The Golden Company and the Blackfire Rebellion

The lands of new barrel were established after the third Blackfire Rebellion, when you would have a time that rebellious lords would have lands taken away from them. And those who stayed loyal would have these lands given to them. So if we see Younggryph grant this title to Franklin Flowers, because he's a captain in the Golden Company, I guess he is a captain. That would make him perhaps similar to his distant ancestor, Sir Derek Fosseway, who as an exile might infamous enough to have been one of the band of nine,. AKA the Nine Penny Kings. He probably wanted Cider Hall too, among other things.
