    it amongst the poor tenants.
    Lord Ashtown was another big landlord. He lives in Woodlawn, and was considered a very bad landlord. He was supposed to be a tyrant, and used to evict tenants from their homes, whether they paid their rent or not.
    If any house stood in any part of his land within view of his demesne that would spoil the view of the place, he had the tenant immediately evicted, and his home-stead knocked to the ground. His land has been taken from him long since, and divided amongst the people.
