At the table

Eleanor is the only woman carrying a Great House in her own right; three male cousins contested her succession and lost standing to her accounts, witnesses and prosecutions. Ruinous to anyone falsifying a range book or convoy loss. Named only in passing in the alignments of the four Great Houses; its rank is not stated in this part.
