Thought people might enjoy this. It's a bit deceptive, though. At one Royal feast for Henry VIII there were over four hundred guests and at least five times as many servants. The sheer scale is mind boggling, and this was a regular occurrence. One of the reason Henry 'progressed' (traveled to the great Houses of his nobles) was so he didn't have to pay for all this himself. A royal visit could come close to bankrupt a smaller holding (and many tried very hard to avoid the 'honor' of a visit).

Senechal of House Lavelle (Status 3 (2B Reputation))

Marked: Heterochomatic eyes. (Right eye is white. Left eye is black.), Prejudiced: Septons

Known to be an amiable and helpful young man (if a little strange). Excels in organization and solving problems.

Cheers! The financial impact of the royal progress comes up a couple of times in Fire & Blood.

They did Tudor Monestary Farm as well, but I think this is better. Not a lot of difference between the two periods from a commoner perspective.
