History of Aldersberg
Origins
The beginning of Aldersberg would be that of a Barony granted to Hadrien de Sarkozy in the realm of Anthos. The county title of Aldersberg would first be known far before Joseph and the Holy Orenian Empire, existing previously in the realm of in Athera, a titled held by Olivier de Savoie who would construct a town north of Petrus alongside others including Sylvester Halcourt who would take the title after him, and Augustus fornier. The city would flourish with citizens, being named the capital city of the Duchy of Savoy for some time until its eventual destruction after the Horen Restoration. (wip, if you know anything else feel free to add it!)
Present Day
The House Novellen-Aldersberg finds its origins with Joseph Leopold Novellen, the sixth issue of Emperor Joseph II, and thus was not expected to inherit. Yet as an Imperial Prince was granted a title, so the county of Aldersberg would be given to him alongside. The land would be used by Joseph, as a retreat from the imperial palace. The county as a territory not being much more than an estate and a small plot for farming. Joseph would have five children with his wife, Henrietta Maria of Osterland.
Succeeding Joseph was George Alexander. His reign was mostly unremarkable, his wife Juliya of Susa and children, mainly that of Georgiana Maria, taking up the responsibilities of day-to-day management. Hosting court events, which Aldersberg has become known for. George would die of an abrupt illness that quickly ended his life in 1862. Succeeding him was his son, Edward Clement. Who boasts a large collection of antiques. Edward is best known for his work in the Court, serving as the Lord Chamberlain. Edward married Anne of Sunholdt in the Aster Hall and the two have so far only had one son, Alexander Leopold
