==The Mildenhall Uprising (898 AoVL)==
In year 898 AoVL Lord Ephraim Mildenhall, Marshall of the Westnigh, raised his banners in rebellion after years of feuding with House Maethelgar. The Mildenhalls and their supporters laid siege to Bronhold and it ended in embarrassment. Though the rebel army took control of the city, Bronhold held for six months under the command of Lord Eadwine Maethelgar with a small peacetime garrison. Eadwine and his men would eventually be overrun. He was captured and tortured brutally. Bronhold was the castle town that stood at the only crossing from the mainland of Heimark to the isle of Westnigh.
Despite his defeat, Eadwine had bought time for King Gerold, and Lord Roland Visimar the Orange to assemble their fyrd's and march for the Westnigh. As they made way towards the rebel controlled Bronhold the kings army would swell with loyal volunteers. They would number in the thousands. The greatest army any king of Heimark had assembled. Mere days before the royal army reached Bronhold to retake it, Eadwine would escape captivity with the help of a spy, and slither off into the grassy Westnigh countryside. He would be able to throw together a small band of loyal warriors and harass the Mildenhall forces in a series of near a dozen skirmishes deep in rebel territory. As soon as he hears that the King has retaken Bronhold, he heads east to merge into their army. 
The royal army of Heimark would march on from victory at Bronhold and absolutely crush the remainder of separatist forces at The Battle of Westheim after a nine month campaign spanning half a dozen large scale pitched battles. Eadwine Maethelgar led the vanguard, and slew Mildenhall's two sons in personal combat, leaving a daughter as his only heir. In a final charge of King Gerold's legionnaires the battle was decisively ended when the Mildenhall lines broke and Lord Ephraim was grievously wounded.
With news from Nieugarten of a series of mysterious incidents that would eventually lead into to the Koisani Invasion of Exscillon, Ephraim Mildenhall was executed and his daughter and only remaining heir Blaithen Mildenhall would marry Eadwine Maethelgar to unite the families as one and keep the peace. They would eventually have a son, Eaoic.

Eadwine was the epitome of the handsome young knight. He had medium length blonde hair, often combed straight back and slicked with wax or oil. He had blue eyes, and a chiseled clean shaven face. In battle Eadwine wore full plate armor covered in a tunic of House Maethelgar colors. He fought with a xalinite long sword, and many considered him to be the best swordsmen in all of Heimark .
