Haurchefant's Mother

We know Aymeric is 32 years old, but don't have any idea on the Archbishop afaik

[Phyllo]

Now that you say it, I don't recall Aymeric ever mentioning the death of his father in a personal way, only like it was some trivial detail or that it was only a step toward his ideals of peace, like a stranger in other words.

[Rosenoire]

And now we know that Aymeric's last name is de Borel. Which suggests that his mother was a noblewoman who was quickly married off after she turned up pregnant.

[Airias]

The name never turned up before, did it?

Let's hope giving him a last name means the devs have planned some more insight on that family history, and maybe also in the family history of the Fortemps.

For some reason "de Borel" is ringing a really annoying bell I can't quite reach to stop. It may be something not related to the game I'm thinking of, but its really shrill and annoying...

I have the same problem but all my googling has returned nothing.

The only thing I get from it is that it sounds like the name of a noble family (all the other nobles get "de <last name>" eg: Artoirel de Fortemps, Stephanivien de Haillenarte) suggesting that his mother came from a noble house. However so far I've only seen that 'de' used for the four great houses, I have no idea whether lesser houses follow the same naming principles.

Even so, I find it interesting that his same seems to indicate he is of nobility because 1. I assumed his mother would be base born and 2. this would suggest that his mother recognised him as her son or otherwise he would have had a bastard name (like Haurchefant). If his mother has been married of in the meantime it might even take her current husband to legitimise him as son for him to use that name. I am so very confused right now.


(or his name just sounds a lot like 'morel')

Were you ever proud citizens of San d'Oria?

[Cipher_Zaabiz]

Aymeric's mother must at least be from lower royalty since he was a knight alongside the azure Dragoon.

Eh? Weren't the days when Aymeric and Estinien served together before the latter's appointment as Azure Dragoon?

As in, they were both Temple Knights at the time. Any able bodied Ishgardian is able to become a Temple Knight (though it does sound easier to get in via the recommendation of a noble rather than winning a melee tournament)
