House of Ruthern-Batavus
|
The House of Ruthern-Batavus was a cadet house of House Ruthern, and a vassal of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. The House was the ruling house of the Viscounty of Batavia.
History
One day Ivan Ruthern Batavus alongside a few of his friends stormed into the lands west of Oren known as Brunswick. They defeated many foes there and when the battle was done, they had couped the lands. Once Andrew IV, King of Hanseti-Ruska heard of Ivan's brave deeds he was bestowed the title Viscount of Batavia, and he became a vassal of Haense. This lead to the creation of his cadet-house Ruthern-Batavus. Although the city was know under Ivan's control, there was still much work to be done. The battle left many buildings and parts of the city destroyed. The Viscount wasted no time, he immediately contacted his good long time friend Chef Hogo Bojo to design the plans for the cities restoration and renovations. Once the plans were drawn out, Ivan hired workers to help gather materials for the city and to help construct it. Thus the multi year restoration effort began. Hogo continued to commute to the land every day from his home in New Reza to oversee and help in the construction of the city as Ivan had business he had to attend to during the restoration effort. After many years the city was restored. The city had many houses, shops, a keep, and a chapel on-top of the highest hill overlooking the city. Upon the completion of the Viscounty, Ivan returned to look upon his land. The man was pleased beyond belief, and was amazed by the transformation the previously destroyed city had undergone. (WIP)
