Castillo del León

Castillo del León (Castle of the Lion in English) is a castle near the city of Gerona in northern Spain. It is currently occupied by Prince Ezequiel Clemente, who makes use of the keep as his home, headquarters, and personal residence.

History
Castillo del León was not always called such. It was formerly known as Castillo del Guardabosques (Castle of the Ranger in English), the headquarters of the legendary Ranger Order, and was constructed to serve such a purpose. For decades, the castle was used to train members of the Ranger order, house said members, plan Spain's military operations and campaigns, and, during the short period of time that Spain was ruled by the Ranger Lords Council, the castle was used to rule over the entirety of Spain. However, with the disappearance of Lunius Sargento, the death of Hector Wildhayes, and the turning of King Philip Clemente V's attention to greater concerns, the order fell, and Castillo del Guardabosques was abandoned.

In 1750, after the Restoration of the Spanish Monarchy, and his promotion to the rank of Hand of the King, Prince Ezequiel Clemente returned to Castillo del Guardabosques, and put a significant sum of his own funds towards restoring, renovating, and refurbishing the castle, which had fallen into disrepair. After the renovations were complete, Ezequiel moved into the castle himself, renaming it "Castillo del León" in honor of the lion sigil of House Clemente. He spends his time living either in Castillo del León or Fin de la Tormenta, the castle of his older brother, and the center of the Spanish government, in Cádiz."*To apply to join the personal service/staff of Prince Ezequiel Clemente, and thus become a resident of Castillo del León, contact the Prince."
