Baron is claiming my land?

[KnightedWarrior]

He's claiming my settlement for some reason.
I walked away afk for a bit, and when I came back it said he was claiming it in progress.
How do I stop this?
Do I need to reload my save earlier, or something?
I have 2 retinue at 24 men each, 2 shieldmen at 26/28 men, and 2 polearms at 16/20 men.

Fight him. hire all available mercs, setup your spear guys, and any retinue. send them over to fight.

I hear a lot of complaints about archers. but they seem to be the only units able to stand up to the barons retinue.

I had an all melee fight, and another where one set of mercs i hired were archers. its the only time I cant seem to get them to win.

The all melee troops get wiped out pretty quick. but the archers were almost unkillable.

...or yes reload an earlier save.

I hired battle brothers to add 2 extra squads to my army, then squashed the baron's troops like pancakes.
Fun first actual battle.

I started a claim against his land, and now he wants to pay me 360s to stop.
How much treasury do I get if I win against him?
Should I take it?
