medieval Flemish names
One of the more common types of mercenary for hire in Wessex are Flemish crossbowmen. King Stephen's chief lieutenant, William of Ypres, is Pretender of Flanders and imports boatloads of these guys. A few of them are bound to make their way into private contracts with adventurers. They are considered more trustworthy than Welsh bowmen.

I haven't done any research into Flemish surnames. Since we're talking about a small region across the sea appending "of Flanders" would obviously work. Here's a quickie d6 chart if you really need one:
1. of Kassel
2. of Gent
3. of Bruges
4. of Dunkirk
5. of Antwerp
6. of Limburg
I think all those places are in Flanders.

So "Hawk de Lugie" is not an acceptable Flemish name?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of him. My charts are both optional and woefully incomplete. If you told me your Flemish PC was named Uncle Sam the Ragtime Man I would believe you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really useful list, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe only Flemish names I remember off the top of my head would be Jan van Eyck and Jacob Van Artevelde - I went looking to find out if "van" meant "of" and found this http://www.eupedia.com/belgium/belgian_surnames.shtml which has a neat explanation of surname construction.
Great list, adding this to my growing pile of random names charts.
