Well, I just finished reading the 'History of the Kingdom of the West'
(from the First Tourney onwards- it is a fascinating read!) and IIRC yes,
the Barony of Atenvelt was the first Barony- it was the latest 'new thing'
as they were trying to figure out what to do with this new organization...

There seems to be an ongoing debate as to which is the Oldest Barony in An
Tir- Three Mountains and Madrone were created Baronies on the same day, in
the same court. Apparently Thrre Mountains was announced first, but as
Madrone starts with M it is first in the OP. So go figure. It's like
listening to identical twins arguing about who's older...
