+ | After the death of his son Krispin, King Donal Haldane is desperate for a Deryni protector for his heir, Prince Brion Haldane. He attempts to sire a child upon Alyce de Corwyn Morgan, only to discover she is already with child. Because of the love they bear for their king, she and her new husband, Kenneth Morgan, promise to give their son to the king, and to raise him as Prince Brion' | ||
+ | At his birth, Alaric succeeded as Duke of Corwyn and Earl of Lendour, due to the death of his uncle, Ahern de Corwyn two years earlier. He was an intelligent boy with silver-gilt hair and a loving family: he was "quick and facile, a mannerly child, and easily kept up with other boys half again his age." The innocence of his early childhood was interrupted when his party came across a Deryni execution at the village of Hallowdale.

+ | While on a sea voyage to Rhemuth, Alaric had another taste of Deryni-hatred when Bishop Oliver de Nore destroyed a horse for no other reason than that Alaric was fond of it. He was also forbidden to use his benevolent powers on the other boys. But while in Rhemuth, he made friends with Paget Sullivan and Quillan Pargeter. It was during this visit to Rhemuth where King Brion struck up a conversation with him and the two of them began their friendship, and Alaric began training with Duke Richard Haldane. | ||
