Editing Cregan Stark (section)

===The Regency era===
Upon his return to [[Winterfell]] in {{Date|132}}, Cregan wed [[Alysanne Blackwood]]. Her nephew [[Benjicot Blackwood]], [[Lord of Raventree Hall]], was in attendance.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} 

Later that same year, however, the North was one of the first regions in Westeros struck by the [[Winter Fever]], which continued through {{Date|133}}. The plague eventually spread to most of Westeros as far south as the Blackwater, but it was noted to be much more aggressive in cold climates. When it spread to King's Landing, it killed one fifth of the city, thus, the death rate was apparently much greater in the North, where [[White Harbor]] and [[Barrowton]] were hard hit (White Harbor is the North's only city, while Barrowton and the [[Winter town]] outside Winterfell are the only two settlements large enough to be called proper "towns"). 

With the North so badly weakened from winter famine and then the devastating sickness, the [[Free Folk|wildlings]] from beyond the Wall seized on the opportunity to launch major raids into the south. In {{Date|133}} a wildling chieftain called [[Sylas the Grim]] led a large force of 3,000 to force their way south of the Wall at [[Queensgate]] (overwhelming the Night's Watch garrison). Afterward, they proceeded to plunder the lands of the [[Gift]]. Lord Cregan rode forth from Winterfell and rallied what able-bodied men were left to his banner: [[House Glover|Glovers]] of Deepwood Motte, [[House Flint of the mountains|Flints]] and [[House Norrey|Norreys]] from the hill clans, and a hundred [[rangers]] of the Night's Watch. Cregan's combined force then hunted down and destroyed Sylas's raiding bands.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

After the death of Queen [[Jaehaera Targaryen]] later in 133 AC, Cregan objected to the suggestion of [[Unwin Peake]], [[Lord of Starpike]] and [[Hand of the King]], that King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] wed his daughter, [[Myrielle Peake]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}
