==Early life==
Pip was the forth son of Rædulf and Mahald of Donomere. Pip was born between 935 and 936 in Athgard. In charters he was always listed behind his older half-brothers, showing that he ranked behind them.
Either at 18 or 19 years old, Pip married princess Kælwith of Dogrugia. During his stay he was informed of his fathers death. Years later, King Ræulf, Pip's oldest brother sailed to [[Damezkador]] to plan invasion tactics of the Maltervenian Empire to establish a new economic hierarchy that favoured Staynnica and the three other kingdoms. Ræulf was killed on his return voyage and his sibling declared war on Maltervenia. Pip was around 35 where he led armies with his two older brothers Rænnulf and Rænouart. In the battle of Vern Bridge Pip saw Rænnulf die in battle, but his older brother continued on and scored a victory against the Maltervenians, later being crowned king.
The third son Rænouart reigned in turn, but died of dysentery months later. Pip killed Botulf's son and heir prince Bardolf in battle, later receiving blows to the left arm and thigh. As the new king, Pip was forced to retreat his forces beyond the Black Hills, conceding large swathes of territory to Botulf.
Traumatised by his sons' death, Botulf retreated back to Hissingard. With no heir to the throne and an infertile wife he remarried and had twin children who were both girls. After Rænouart's sudden death in 972 and ascending the throne, Pip found out about Botulf's ill-success. He repelled an invasion led by Botulf's younger brother Begald, killing him in the process, and a month later created a corridor to the Calath kingdoms and joined forces, creating a huge invasion force against King Botulf on the outskirts of Hissingard, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.
