SIR Baldwin De GRAVELOCK of GRENEHOWE.
Resident of MANSFORD HALL

1,107 Acres of land with Grazing Rights in the Dales and Marches and the Right to Equip One Hundred Men-at-Arms.

As described by Morris Blackkettle:

A proud and sometimes haughty man. Very wealthy but despite his considerable assets, De Gravelock seldom pays his taxes on time and often appears reluctant to pay any expense that does not have an immediete personal advantage. I have had to visit him personally on four occaisions to secure full payment of taxes.

In his youth Sir Baldwin took part in numerous expeditions of a mercantil nature to Skavva. During this time, I understand he saw considerable action fighting alongside the Skavvian Prince Olaf of Kötka.

Sir Baldwin and Lady has but one child, his son Wilhelm.
