History

In the Autumn of 805, in the aftermath of the assassination of Duke Frederick of Aquila a jury of his peers found Count Richard guilty in absentia on charges of sedition and passed sentence of exile (to be at least 1000 miles from the Western Kindom) upon pain of death. (Not that there was any evidence, or indeed any indication that Richard was involved in the assassination, rather that the political climate in the Kingdom in the weeks after the Duke's death was such that nobles needed to be seen to act, and Foxcourt made a convenient target... and he was no doubt guilty of many things, if not this).

The County of Foxcourt was left vacant and administered by William Fortbrass a cousin of the Marquessa of Bowcourt.

At Samhain 805 the Marquessa declared that Newcourt and Faircourt were to become her direct vassals.
