Add me to this list of those interested in Broyan's background. Not a whole lot to go on. OiD says:
"Mighty warrior, clever leader, powerful heroquester, and charismatic king, Broyan, the "Last Free King," is a true follower of Vingkot, worshipping him as a god in his own right rather than as a subcult of Orlanth. He has won wars with words, battles with winds, and debates with swords. His leadership has been one of the few obstacles to the Lunar army march into Kethaela. Only such a man, whose personal winds appear around him and for whom humble cottars will fight hoplites, could have held Whitewall for so long."
Based on the picture, I'd say he is around 40. Not much else to go on.

Let's assume Broyan was born in 1580 and became king of the Volsaxi some time before 1613. Say 1610?

This works for me. What years were the various wars involving the Volsaxi?

That sounds right.
