Hot-Tempered Weakling

Tropes

The Hero™ of his own story
Hautblood family has ethnic Gaston origins
He is the second son—wasn't meant/expected to inherit, & wasn't knighted by right; older brother (knighted) died in battle

Father and brother both died the same year; bro died in battle [against Antagonese raiders], father died "getting revenge"

[Vicious rumours] (Sow Dissent success against him)
Trying to get his leige to upgrade him to Vicarl
Quite often can be found "drunk on duty" and suffering impaired judgement as a result

Primary: A good harvest last year, and a relatively-mild winter, have led to surpluses. The Baron is weighing options regarding what to do with it: push to collect overdue taxes? Store up the surplus for bad times? Liquidate the surpluses to pay for expansion and/or possible military action?
Secondary: The baroness was getting a little stir-crazy at the estate, with the children away at court, so Lord Graige allowed her the task of redecorating/renovating the manor. Now, every time he retires to the country, nothing is where/how he left it, and not always quite fully "thought through."
