Overview

The lands of the newly established House Charlton of Highfield are located upon the vast fields and hills that can be found directly to the east of the forest where Tall Oaks once resided. With a river running to the east, the lands are no doubt quite viable for the planting of grain and other such crops.

History

House Charlton of Highfield was born out of a portion of King's Law that states that if a House can no longer work the land that they lay claim to, another who can work the land may claim it as their own. After all, idle land yields no taxes.

With land left untended after the destruction of Tall Oaks and House Camden, House Charlton of Hollyholt fielded one hundred fifty peasant workers and dispatched them to the fields east of where Tall Oaks once stood, under the direction of Ser Aleister Charlton, a nephew of Lord Ser Keegan. Armed with wagons full of supplies, the peasants began felling timber and digging ditches and irrigation channels so that the fields may be prepared for seeding and the construction of initial buildings could be begin. After months and months of work, the work has been completed, the fields have been readied and the keep has been completed.

On July 23rd, 289, official word has filtered down that Lord Tully of Riverrun has confirmed Ser Aleister Charlton as Knight of Highfield and granted him the lands that once belonged to the fallen House Camden.
