Henri Lamorte was a famed Knight of L'Anguille who served as an admiral in the Bretonnian Navy.[1b][2a]

History[]

In the year 1175 IC, King Settra the Imperishable sent forth a large raiding force against Bretonnia. Led by the Tomb King Amenemhetum the Great, the Undead fleet was met at Savage Point (north of the Estalian coast[1a]) by a Bretonnian armada led by Henri Lamorte. The Nehekharan fleet was defeated and repulsed with high casualties, and Settra vowed revenge.[1b][2a]

One hundred years later, the Lamorte family crypt was pillaged by grave robbers who stole the long-dead body of Henri Lamorte in an apparently motiveless crime. Soon after, however, there were reports of a new and highly skilled Wight Lord commanding Settra's Undead fleet...[1b]

Canon Conflict[]

In Warhammer Armies: Undead (4th Edition), the raiding fleet defeated at Savage Point was led by Settra himself. In Warhammer Armies: Bretonnia (6th Edition), however, the fleet was sent by Settra but commanded by Amenemhetum the Great.

Trivia[]

La morte means "death" in French.
