The House of Fleurs (/ˈflɜːrs/ FLURS) is a wealthy Trihhimic noble banking family originally from Free City of Fleurs. The family rose to power with Giovanni II de'Fleurs (1313–1358), who was a banker for the kings of Horteny and Lorangia, and for the president of the Republic of Fleurs.
The Fleurs produced two queens of Horteny―Marietta de'Fleurs (1548–1568) and Roberta de'Fleurs (1579–1623)―one countess of Flayers―Ottavia de'Fleurs (1295–1326)―and three Archbishops of Figerbuun―Leonardo de'Fleurs, Archbishop of Figerbuun (1594–1627), Archbishop Eleonora (1683–1718), and Giovanni, Archbishop of Figerbuun (1718–1741).
The original wealth of the Fleurs was gained via the Trihhimic Road, which passed through Fleuric territory, and thus, was largely regulated and manipulated by the family. Like most other noble lineages in the east of the Trihhimerein Peninsula, the Fleurs patronized the arts, especially literary works.
The Bank of Fleurs, from when it was created in 1419 until the closing of the Trihhimic Reformation in 1751, was a well-respected institute in the Peninsula, and the Fleurs family grew to become one of the most influential and wealthy across the whole of the Trihhimic peoples. From this wealth, the Fleurs gained political power in the Republic of Fleurs.
History
Origin
The Fleurs family originated from the Free City of Fleurs, close to the northern border of the Republic of Fleurs, and were first mentioned in literary works in 1258, under works from the founder of the lineage, Lorenzo de'Fleurs. The name likely originates both from the City and Republic.
