Seyfried-Goodwell Border Dispute

The Seyfried-Goodwell Border Dispute is a series of armed and unarmed civil disputes between Lady Rosielyn Seyfried of Lontshire and Lord Carlin Goodwell of neighboring Rothinshire along the eastern border of Lontshire.

History
The dispute dates back to the reign of Lord Nicolas V. Seyfried of Lontshire during 185 K.C., when he consolidated what was considered to be unclaimed land for the Barony of Lontshire. With no official word of contest from neighboring nobles, the capture was considered legal and the land is held under the banner of Lontshire to this day.

The start of the dispute came up when Baron Goodwell in 619 K.C. accused the House of Seyfried of the illegal holding of lands and demanded that they be returned to the rightful ancestral owners, that being the Barons of Goodwell. He continued to press his claims against the House of Seyfried, verbally calling them out civil conquering.

The first death in the dispute came in the summer of 621 K.C., when an armsmen of Lontshire was found dead on the border between the two fiefdoms, the victim of an ambush from Rothinshire armsmen. Baron Goodwell denied any wrongdoing in the attack. The second occuring not two months later, when a farmer was found beaten to death on his own property, close to the border.

In the summer of 623 K.C., a patrol consisting of Lance Corporal Gaerret Canmore and Knight-Sergeant Gallahad was ambushed by four Rothinshire armsmen. The two Lontshire armsmen were able to fend off the ambush, wounding two of them. The attack was met with reinforcement along the border, as well as regular patrols. Baroness Seyfried met with King Varian and Baron Goodwell, but no sort of agreement or pact was reached.
