The House of Preussens, or simply House Preussens, is a cadet branch of the House of Horen, and the former ruling house of both the Kingdom of Vandoria and the Kingdom of Lotharingia. They previously held the fortress of Caer Ostwick, and the title 'Prince of Pruvia'. The current head of House Preussens is Eleanor Preussens.
Following their appointment of nobility in the Kingdom of Haense, an agreement was made in 1704, simplifying the house's name to simply Preussens, in order to represent their solidarity as a cadet house. In 1721, the House Preussens was granted permission by King Andrew III of Haense to return to the Imperial Crownlands, as vassals to their cousins of the House of Cascadia.
History
As House Horen-Preussens
The original line of House Horen-Preussens originates from Godfrey, King of Vandoria following his elevation to the position in 1547. Inheriting a weary and war-torn kingdom, the legitimized baseborn son of John I, Holy Orenian Emperor founded the House of Horen-Preussens to establish his own ruling line, separate from that of his father's own. However, in 1562, Godfrey abdicated in favor of his young son, John-Leopold. The reign of young John, known to be more prone to frivolity and expedience rather than truly learning to govern, was troubled from the start. The kingdom fell into steady decline, each of the remaining vassal lords ruling their own lands almost like petty kingdoms. In 1563, only a year into John's reign, a farfolk man known as Ashruf Kaneen served as a rally point for the wayward lords of Vandoria, declaring a great rebellion against the teenage King in favor of Kaneen, a descendant of the House Kharadeen.
