The House of Demitreus is the reigning family of Lourenne, Rildanor and Telamon .
History
In the 3350s, the journeyman and warrior Joseph Demitreus led a company of other journeyman warriors and their families, including his brothers Oscar and Louis, and his sisters Caroline and Lucia, to Lourenne. In 3352, after conquering the country, Joseph's band of soldiers proclaimed him Emperor Joseph I of Lourenne. Joseph reigned well until his deposition in a coup in 3364, but his grandson and namesake was restored as Joseph II in the year 3400. After a tumultuous quarter-century, Emperor Marcus I was thrown from power in 3425 and the Demitreus family began their 63-year exile from Lourenne.
During this time, the post of High King of Rildanor became vacant, but the Rildanorian parties desired to retain the monarchy, toying with the idea of an elective monarchy for a while. In the year 3455, Joseph III became Emperor-in-exile of Lourenne, and urged his cousin, Duke Philip of Louives, to put his name forward for the role. This proposal was enthusiastically supported by the Rildanorian parties, and they acclaimed Duke Philip as High King Philip I of Rildanor, founding a new branch of Demetrei rule.
In 3488, the House of Demitreus was restored once more in Lourenne under Emperor Joseph IV.
In 3511, Prince Paul-Thomas of Oscandir, the nephew of Emperor Louis II, was acclaimed as King Thomas of Telamon.
