House of Kortrevich

|
The House of Kortrevich (Common: Kortrevich; High Imperial: Kortrevinus) is a militant Highlander House sworn to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. The House was originally established by the first patriarch, Lord Otto Kortrevich following the titular enfeoffment of the Barony of Koravia by His Royal Majesty, King Marius II. The family retains its formidable stature in the Haeseni peerage and continues to duly serve their country through contributing towards the Kingdom's military, economic and political functionaries. Since its establishment, the family has consummated marriages to several Haeseni houses including the Houses of Baruch, Vyronov, Alimar and Vanir.
