## History

### Background

In 78 CE, during the reign of **King Edgar I**, a rebellion sprout in the **Westernlands**, led by the exiled prince, **Prince Romes**, uncle to King Edgar I and a warlord of many battles. This rebellion led to the **South Frontier Campaign**, where hundreds died for the war of the crown. During the South Frontier Campaign, a young sellsword became the sworn sword of Lord Victor Roosevelt. In 83 CE, the sellsword named Gerold killed the rebellious commander of knights, **Ser Clegane of Armstead**, a war lieutenant of Prince Romes, and was rewarded with knighthood, to which he took the formal name, "**Ser Gerold of Abbott**" and the title following, "***Ser Gerold the Knightslayer***".

In 86 CE, the **Crown** alongside the forces of **Westernlands**, **Greenlands**, and **Vale** fought at the **Battle of Ashford**, a great battle that determined the fate of the kingdom. The crown numbering 20,000 men and 5,000 ships faced **Prince Gomes** alongside the **Kingdoms of Tyrinia** and **Ashford**, counting 10,000 knights, 20,000 footsoldiers, and 10,000 ships, nearly twice of the crown's army. During the Battle of Ashford, thousands died for the right cause, and thousands perished for the wrong one. In this great battle, a holy help aided the crown against the rebellions, that was the **Great and Mighty Legion of Pompeii**. The Holy Empire of Roma besieged the Kingdom of Tyrinia and sent aid of 10,000 warships to the Sternlands. Prince Gomes retreated with a hundred loyalists into the sea.

### Lordship

After the **Battle of Ashford**, for his ever loyalty and valor, **Ser Gerold of Abbott** was given lordship over lands and a small holding by the eastern riverfront of West River, a strategical location between the **West River**, the **Brown Hills Forrest** and **Dunharrow**.

From 84 CE to 95 CE, House Abbott formed strong ties with vassal banners, including **House Torres**, **House Padbury**, **House Smallrich**, **House Reddrow**, and **House Stockwell**, three of whom became prominent allies of **House Abbott of Greaseberry**.
