It is not written in the entire series who was the reigning badger lord in Matthias's time.
In the first book, Brian Jacques has not yet invented Salamandastron.
In Redwall, Brian Jacques does not state who is the reigning badger lord during the time of Matthias.
Lord Brocktree is the badger who takes over rule of Salamandastron in the book "Salamandastron."
If you are referring to the book "Redwall," there is no mention of Salamandastron as far as I can remember. If you are referring to the Redwall Series in general, the Badger Lord lives on Salamandastron along with his/her army, the Long Patrol, which is made up of hares. I hope that answered your question
Yes. The Badger Lords or Ladies rule over Salamandastron in the Redwall series.
Mara in Salamandastron is not the same. Or else they would have the same name.
The chronological order of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques is as follows: "Martin the Warrior," "Mossflower," "The Legend of Luke," "Outcast of Redwall," "Mariel of Redwall," "The Bellmaker," "Salamandastron," "Redwall," "Mattimeo," "The Pearls of Lutra," "The Long Patrol," "Marlfox," "The Taggerung," "Triss," "Loamhedge," "Rakkety Tam," "High Rhulain," "Eulalia!," "Doomwyte," "The Sable Quean," "The Rogue Crew."
The first book in the Redwall series is "Redwall," written by Brian Jacques. It was published in 1986 and introduces readers to the world of Redwall Abbey and its animal inhabitants.
Redwall Abbey is the reason why the book is called Redwall.
The reigning badger lord and the hares of the long patrol.
Mattimeo. It has the same characters from the first Redwall book.
"The best Redwall book to read first is 'Redwall,' the first book in the series by Brian Jacques. It introduces the world of Redwall Abbey and its animal inhabitants, setting the stage for the adventures that follow in the series."
The recommended reading order for the Redwall book series is to start with "Redwall" and then read the books in the order they were published.
