Barony of Winen
Background
Castle Winen was built by King Chafin I in 701TR to be the eyes and ears of the crown in Northern Kingdom of Rethem, and to slow the growing power of Clan Lynnaeus, the Earl of Tormau. Some say the Earl had King Chafin assassinated for this insult.
Castle Winen was the Shire Moot of Hohnamshire, with the appointed Sheriff controlling of Royal Justice and Taxation serving at the pleasure of the King. However, the Sheriff and his staff were captured in 701TR after the Earl of Tormau rebelled against the Crown.
