Pyrusian Prince

The title of Prince of Pyrus is granted by its sovereign — the reigning king or queen — who is the fount of all honours, and is conferred through the issuing of letters patent as an expression of the royal will. Individuals holding the title of prince will usually also be granted the style of Royal Highness. When a Pyrusian prince is married, his wife, if not already a princess in her own right, gains the privilege of sharing in her husband's princely title and the dignity of being known as a Pyrusian princess in his name. For example, if Prince Kranare were to marry, his wife would be known as Her Royal Highness The Princess Kranare, and would be entitled to refer to herself as a Princess of Pyrus.
A contrast can be made with the title of Crown Prince of Pyrus, which is reserved for the eldest, living son of the King of Pyrus, the heir apparent. Crown Prince being a higher title, dignity and honour than Prince, but all Crown Princes are also Princes of Pyrus.
== History ==
After His Majesty King Molthrod came to the throne, it became customary for the sons of the sovereign and grandsons of the sovereign in the male line to be titled 'Prince' and styled His Royal Highness (abbreviated HRH). Great-grandsons of the sovereign in the male line were styled in the same way as the children of dukes.
The first Prince of Pyrus was His Royal Highness The Crown Prince Bolgrad, the son, and heir apparent, of His Majesty King Molthrod, on 1st January 1553.
The most recent individual to become a Prince of Pyrus was His Royal Highness Prince Kranare, the grandson of His Majesty King Cunglas, on 12th September 1774.
There have been 12 Princes of Pyrus from the House of Derfel.
