Trivia

 * He is an English nobleman.
 * He shares his title with Tristan Richards from the Desire & Decorum series.
 * The name Godfrey is of German and French origin, which means "God's peace" or "good peace".
 * In The Royal Heir, Book 1, Chapter 19, it is revealed that he killed Eleanor by poisoning a goblet which he later gave to her. As a result, his crimes include murder, conspiracy and treason.
 * When his crimes were revealed, King "Liam" revoked his title. However, because his title comes from England and his duchy there, this appears to be an inconsistency on the writers.
 * In The Royal Heir, Book 2, Chapter 13, Landon reveals that the Auvernese Honor Guard extradited him without approval from or notification to the Cordonia Royal Council. He states because Queen Eleanor was Auvernese, they have some legal authority to carry out his sentence. The Royal Council insisted he be put away for life but did not risk Auvernal's good graces to fight over the location of the prison.
