Richeleu

House Richeleu is one of the most powerful families in Lacrive. The current head of the house, Jerome Richeleu, holds the Duchy of Argenin as well as the Barony of Mont-Sarmans. The former title makes the Richeleu family direct vassals of the King of Lacrive.
== Coat of Arms ==
The arms of House Richeleu are possibly the most complicated landed arms in the country: 'Quarterly, I Ermine, a bordure Gules, over all a Periconnic sash. II Azure, three otters Brunatre. III Or, a griffin rampant Argent. IV Vert, five mullets of the fifth'.
The first quarter of these arms represent the original Richeleu arms, from the 6th Century before division of the field came into fashion. The second quarter represents the chevalien family Yves-Thermout, who have served the Richeleus faithfully since before the Great Gap. The third represents House Sertois, who have long been married into House Richeleu, and the fourth quarter has one mullet for each house the Richeleu fiefdom has absorbed over the years: le Faucheur, Roualt, le Penven, le Menn and Lagadec.
