==History==
The Blacksmith Family was granted the lordship of Driffield in 985ME and held that position until 1842ME. Over the years they have been linked to the Bandits Guild as well as the Heros Guild. The Blacksmith Family became members of royalty in 1828 when Elizabeth Blacsmith married the Hero of Bowerstone.
==Betrayal==
Even before his daughter had married the King of Albion Elizabeth's father had conspired to dispose of the king and queen and place himself on the throne but knew he would have to wait.
Making a deal with the Queen of Blades and Jeremiah Adams a member of the Albion Army he paid bandits to launch an attack on Bowerstone some members of the Queen of Blades own army participated in the attack.
When Queen Elizabeth passed the Act of Succession in 1839 he set in motion his plan to take the throne. He ha spies in the royal court and in the king and queens own circle of advisors. 
But the plans began to fail with the return of the king and Elvira for his youngest son Edward told Jane Silver-Fur everything and during the trial of Jeremiah Adams the three traitors were arrested and tried.
Not even a week had passed since they were arrested and they had been found guilty. James Blacksmith was executed in the execution yard of the Bowerstone Fort in Bowerstone Southern Quarter and Edmund and Edward were imprisond in Traitors Keep.
Following this the title Lord or Lady of Driffield was granted to the Queens younger sister Jane and her family took over ownership of Blacksmith Manor.
==Decline and Extinction==
At some point before 1848 Edmund Blacksmith committed suicide and Edward was forgiven by both the King and Queen when it was discovered that he was forced by his bullying father into doing everything. But dispite the rightful heir to the Lordship of Driffield Jane refused to relinquish the title it would be a decision that would cause a rift between Elizabeth, Jane and Edward.
Edward died in 1859 while Sparrow, Elizabeth, Logan and Henry attended the funeral Jane openly refused to attend as did William.
