==Feud with House Mildenhall==
The houses Maethelgar and Mildenhall have been feuding for centuries. In fact it has been so long that neither side can remember what started it. House Mildenhall rebelled against the rule of Maethelgar in year 893 AoVL. Eadwine Maethelgar held Bronhold in a six month siege allowing Gerold Maethelgar time to raise his army and join the war. Bronhold would eventually fall and Eadwine would be captured and brutally tortured but he had bought enough time to even the odds. With the combined forces of all loyal houses a great Maethelgar host would march towards the Westnigh with thousands in tow.
As Gerold and his army would march ever closer to the occupied Bronhold, swelling their ranks as they went, Eadwine would escape captivity with the help of a spy and slither off into the golden grass fields of the Westnigh countryside. He managed to raise a small band of loyal warriors who fought dozens of skirmishes deep in rebel territory. By the time King Gerold was able to take Bronhold back from the Mildenhall forces, Eadwine had raised a band of near four and a half hundred men. As soon as he heard the news at Bronhold he would march back and join his uncle. The two Maethelgar armies tore though the isle of Westnigh and defeated the Mildenhall Alliance at the Battle of Westheim. Ephraim Mildenhall's two sons were slain by Eadwine Maethelgar in the battle leaving his daughter as his only heir. As punishment for her fathers crimes she was married to Eadwine, the man who killed her two brothers.
