Dolban

This partially ruined fortified manor was located on the South side of the River Eirian East of Valoret on the main road between Valoret and Caerrorie.  It was purchased by Guaire d'Arliss and Dom Queron Kinevan on the 4th day of June in the year 906 to serve as the Mother House for the newly established order, the Servants of Saint Camber. The main House was sacked on the 28th day of December in the year 917 by the Regents, and 60 followers of the Saint were burned at the stake in its courtyard.
It was eventually rebuilt in the year 966 by the Order of Saint Jerome, under a grant from King Uthyr.  Dolban was visited some 200 years later on the 16th day of March in the year 1125 by King Kelson, who was looking for traces of Saint Camber.  Located near here at this time was the manor house of Thomas Earl of Carcashale, also owner of the then-ruined manor at Tor Caerrorie.
