Guillaume de Troyes

Comte Guillaume de Troyes is a young nobleman at the court of the French king, Philippe. Outwardly confident and showy, de Troyes is part of the younger set at court despised by elder statesmen such as Mathieu de la Marche and Robert de Bourgogne for their flash, rash ways. He is liked by the King himself, but Queen Jeanne thinks him a fool and Mathieu considers him dangerous - believing de Troyes to simply ape the King's own ideas.
