| − | Ser Demetrius Palaiologos, also known as Ser Demetrios, was a noble knight of Courland. He was born on 14th The Amber Cold 1528. At the age of 21 he was granted knighthood and a fief to rule, Kraken’s Watch. In 1551, Ser Demetrius swore fealty to the Duke of Courland and became a Baron. After Duke Richard retired, his youngest son became the Duke of Courland (Anden Staunton), a young and arrogant boy.(Tetoia den grafeis sto wiki). It was then when Ser Demetrius began his long journey to find Richard’s oldest son, Alexander Staunton, in order to install him in the Duchy as Duke, the rightful heir of Courland. At 1552, when Ser Demetrius returned from his journey with success, Duke Anden’s spies informed the Duke about the news. Therefore, he revoked the Barony and gave it to House Vanir. After the events that occurred, Anden hanged himself and thus Alexander was able to take control of Courland. Ser Demetrius was awarded the fief of Pyrgos for his services and later on, he and Duke Alexander planned on re-taking Kraken’s Watch so it could return to its rightful ruler. The Storming of Kraken’s Watch led to the Riga War, where Ser Demetrius killed Ser Peter Barbanov’s horse which led him to his captivity. Ser Demetrius fought in many battles during the Riga War and he was later declared War Hero by Tobias Staunton.
