The House of Anthord is the reigning royal house of Great Nortend. It is descended from the Anthords of [] of Albeinland, who gained the throne after Albert of the House of Destern died without issue in 1518. After the death of Mary in 1772, the Albish House of Oln ruled Great Nortend until the House of Anthord regained the throne upon the accession of Edmund VII in 1813, the son of Catherine I of Oln and Prince Henry de Anthord.

In 1974, Catherine II married Andrew de Anthord, 9th Duke of Faunslaughter and 20th Duke of Mere-Lucas, of the noble House of Anthord-Mere-Lucas, a cadet branch of the House of Anthord which held the dukedom of Mere-Lucas in Albeinland and Faunslaughter in Great Nortend. From the accession of the current sovereign, Alexander II, the reigning house has been formally known as the House of Anthord-Mere-Lucas, although in common parlance the house remains known as the House of Anthord.

The dukedom of Mere-Lucas remains vested in Alexander II as it is a grant of the Albish Crown; however, the dukedom of Faunslaughter, as an Erbonian dukedom, reverted to the Crown upon the death of the Prince Andrew. It was granted by Alexander II to the Prince Arthur, the second brother who had used the courtesy title of Master of Faunslaughter hitherto.
