Line 47: '''Pip the Gallant''' (Old Staynish ''Þipæ''; between 935 and 936 – 7th October 981) was King of Staynnica from 970 to c. 972 and [[Staynes\|King of Staynes]] from c. 972 to 981. He was the youngest son of King Rædulf of Staynnica. His father was assassinated when he was a late teenager and three of Pip's brothers, Ræulf, Rænnulf and Rænouart, reigned in turn. After acceding to the throne, Pip spent two years fighting Leuradic invasions. He won a decisive victory in the Battle of Tuskinay in 971 and made an agreement with the ~~Luradians~~Luradans, creating what was known as the Tusk in the South of Staynnica. A year later he led an invasion against the Kingdom of Luradia, becoming the dominant ruler. He became the King of the Staynish in 972. Details of his life are described in a work by 9th-century Jubliak scholar and bishop Amader. Pip had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be conducted in Staynish rather than Laulian and improving the legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. He was given the epithet "the Gallant" during and after the Reformation in the sixteenth century.
