Background

Pretty boy Pierre hails from Malavieille, a small castle high up above a valley in the Hérault. Pierre speaks Occitan and French and probably can't write.

Malavieille was given to the Bishops of Lodève during the Albigenisan Crusade (1223 I think). An early 14th Century bishop of Lodève was an interesting fellow called Bernard Gui. So I reckon I can say that Pierre's family just about managed not to have Cathar credentials so were not persecuted, and then had a certain patronage of the bishops, though they were never returned full ownership of their castle and estates, just to be sure. This could mean he is escorting Peter of York home after a visit to the south. And they have the same name
