History

A bastard from Houses Blackwood and Bracken, Benedict Rivers was despised as a boy.

Benedict was able to defeat all petty kings in the riverlands over more than thirty years, after which he allowed himself to be crowned.[1]

As king, Benedict the Bold became known as Benedict the Just, which led to him naming his family House Justman. During his twenty-three-year reign, Benedict I expanded east to Maidenpool and north to the Neck. He was succeeded by his son, King Benedict II Justman.[1]
