House of Wrede

The House of Wrede is the reigning family of Telamon. It is a cadet branch of the earlier reigning House of Hammarjhelm, descended from King Gustav's younger son, Jörgen.

History
The House of Wrede took its name from the famous Sevescian Wrede Castle. It was the title granted to King Gustav's grandson by his younger son, Hugo who in turn was the grandfather of King Gustav Adolph. After the extinction of the senior branch of House Hammarjhelm, the Wredes became the heirs general of King Gustav's line and assumed pretence to the royal title throughout the years of the Demitriads (3411-40) and the republic (3540-95) and also the title of Duke of Sevescia amongst other titles

In 3594 amidst a period of republican anarchy, the Wredes led by Gustav Adolph, Duke of Sevescia created a monarcihst political movement and after winning the presidency in late 3594, restored the monarchy the following year.

Succession
Despite the practice of semi salic law in the Hammarjhelm days, the Wredes have adopted the Salic law, barring female succession under all circumstances.
