## History

### Origins

Born in the **Autumn of 86 CE** during the **First Eastville Campaign**, he is the bastard son of **Lord Patrick II Polto** (then Ser Patrick Polto) and an unknown maiden of Eastville. He is the secondborn son of Lord Patrick.

He grew up in the house of a ship captain, **Timothy Eastborn** who married his mother when he was just an infant, and raised him up alongside his other children. His mother's brother, his uncle, Ser Walton Eastborn was a second father to him, who taught him how to handle a sword and how to hunt with bow and arrow.

During the **Second Eastville Campaign**, David a young lad joined the army as a soldier. In 102 CE, David had earned a name among his fellow companions and the company that stayed near Jakehall, which was protected by his company to his pursuit of a young maiden. In the Fall of 102 CE, Jakehall was invaded by a mercenary army and the David's company barely managed to hold the line while reinforcement of House Polto led by **Ser Nathan Polto** arrived. David went on to resent Ser Nathan to the loss of nearly a hundred men in battle to the late arrival of the knight to rescue.

Later in 103 CE, a tourney took place in Jakehall where the young maiden whom David liked was harassed by Ser Nathan to which the young lad challenged him to a duel. Ser Nathan defeated the young lad with ease and killed the young maiden's father and brothers later to take revenge on, and raped the young maiden while David was exiled to the Free Cities.

### Knighthood

During his time in the free cities, David came under the mentorship of a clever ship captain, '**Thomas Seaborn**' who taught David how to sail and understand his environment. David went on to become a sellsword under the alias, '**Isa the Mercenary**' and traveled various towns and cities seeking adventure. One of these adventures led him back to his homeland, Eastville where a battle was taking place as the eight knightly houses fought each other for control. David under his alias joined the cause in favor of the knightly house, '**House of Tore**' along with his company of mercenaries numbering to thirty skilled fighters.

From 103 CE to 105 CE, the '**First Revolt of Eastville**' took place where three of eight houses were killed in battle and the line ended, while two houses were nearly extinct, with three houses remaining as the main knightly houses of Eastville. David was knighted along with his men, and given Jakehall as his own land.

### Lordship

Following his ownership of land and knighthood, Ser David was also appointed as judge to a trial to the fate of the two houses who were to be exiled from **Eastville** for almost three years as per rule. In the trial, Lord **Dustin Polto** along with his household when found guilty by Ser **David Eastborn**, Ser **Addam Tore**, and Lord **Kevan Weasley**, pled to the trial of three, a trial by combat to which all three judges responded, and Lord Dustin Polto along with his eldest son Lord **Patrick II Polto** and his oldest grandson Ser **Nathan Polto** were defeated, to which Ser David asked for ownership of the family's seat to which it was revealed that Ser David was the bastard son of **Lord Patrick Polto** born in **Autumn of 86 CE** during the **First Eastville Campaign** when Lord Patrick was a young knight.

Ser David was granted ownership and later judged his half-brother **Nathan Polto** for murder of a family of six in **Jakehall** in 103 CE during a tourney held there, and beheaded him without a thought. Taking claim over the household, Ser David became the Lord of Jakehall and the **New Head of House Polto** with its former executed and his grandfather banished to the Free Cities.

### Marriage

Following his Lordship of Jakehall, Lord David attended a tourney that same autumn in Edford Castle that was held in honor of **Lord Tore's daughter** and **Ser Addam's sister**, Lady Lorene Tore. During the tourney, Lord David jousted and defeated five consecutive knights until he was defeated by Ser **Addam Tore** who won the tourney and crowned his younger sister, Lady Carol Tore as the "**Queen of Silver Hearts**" (fourth only to the Queen of Silver Beauty).

Following the joust, Lord David danced with Lady Carol at the floor and later asked for hand in marriage by his dear friend, Ser Addam Tore. Upon the agreement, Lord David and Lady Carol were wed at the **Chapel in Edford Castle** just days after the ceremony of Lady Lorene and Lord Christoph.
