Wilton

Description
Founded initially in the remains of a Roman legionary war camp, Wilton is a market town located in South-Western Salisbury on the shores of the river Naddar, which generates most of the livelihood for the town through fishing, trade and farming. The location along the river has made Wilton the center of trade for much of the surrounding land, bringing much prosperity to whoever holds the town though tariffs and tolls exacted in addition to the additional peasants working for harvests and livelihood in the area. Due to the importance of the town, it has been fortified with a simple ditch and rampart, built along the lines of the old Roman camp, which lends the somewhat unusual square shape of the town compared to more traditional round enclosures.

With the death of King Uther and so many of the high lords, much of the trade in Logres ceased as anarchy took over and rulers started to look after their own interests. This affected Wilton as much as any trading hub. The town still remains important enough, for the river still gives fish and the land still gives produce and the market in Wilton remains active with the peasants from the nearby manors and Vills bringing their produce to be sold at the market. The most important local produce is wool from the Western and South-Western hill villages, then further refined in town. Perhaps the most important shipments to arrive by river are from Warminster, which provides Salisbury with all the local iron. These shipments are rare and precious, but are just enough to keep the local armourer and blacksmith stocked.

Staff and Garrison
The town of Wilton was gifted as an estate by Countess Ellen to befit sir Hilfbert his new rank as banneret in recognition of his continued loyal service of Salisbury. Sir Hilfbert decided to move his court to his new estate, already planning to improve on the fortifications of the town and helping secure the South according to an indirect suggestion of countess Ellen.

The town has a permanent garrison of 30 footmen, their officers and two resident knights sirs Kened and Rhett. Though not officially under the jurisdiction of sir Hilfbert, the garrison still recognises him as the holder of the town by will of the Earl of Salisbury. The garrison is supplied by the town and surrounding countryside and is not directly included in the estate nor servitum debituum of sir Hilfbert.
