House d'Amaury was formerly the ruling family over the Kingdom of Lotharingia, reigning from 1593 to 1614. Before that, they were Dukes of Lorraine and Archdukes of Lorraine and Kaedrin.
Formation
House d’Amaury was founded in 1521 after Augustus d'Amaury, formerly of de Sola, found himself emerging victorious in the Dukes' War against the Adrian dissenters opposing the crown rule during the late 1510’s and early 1520’s. Despite a lack of prior military experience, the youthful Lord Marshal proved to be a brilliant strategist and skilled tactician, rallying the forces of the Loyalists against the internal threat.
Over the concurrent course of the bloody war, all thoughts of a swift Vladovic conquest were soon extinguished under the force of Augustus’ shrewd and tactful military acumen. Following the stratagems of his predecessors that favored bold, open-field engagements over sieges, the cunning young soldier was able to rapidly turn the tide in favour of his liege. Time and time again, the well-drilled shock infantry units under the commander repelled the opposing cavalrymen characteristic of their Raev foes. Those who thought it a hasty and impudent decision to promote Augustus to Lord Marshal were soon overturned as tales of the man’s daring victories reached their ears.
Between his valiant triumphs over the rebels, and despite his devotion to claiming a hard-won victory, the young d'Amaury frequented through a maze of courtiers Annabelle de Bar, daughter of the Lord Chancellor. Soon after the war Guy, his dear friend, organised a marriage between the two, and in a ceremony devoid of fanfare the pair were wed. Better still, the fledgling nobleman was granted the rich, extensive lands of the former Adriatic Duchy, guaranteeing his newfound house into the annuls of history as wealthy landowners of verdant and lush plains.
