Family Titles & History
Duchess of Mortagne
Charlotte Le Seur
Entitled to Duchess Charlotte Le Seur of Mortagne, situated in the mountainous regions of Anglia, Regalia. Mortagne is home to Sabille Palace, a white castle with fortifications surrounded by a collection of hamlets and villages in the nearby valleys and mountain expanse. The concentric castle was designed as a North facing defensive outpost for the Crown Isles but was converted in the centrepiece palace for the Duchy and for stylish and comfortable residence. Mortagne takes taxes from its people but boasts no specific trade or business but the forests to the East are renowned for their variety of game whilst the mountainous region offers magnificent views.

Châteaux Ussé, Regalia
The Châteaux is maintained as the city estate and home to a handful of the Le Seur family for most of the year. The large property sports an underground pool, multiple bedrooms, lavish dining areas and stunning views of the surrounding noble district.
Palais de Vignes-Doré, Ithania
[Palace of Golden Vines]. A medium sized Valeur style Chateaux in the East of Ithania, overlooking the Domaine de Diamants vineyard. This is the main residence of the mainline Le Seur family, with the vineyard managed and the land owned by Charlotte Le Seur's father Laurent II.
Domaine de Diamants: Vineyard
[Land of Diamonds]. Utilising the higher ground of Ithania to the East, this large vineyard makes wine from much older vines to make deep coloured, fine wine. The wine is aged underground before being sold across Ithania and other places but the profits from this unique yield has meant that only very recently has the family been able to afford to ship it to Regalia.
Provence du Baille, Ithania: Vineyard
A smaller vineyard in the South of Ithania that uses younger vines to produce a sweeter yield that is often blended with exotic fruits. Managed by Benoit Le Seur with the majority of its production sold Southward to affluent families in Daendroc.

