Revision as of 07:36, 16 May 2012

People of Camelot, for a great many years we have been mortal enemies, and the blood of our men stains the ground from the walls of Camelot to the gates of Mercia. And though we remember those who have died, we must not allow any more to join them.
Bayard[src]

Lord Bayard of Mercia is the king of Mercia in the country of Albion.

Biography

He warred with King Uther Pendragon for a time before agreeing to a peace treaty, but his effort was temporarily stymied when he was framed by the sorceress Nimueh for the attempted assassination of Arthur Pendragon. Bayard was therefore imprisoned for "poisoning" the prince. Bayard's forces were poised to attack Camelot for his imprisonment, but the truth was discovered by Gaius in time to prevent war and Bayard was released.

Bayard's coat of arms

After Uther discovered Bayard was innocent, peace was reestablished between Camelot and Mercia (The Poisoned Chalice).

When Bayard heard of Uther's marriage to Lady Catrina, he planned on honouring it by paying a personal visit to Camelot (Beauty and the Beast).

Agravaine told Arthur that his victory against Caerleon was not enough to deter the likes of Odin and Bayard and the countless others who covet Camelot's wealth, suggesting that he should force Caerleon to accept a treaty on his terms (His Father's Son).

Trivia

  • "Bayard" is also the name for a legendary horse.
  • Bayard was mentioned again in "His Father's Son" by Agravaine, who said he "covets Camelot's wealth", suggesting that, despite being allies, Bayard would still take the chance to attack Camelot, if he would find it weakened.
