tokeworth is an old but rather unimportant house in the Crownlands. The first Stokeworth raised a keep and a palisade, claiming the surrounding lands, fertile, bountiful and watered by the Blackwater. For centuries the Stokeworths served a liege or another unwilling to commit themselves in a fight for supremacy. When Targaryen came, riding their dragons, with fire and steel, Stokeworth swiftly pledged their fealty to their new King. When Aegon raised the Aegonfort, the core of what would become the Red Keep and King's Landing itself, the Stokeworths gained in importance, for they became the breadbasket of the Crownlands, along the lands of Rosby. Simple, honest and industrious the Stokeworths amassed a fortune, rebuilding Stokeworth into something more than a simple keep, a palatial fortified residence. Defenses weren't important considering the Dragons lived at their doorstep and Stokeworths were always Proud to be Faithful. Being directly sworn to the King they answer no-one but him. House Stokeworth has provided the Dragon Kings more than one Master of Laws and Master of Coin. The small court of Stokeworth is a elegant and refined place, home to courtly love, bards and pageantry.
Food Supplies: The breadbasket of the Crownlands, Stokeworth has access to a larger regional levy granting an additional 500 Land levy points.

BIOGRAPHY:
Harry was the third but only living son born to Lord Hendry Stokeworth and Lady Joyeuse Meadows. Five years later Lord Hendry died gouty and bedridden. Lady Joyeuse joined him soon afterwards, dying from consumption, an illness she had dragged for a decade. Orphan and Lord, both at young age, he grew spoiled, surrounded by his sisters’ care and pampering. With a thin and bony frame Lord Stokeworth’s appearance is somewhat delicate and childish. Still, he is a good rider and an avid falconer and his favorite hawk, Foss (called like Foss the Archer, who never missed a target) has a perch made of silver.
Lord Harry loves music and is a fluent player of the lute. Lord Stokeworth is even known to have written a song (a popular tune in the Crownlands) called “Lady Greensleeves”, inspired by Lady Ermesinde Hayford, whose hand he seeks ardently, after he fell hard for her during a feast in King’s Landing.
Harry struggles to rule his lordship on his own, but, still, relies heavily on his sisters. He knows but little about the dynastic struggles on-going on the realm. After all, Stokeworth are “proud to be faithful”…
