High Reaches Hold

Jamson was Lord Holder of High Reaches Hold late in the First Interval and early in the Second Pass.

Biography[]

Jamson was born at High Reaches Hold. His wife, Lady Thea, gave birth to fourteen of Lord Jamson's children during the course of her fertile years: sufficient to substantially increase the borders of the hold when the children were old enough to claim their land grants.

At the time of the planned impeachment of Lord Holder of Bitra Hold Chalkin, Jamson was elderly and experiencing memory loss. He often countermanded orders he had written out himself. Since Jamson was opposed to the impeachment of Chalkin, but was considered by all to be not well enough to make an informed decision, his eldest son Gallian, who was the acting steward, helped his mother and others get Jamson out of the way long enough for Gallian to provide the required unanimous vote for impeachment.
