I don't remember that, I recall that the Reachmen are the result of Breton and Nord\Nede inter breeding. First a group of Bretons wandered into the Reach which was inhabited by Nords\Nedes, and after a few centuries they merged into the modern day Reachmen. So the Reach belongs to them as they are the descendants of the Nords who inhabited it earlier.

I never called them peaceful, they are certainly the opposite, but if we are going by the books, particularly Red Eagle, then they started getting really violent because the Nords were taking over their land, for example they started appreciating Hagravens when the Nords were fighting them, so the reason they are like this way now is because the Nords taking their land. And again the way they are currently being treated by the Nords is inexcusable.
