Blood & Lust (CHA2711) supplement on pg 79 under key places you has listed

Colchester (Essex) This City, and large castle is the stronghold of the Earl of Essex. This city was founded by King Cole, a Great hero of old times who is remembered even in modern times as "Old King Cole." Colchester was the capital of Trinovantes tribe before the Romans came, and taken by them for their own provincial capital after conquest of Briton. This city was destroyed by Boudicca, but resettled later by Count Biloberis de Gannis Vassel of King Arthur.

So question is this really you gonna update the website to reflect this or go with what's their just asking mind you?

And were you gonna add the standing army's Like in the main 4th ed Main rule book I have says he has a standing army of 60 Knights and 100 Footmen here in Colchester.

Blood & Lust was published 22 years ago.

The website is therefore much more recent - where the two sources conflict take the website as authoritative. Where the two sources do not conflict you can use either, neither or both.

WRT the army size I think that the Book of Warlords (coming soon!) will probably have something to say about that, but absent that then 60K/100F sounds fine.
