So what happens then? Land is Barren, House is destroyed.

In 20 years a young family moves onto the land from behind the hill and starts their own farm there?

100 years later it’s back to normal with only old stories and maybe some ruins about the destruction?

There wouldn't be a family behind the hill. They'd have been killed too.

People would have moved back, over time. Lords would have convinced people to move to the northern countryside from the south and from cities like York which weren't devastated. People who managed to flee south - or north to Scotland - might have eventually returned because that's their home damnit, it's all they know and they're going to rebuild as best they can.

But it would have taken time. A lot of it.
