Duke of Granvalle Presses Claim

Diplomatic action

Duke of Granvalle presses his claim on the Great Vale and Derwon Castle.

Long ago the Duchy of The Great Vale encompassed the entirety of The Great Vale. Sometime during the 6th century the duke of the Vale died and his domain was divided among his twin sons. Thus, the duchy was split in two: The Duchy of The Great Vale and the Duchy of Granvalle. Both duchies were independent, but through marriage Granvalle would become part of the Kingdom of Burbry during the 7th century. The Duchy of the Great Vale was conquered by Fendalian kings some time during the 10th century.   Reginald V's grandmother had a claim on the Duchy of the Great Vale. Reginald V used this to justify his ambitions to reunite the Duchy of Vale once more. On 15 Feveron 1243 Reginald send a messenger to Duke Anwil, declaring his claim on the Duchy of the Great Vale and Derwon Castle, and his intentions to take both.
