.

Sir Justyn is quite fond of tournament, hunting, riding, dancing, singing, music and good company. He is a most chivalrous knight and devout Christian. He is married to Dame Genvieve, a French noble lady and they have two children; Master John also called Tyler because of his tendency to climb the roof of the manor house and Miss Christine whom is very artistic.

Friar Jacque Speaks About Sir Justyn!
Many people from all walks of life have asked me about Sir Justyn. It gets somewhat trying at times to be honest. As a knight Sir Justyn seeks to attain the chivalric virtue of humility, (though at times he really does need to try harder!) and as a result dislikes to speak of himself. He leaves that to his peers and those whom he serves or to me. Oh, I am not worthy...Without any further ado I shall answer many questions that I find are the most common or the most frequently asked. I shall term this work Frequently Asked Questions, or perhaps more innovativley;

F.A.Q.'s

What is Sir Justyn Like in Person? Sir Justyn is a large & imposing fellow with a hawk-like visage & silent manner. Given the right company however & he will not be silenced easily. He loves to speak of fellow knights and their adventures and at times can talk for hours on the subjects of chivalry and combat. Like all nobles, he is a tad stuffy, looking down upon those who fail to put in their best effort in any endeavour. Sir Justyn has a strong dislike for the frivolous lives & manner of dandies, criminals, fools and knaves.

Why Is Sir Justyns' Hair So Long? Most knights of the 14th century have long hair, but 'tis true that Sir Justyn has unusually long hair. Some folk whisper in hushed tones that part of his lineage can be traced to the Knights Templars, who wore their hair long before their condemnation and executions ealier in the century. Sir Justyn however claims that his is not a monastic vow, but a vow of chivalry to never cut his hair until he has accomplished no less than three worthy deeds of prowess. Though I must admit, if I were traced to the Templars, I too would wish to keep my sympathies hidden...

Does Sir Justyn Fight in Tournaments? Sir Justyn participates in tourney as often as he can to the expense of his domain & the folk within. The glory & reknown he brings home is hardly enough to feed his subjects or myself, yet he insists on continuing this terrible pastime. Granted he has been victorious on many occasion & it has gained him honour, wealth & prestige in the noble courts of Europe, yet it endangers his very soul every time he participates.

How Many Horse Does Sir Justyn Own? He owns three horses; Ares - his war-like grey charger, Kasper - a noble black steed from Freisland & Morriarty - his young stallion and upcoming destrier or jousting horse.

How Can I become a Knight? With much, trial, tribulation, dedication, training, blood, sweat, tears and a long night on the cold hard floor of a church. If it still interests you more than becoming a devout & humble brother or sister of the cloth, send me an email & I'll pass it onto Sir Justyn who will tell you more about it. He is always looking for a new squire or two...

How can Sir Justyn Fight, Run & Ride in All That Heavy Armour? See above. I might add that after training the armour really is not all that heavy for a knight or squire. Sir Justyn also likes to keep himself fit lifting weights, jogging, walking & eating the right kinds of food. He often tells me that helps a lot. Being a scholary man however, I find it to not be as important even though he quite often tells me my belly is quite pronounced & unsightly...

How come We Never See Friar Jack? Mine is a life of self sacrificing servitude in the name of God & more recently Sir Justyn. God has guided me to his domain where I sit & labour thanklessly with much suffering. Alas I have no chance to journey without care across the kingdoms of the world. Excuse while I finish my honey glazed duck, cherry tarts & ale won't you?
