The House of Welsbach (Hesurian: Haus Welsbach) is a Mascyllary royal house and dynasty and one of the oldest royal families in Berea, historically of counts, princes, dukes, grand dukes, Valimian and Rovinan kings and Valimian emperors.
The Welsbach family, tracing back to the 12th century and the city of Welsbach, was divided as two separate branches following Dilisme's War and the Peace of Westmarke in 1297, the Johnine and Nestorine branches. The house historically ruled large areas of central Mascylla in the modern states of Falia and Therunder-Welsbach, assuming control over Ausern by 1260, Karnitz by 1310 and Phalya in the late 14th century. The Johnine branch, considered to be the senior Welsbach line, was elevated to a ducal and later grand ducal title in 1613, while the Nestorine branch was further divided into the cadet branches of the grand ducal Houses of Amretz-Herzogau-Amsern and Welsbach-Gehrach in the 1650s. The marriage of George Augustus of Welsbach to Helen the Great of Valimia introduced the less prominent Johnine Welsbachers as the rulers of the Kingdom and later Empire of Valimia, ruling in personal union with the Grand Duchy of Welsbach since 1637.
Aiding Aldia in the War of the Five Kings and the unification of Mascylla, the Grand Duchy of Welsbach was elevated to the status of Kingdom while continuing its personal union to Valimia. The Norbertine branch continued to rule Phalya and Amretz as grand dukes and its agnates achieved the Rovinan title of King in the 19th century which it retained until today.
