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 Prince Andrew of the noble House of Mere-Lucas, a cadet branch of the House of Anthord which held the dukedom of Mere-Lucas. Henceforth, the dynasty was renamed the House of Anthord-Mere-Lucas, although in common parlance the house remains known as the House of Anthord.
