As the king's grasp fails and the evil son's gains, have some of the nobels be evil too and basically abusing the villagers. The PCs have to become bandits to save the village (by stealing back the "taxes" of their harvests that they'll need to survive the winter and plant next spring). From there they end up becoming Robin Hood characters fighting the evil lords, supported by the villagers, all the while the good lords in the capital don't really have an idea of what's going on and perhaps send a paladin to stop them. Meanwhile, the good son is sent off to fight a war and the king "dies" leaving the evil son and daughter as regents. The youngest son hears the villagers sides of things and can aid the PC "bandits".  Perhaps leading up to an assasination plot on the good son as he returns that only the PCs can try and stop. Even if they succeed, they may still be wanted men as the good son will have no idea why they snuck in to his camp and killed those trusted nobels. If they fail, then they have to not only kill the evil son but come up with a replacement to keep the kingdom from falling into chaos.</p></blockquote><p></p>
