By some twist of fate, I had managed to have a son, Preston Hightower, just before I was captured. He was promptly joined by nearly all of my Hightower vassals and quickly won the war then imprisoned me (Denys). Unfortunately, Rorge wasn't too happy about this and declared war on me. So I died in a trial by combat (most of my Hightowers have died in some form of combat or were murdered) and then Denys inherited my titles. So then I had to assassinate both his wife and his sole heir, which due to some weird succession law on his wife's side, meant he was now skipped over in the succession and my second son Denys was now my heir. Retrospectively, this was rather foolish of me, as now all my vassals had claims on my main titles.Īll was actually going fine and dandy, until one of my grandsons (aptly named Rorge) made a foolish matrilineal marriage, which I didn't realise until I was playing as his father. I'd falsified claims and married off children to make us High Lords of Oldtown and the Westmarch, but I'd installed Hightower family members as the lords in each county. It was surprising how quickly I managed to recover House Hightower after what was essentially an inter-family civil war lasting 3 generations. My House Hightower are currently the Kings of the Reach (encompassing the Reach, the Vale and the North) and I wrote out my 'rags to riches' (well, riches to kingly riches) story of House Hightower.

This mod is probably one of the best I've ever played.
