The Frankish nobles are three siblings who are holding a grudge against the Vikings. You will have to duel them to the death. Once you defeat each of them, don't forget to confirm the kill. The power level of each of them scales relative to your level (is higher).
A family of Frankish Nobles have taken to the countryside. Each a capable warrior, they try to repel the Norse invaders in their own way.

Grass-Stained Letter
Gerswinda,
I have reached Les Trois Pignons, southeast of Evreux. This is the secret location I mentioned when we three last met. Not one of the Northern fiends has yet come by, but I lie in readiness. I must be patient, for avarice is in their blood and they will not long resist sight of my treasure.
Await my news, Sister. We shall soon return to Lilibonne covered in glory.
As an aside, I worry for our brother Herbert. I fear that the juice of vengeance has addled his mind, for he has taken too keen an interest in the company of dumb farm animals of late. He was always rather dim, but this is stupid even for him.
For Lilibonne and glory,
Amric du Lilibonne

Finely Written Letter
Herbert,
For the love of our God, Brother, come to your senses. Those are not admirers, they are sheep. Do not make an ass of yourself over farm animals.
I myself am on my way to the church at Arlonis Forest, north of Evreux. I hasten to spread our message and will rally the good people there against this plague of devils from the North! Aided by the valiant spirit that stirs amongst our sisters, as well as some very sharp weapons, we will prove victorious!
Wait for my good news, Brother! Soon we will have more to praise us than your silly sheep!

Woolly Letter
Amric,
Greetings, Brother! I hope this letter reaches you in good fortune! I, myself, have found favor amongst the admiring residents here. They crowd the arena I stand upon at Coteaux de la Seine, waiting only to cheer my name when I am victorious over a Northern invader!
In the meantime, they busy themselves with provender.
Alas, not one has come yet to find me, though they must surely have heard talk of me - Herbert du Lilibonne, Adored by Many, Feared and Fabled Scourge of Northerners! I made sure to yell my name at every tavern, boasting of my undeniable skill. I also sent letters to the Northerner camps, though I am doubtful they know letters, such is the dimness of their heathen minds.
When the first Northern fool comes to challenge, I will write again with detail of each victorious blow!
Herbert du Lilibonne
