When bandits came to the village he hid, but when his lord's men came to take the bandits on, Stanley pointed the way, then promptly stole his father's old spear, took the village's plough-horse, and followed on. There's no way that a cooper's son with no training should have been able to turn the tide of a small battle - but he did, and he won himself a place with the Baron's armsmen. It was soon apparent that Stanley was destined for more. He took to an armsman's training with such panache that within weeks he was sparring with the Baron's daughter and heir; on realising the nature of the young man, the Baron gave him a knight's training, with the idea that Stanley would be his daughter's protector. Sir Stanley excelled, until the point at which the Baron's heir died of a sudden fever. Shortly after the Baron's lord summoned her banners, and Stanley marched with the host. During the first of several battles Stanley came to the eye of one of the King's Own, and a month or so later - after several more fights - Stanley found himself offered a place with the Silver Swords. And that's where Stanley has served for the last thirty years, rising slowly through the ranks.ty years, rising slowly through the ranks.)
