The town of Knaresburgh sits on the river Nidd, in the north of England. It has a long and rich history, dating back to the Norman conquest and was instrumental in the rebellion against Henry II, which led to his downfall.
The castle, which sits on the edge of a cliff overlooking the river valley, is the seat of Lord Henry de Morville, one of the most powerful nobles in the area.
The lord’s son, Sir Denys de Morville – known as The Knight Of Ivy – is known for his skill in tournaments with both lance and sword.
The town is home to the Ivyguard, a group of elite knights who protect the town and the surrounding lands from invaders and outlaws.
Knaresburgh is a busy market town, where merchants and travellers come to trade and enjoy the festivals and fairs.
