Geijer Dynasty

The House of Geijer (Befäskarsh: Geijerätten) is a dynasty of Befäskarsh-origin, and a branch of the House of Asplund, sometimes referred to as the House of Asplund-Geijer. It is the oldest royal House of Kazulia, consists of Rasmus Geijer, the founder of the dynasty and his male-line descendants who ruled in Kazulia without interruption from 2387 to 3358. That line was succeeded by cadet branches, the Houses of Vigen and then Kolstad, which ruled in Kazulia without similar interruption. The dynasty had a crucial role in the formation of the modern Kazulian state. Initially obeyed only in their own demesne, Dreton, the Geijer kings slowly but steadily increased their power and influence until it grew to cover the entirety of their realm. The Geijers generally enjoyed a harmonious family relationship. By tradition, younger sons and brothers of the King of Kazulia are given appanages for them to maintain their rank and to dissuade them from claiming the Kazulian crown itself.

House of Gyllenhaal
The death of Ögge triggered a power struggle between between the House of Gyllenhaal and the House of Hammarström over control of the Kazulian throne. Gyllenhaal claimed the right to the succession by male-only primogeniture, having the closest all-male line of descent from a recent Kazulian king.They were descendents from the second son of Erengisle VI, Isak, Count of Gyllenhaal. The Gyllenhaal would rule in Kazulia without interruption until the line became extinct in 3289.
