Earl of Sutton Vale

Earl of Sutton Vale is a hereditary title in the Stormwind Peerage, dating back to 12 K.C. It is presently the Courtesy Title used by the heir-apparent of the Duke's of Newcastle. (styled Earl of Sutton) Its territorial designation comes from the ancient village of Sutton Vale, built by Baron Sutton in 7 K.C.
==History==
The title itself dates back to the early days of the Kingdom of Stormwind, when Henry Sutton I married into the house of Wrynn. Then Baron of Sutton Vale, Henry was raised to the rank of Earl, a title far more suitable for the consort of Lady Elizabeth Wrynn. Theirs was among the few true, loving marriages of the house's history, and the beginning of a long-standing relationship with the ruling family of Stormwind. All present Suttons of Newcastle are descended from the house of Wrynn through this marriage. The couple spent much of their lives at the spectacular Heartwood Hall estate, built for Elizabeth.
I the year 342 K.C. Edward Sutton I was created the first Duke of Newcastle, and granted much of Newcastle County, including Castle Rock, and the village of Willowbrook. Edward is known primarily for the beautiful Castle he built, which remains the seat of the Dukes of Newcastle to this day. Since 342 K.C.
==Coat of Arms==
The coat of arms differs from the Duke's own, in that it lacks the supporting Lions, and Ducal Coronet. If the Duke's eldest male heir has been inducted into the Brotherhood of the Horse, he may also feature a wreath or ribbon displaying the standard of the Brotherhood of the Horse, and the Crossed Lances. The Coat of arms may also feature any symbols, standards, or ornaments associated with the heir's military honors.