Business and Culture
The Le Seur family business historically began in farming around 200AC but through some experimentation by the migrant that was Lucrece Le Seur from Anglia and his Ceardian migrant wife; the farm land was slowly developed into vineyards and the vines in Domaine de Diamants have existed just under 100 years. Following a generation of refining the wine, Charlotte Le Seur's grandfather began to commercialise the business and sold the wine to Elven settlements across Ithania. The Provence du Baille was purchased by Benoit Le Seur sometime around 265AC following a boost in the profits made from their single vineyard but it was noted that the wine took too long to age and refine to sell in bulk and so the second vineyard was purchased to design unique wines that were cheaper but of high quality.
Laurent Le Seur II was the first of the Le Seur name to commit himself to the military and served in the Regalian army as an officer for sixteen years. This move into military rubbed off on his two male children Bastien and Alphonse. Bastien took the route of military strategos and philosophy whilst Alphonse opted for the more traditional soldiers life. The women of the Le Seur family have played a very influential role in the refinement of the wines, particularly following Benoit's purchase of du Baille. The Le Seur twin sisters Charlotte and Darcie are very business minded and enjoy blending and producing the family wines to their own personal tastes.
As the liberal and laid back culture of the Champagnard lifestyle dictated, the family has grown up relatively impartial to religion, however it has never contradicted any member that wished to offer themselves to a creed or deity. Laurent II understood that they would be outsiders if they did not begin to observe some Unionist traditions and this concept has been continued by Bastien. They will attend religious gatherings and events with no hesitation when invited but they will largely avoid practicing Unionism in their own time.
Prior to 208 AC the Le Seur family history records were blank with no citable history until Lucrece Le Seur decided to take a diary of his life from the age of seven. Lucrece lived and worked on his father's farm, a Ceardian migrant who married a daughter to a freed slave family, a few miles outside of Havensreach, Ithania. Lucrece's family was best culturally identified as typically Champagnard, with a small chateaux in the countryside with livestock and farmlands. An early marriage saw his three children Laurent, Roumald and Remy brought into the world with only a single year between them around 234 AC. Despite the laid back lifestyle Lucrece enjoyed, he valued the importance of an education and had his children versed in both the common-tongue and D'Ithanie.
Laurent and Roumald were phenomenally close, even as brothers, and from memorable trips to Havensreach to indulge in the cheap ales and wines of the taverns, they both developed their obsession with fine wine; from which grew their desire to build a vineyard and produce fine and unique Ithanian wine. What started as an obsession, began to lay the foundations for a dynasty as the Le Seur brothers committed themselves to creating fine and unique flavoured wine and selling it across Ithania and Southward to rich, sophisticated Dressolini families. With the lucrative business of selling these fine and now famous wines from homegrown grapes, the Le Seur brothers became infamous to the Valeurs and Citoye nobles and families of Ithania. Both brothers married over the journey of their success and both had children; Laurent II, Benoit and Roman.
As the brothers approached their late thirties they had accumulated a great deal of wealth despite their lowly roots and had acquired a great deal of land spanning across acres, with vineyards to the South to continue the lucrative business with the Dressolini nobility and to the East with shipping deals organised to take some of their wine to the city of Regalia. After observing the Ceardian collapse in 268 AC, Laurent Le Seur opted to send his two children off to gain military educations from which they both graduated from Lycee de la Rousette. In 270 AC Laurent Le Seur came into contact with a refugee family who had fled from Ceardia and were attempting to buy up temporary land, this family was later identified as the Coens. Laurent's vineyard was not far from where the Coen's chose to live in their short stay in Ithania and Laurent empathised with the family with a history of Ceardian migrants adopting the Le Seur name. Laurent offered Willard Coen the wealth of his local knowledge and relations in case they needed allies in the region; Willard offered his gratitude and friendship to the Le Seur family. This was briefly where the Le Seur and Coen paths crossed with Laurent II and Benoit in their early twenties meeting William Coen who was twelve at the time.
In the brief opportunities Laurent had to listen and observe the politics of the Coen family he became fascinated and despite his own military unfamiliarity and inexperience, he pledged the services of both his sons to the Coen cause on their return from their education knowing that noble allies were greatly sought after. As the Coen's travelled to New Ceardia and the children of Laurent returned from their military education this opportunity to gain relations with the Coen's was missed and the two brothers returned to an ill and dying father. Laurent gave his eldest son, Laurent II the entire wealth of the estate before his death but he soon divided this with his brother Benoit. Neither brother knew how to run the vineyards and wine business and sought counsel from their uncle who assisted them until his death in 273 AC. Laurent Le Seur II went off to Regalia following the death of his uncle to command as an officer following his military training and Benoit opted to remain in Ithania much to his delight and run the continuing and increasingly lucrative wine business their father and uncle had built.
A year after his military education, Benoit Le Seur travelled to New Ceardia and brought back with him no less than a child he fathered to a woman he did not marry. He named her Grace and when Laurent went off to Regalia, she stayed at the vineyard helping her father but she decided to leave in her late teenage years to New Ceardia on the recommendation of her father. Laurent Le Seur II fought as an officer in the Regalian army and married Edith, who bore his four children, the eldest Bastien Le Seur born in 276 AC. Laurent opted to send Edith and his two sons back to Ithania and his twin daughters were born two years later whilst he continued his role as officer in the Regalian army. Benoit used the wealth from the family business to send Bastien and Alphonse off to military academies and versed Charlotte and Darcie well in the business and culture of the family which now resembled that of the Valeurs with the impact of their business on local economies and their stake in various political circles. Alphonse soon dropped out of Lycee de la Rousette and opted to move to Regalia to learn the art of Dressolini fighting and a year later as both sons were way, Grace Le Seur returned home at the age of eighteen to announce she was betrothed to a New Ceardian noble. Coincidentally, the twenty year old man who briefly visited for the announcement was none other than William Coen, whose father had met the Le Seur's a generation before. Benoit spoke highly of William's father and greeted him like a son, giving his blessing to the two before they returned to New Ceardia to marry.
Bastien Le Seur enjoyed four good years at Lutherstadt and chose on his completion in 298 AC to move to Kilarallis with his new-found obsession in military strategy, philosophy and theory; observing the oligarchic wars and regional conflict between families, small scale wars that inspired many of his strategic writings. As his two sisters continued their work, developing relationships with noble families across the continent and Alphonse enjoyed the pleasures and indulgences of Regalia; Bastien worked for five years on his many works of strategy and philosophy, seeing many of them published and referenced by military academies on their completion, such a length of time working solely in the common-tongue Bastien lost his D'Ithanie accent. During this time a letter came from the Coen's telling of Benoit's daughter Grace's death in childbirth in 287AC, the letter enclosed a white rose from William and signed copy of a birth certificate for Rosalina Coen, Benoit's granddaughter. Only once did Benoit leave the vineyard after being entrusted with the business by his brother Laurent and he did so to attend his only daughter's funeral and meet his grand child. His heart was broken and he felt the Coen's would take better care of the child than he would and so he returned to the Palais de Vignes-Dore, never to leave again.
In 303 AC, Bastien returned to his family in Ithania and announced his desire to move to Regalia to join his brother and attempt to further his strategic and philosophical renown. Laurent had long overseen the military commitment, business orientated and intelligent mind of his eldest son and thus it was on the same day that Laurent passed down the patriarchy of the Le Seur family to Bastien and with it handed him a letter addressed to a Lord Coen in Regalia. Unaware to Bastien who had not been born at the time of their paths crossing, Laurent had remembered his interactions with William Coen when his father hosted the fleeing Coen family in Ithania. He had learnt of William gaining his Lordship in Regalia and hoped the letter would assist in establishing the new patriarch of the Le Seur family, his eldest son Bastien, as a potential vassalage for the Coen family.
Laurent stated he and Benoit would take care of the vineyards and business from Ithania much like their father and uncle before them and as final act as patriarch, ordered Bastien to travel to Regalia accompanied by much of his younger family in the Summer of 304AC. Bastien handed his sister Charlotte the matriarchy of the family in the winter months of 304AC.

Family Traditions
Marriage
All courting and marriages must be formally approved by the matriarch of the family but it is by convention that if the Le Seur in question states that their bond is for love, then the matriarch will give her blessing.
Archery
From working across large expanses of lands and keeping pests and animals away from the vineyards, bows have been a fundamental part of the Le Seur history. Every child, whether boy or girl, is taught by his or her father how to use a bow to a competent level before the age of 10.
Business Etiquette
Le Seur business is never discussed over dinner or around the table unless they sit in another's family's house and then they will observe and respect their etiquette. All business should be discussed formally and no agreements, sales or purchases will be made without the presence and approval of the patriarch.

Family and Biology
The Le Seur family have relatively distinctive facial features; they all boast high cheek bones and chiselled faces with the women usually born with sharply defined jawlines. Everyone in the family has aqua-blue eyes and light to medium toned brown hair but avoid blonde heads due to their migrant roots. It has often been a coincidence that one child in every generation of the Le Seur family is blessed with emerald green eyes, allegedly where the first of their name chose the family colours from. Their height varies but is in keeping with the average for male and female Ailors with none of them breaching 6ft 2in. By birth the more recent generations have been raised speaking a combination of D'Ithanie and Common-tongue.
