===History===
House Windmere rose to prominence slowly over the course of two centuries. Originally a family of the Low Nobility, and bannermen of the mightier (and now extinct) House Eothred, the Windmere star began to rise in the 1500s AS when the progenitor of the current line, Maris Windmere, managed to absorb the lands of other small houses during the course of one small rebellion or another.
By 1580 AS Maris and his sons found their House raised to an Earldom.
