Baron of Wälf

Throughout much of the history of the Trihhimerein Peninsula, the Baron of Wälf was the direct feudal holder of the Barony of Wälf. The barony arose as a grant of land to one of the younger sons of the Lord of Helterium, or otherwise inherited via the direct male line. First created in 532 by Lord Lodovicius VI for his younger son Wællius (who later became the next lord), the title was recreated by Lord Lodovicius VII in 633, following the end of the Interregnum. The title would be created and recreated nine times in total, until 1562, when King Karl of Ambreux bestowed the title upon his younger son Wilhelm, who would pass the title on to his male-line descendants, who became known as the Wälf branch of the Castors.

House of Clossus

The first Barony of Wälf was created for Wællius, second son of Lord Lodovicius VI and younger brother of the heir Otius. This appanage served as the basis for several future rival claimants. However, the line was immediately extinguished with the Interregnum.
