== History ==
=== Origins ===
During a battle, Ser Clarence of Fork died and his sons, Ser Mason and Ser Jason fought to protect their father's land as knight-service to their liege lords, securing the land given to their father for his knightly service. After the battle, Ser Mason and Ser Jason along with their middle brother, George Clarence gathered money to build a farmstead and later expanded it to a large homestead on their father's land.
In 112 CE, Lord of Fork, Lord Edgar died to his earlier battle wounds and was succeeded by his second son, Ser David who was appointed as one of the twelve viceroys of the North-Eastshire Region, after which he built various military outposts among them were Clarencefield as it acted as an excellent outpost for an arrow ambush and thus the First Townsguard of Clarencefield was formed and Ser Mason acted as the First Captain of the Townsguard.
In the Near Spring of 113 CE, following the Battle of Clarencefield, Ser Mason formed House Clarence of Clarencefield by royal decree from Lord David of Fork, with its seat as Mason's Stead of Clarencefield and acting as the First Lord of Clarencefield. House Clarence earned its title as "Lords of Clarencefield" to the efforts of Lord Mason who died that same year to his battle wounds.
=== Leadership ===
After becoming Lord of Clarencefield, Lord Mason extended the farmstead to a large homestead renaming it "Mason's Stead", and commenced the construction of a strong wall around Clarencefield. Being at Mount, Clarencefield became a strong military outpost. Ser Jason was appointed as the Second Captain of the Townsguard.
Following the death of Lord Mason in the Late Fall of 113 CE, Ser Jason took up the position of Acting-Lord as well as the Captain of the Townsguard while his elder brother arrived from Antos. Following his arrival, George Clarence took his position as the Second Lord of Clarencefield. and Ser Jason returned as the Captain of the Townsguard.
In Early 115 CE, Fork faced a revolt from two of its military outposts, Elliot's Township and Jaskierville. Clarencefield, Georgeville, Anderfield, and Cottonshire joined together to fight off the revolt. During the revolt, Ser Jason along with his nephews Harald and Cillian participated with his younger nephew participating as a squire archer in the town's defenses while his elder nephew fought as his squire in battle at the young age of fourteen years. The revolt lasted nearly two years, and in August 116 CE, the revolt was crushed by the fallen leadership led by Ser Jason, earning name and fame in the region.
In the Fall of 116 CE, House Clarence was given decree as landed knights of Fork, earning the title as the "Knights of Fork" and Clarencefield was given as a "Township" under the Leadership of Lord George and Ser Jason.
=== Strength ===
Following the captaincy of the townsguard, Ser Mason earned his right in a tourney that led him to cross paths with one of the Six Knightly Families of Cottonshire, the Normans. That same summer, the engagement between Lord Mason and Lady Esta took place in 112 CE, and early the next year, the two were blessed with a daughter. Lord Mason and Lady Esta also had a son after his death from battle wounds to which Ser Jason took guardianship of his nephew and niece from his eldest brother.
Following acting-lordship, Ser Jason, a wartime sergeant won the hearts of many, lordship and nobility alike, which led to his matrimony with Lady Celia of Candon (the Niece to the Sheriff of Candon), joining strength with the knightly family which later founded House of Candon.
