== Notes ==
* As Meghren was a first cousin to Emperor Florian he is likely either the son of Grand Duchess Leontine Valmont and a prince of the Orlesian royal family, or a nephew to Catrin of Hossberg and a half-Ander member of the Orlesian nobility, not Orlesian royalty himself.
* Meghren and his brother Ferdinand are never described as hailing from House Valmont, only directly connected with House Dufayel. They are never addressed with surnames or any Orlesian titles, and instead are simply addressed by their first names.Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, Chapter 3 They, however, are mentioned in a conversation between Duke Prosper, Lady Mantillon and Celene's mother and father, as witnessed by Briala, where it is suggested that young Celene could "hunt the golden lion" (i.e make a bid for the Orlesian throne) and that Ferdinand and his daughter will not be able to "catch anything", as Meghren has "ruined the family bow". The fact that they were mentioned in this way implies they are considered to be somewhere in the line of succession, and that their family disgrace would leave only Celene and her first cousin Gaspard as possible heirs to Emperor Florian. 
* The timeline featured in Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1, p.133 states that Maric Theirin defeated King Meghren and freed Ferelden from the Orlesian occupation in 9:00 Dragon. However, according to the epilogue of Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne, the duel happened three years after the battle of the River Dane, which took place in the last year of the Blessed Age - this would put the end of the Orlesian occupation in 9:02 Dragon.
== Trivia ==
* Meghren's difficulties in adapting to Ferelden culture were the subject of a light hearted folk song: "King Meghren's Mabari". In the course of the song, King Meghren is comically frustrated at every turn by rough Ferelden culture including an incident in which a Mabari eats his prized mask. While initially popular, the song lost popularity after the Orlesian occupation ended.Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, Chapter 1
