Gardic was the fifth king of Temeria and the son of Geddes. He married Vulpia, princess of Brugge. It was a typical royal union, agreed upon by the parents and concluded against the wishes of both the youngsters. Gardic never accepted Vulpia as his wife. While he treated her with decency and courtesy, and fulfilled the royal obligations necessary to produce a son and successor to the throne, Goidemar, it was no secret that Gardic looked for love elsewhere. He had many trysts and affairs, but to his credit, he never allowed those to interfere with affairs of state.
