Biography
King Godred lived in Ulfstead Castle and fought off invaders from the island with the aid of his knights. Life was good under Godred's reign. It was considered a Golden Age and Godred wore a golden crown. At some point, King Godred's crown was stolen by thieves. The thieves were caught, but the crown was not seen again for hundreds of years.
Centuries after Godred's death, Sir Robert Norramby restored King Godred's castle as a tourist attraction and wanted the crown to complete his plan. Stephen eventually found the crown hidden in the mines below the castle. Once found, the crown was recovered and put on display within the castle.
Two thieves would later attempt to steal the crown from the castle, but were foiled by Toby and his crew.[1]
