Deeds of Arms and Chivalry is a modification for Mount & Blade: Warband which focuses on the Hundred Years War between France and England, specifically during the early 15th Century.
In the next update you have the option to start as one of the historical characters featured in the mod.

Can't wait to burn the witch by the stake and spawn jalter in her place...
Does this mean one can start as any historical lord or king in the game?
Yes, any lord or king npc except pretenders.
Looks like Henry from KCD :)
