House de Villeneuve

House de Villeneuve is a house of minor nobility that has gained prominence in the first half of the century. The peerage was originally granted to the founder of the dynasty, Baron Perry Summers, to serve as a title under which to represent the Royal State of Darpartryo as it's Federal Representative. The current head of the house is His Excellency Adolph, the Marquis de Villeneuve.
== History ==
=== Rise to prominence ===
The founder of the House, Perry Summers, worked as a Chairman of Terminal Enterprises alongside his youth friend Duke Victor Bradley of Hastiga. His business ties with the nobility put him in a favourable light for a vacant position as Federal Representative of his home-state of Darpartryo. He was honoured by HM Vinther III with the position and a minor title of nobility within the peerage of the Kingdom of Darpar-Veldunium, the Barony of Karzarint.
With the death of the First Baron de Villeneuve, Perry de Villeneuve, the Barony was passed down to his eldest son: Adolph de Villeneuve. In contrast to his father, a staunch conservative, Adolph has been described as a moderately centre-left political figure, having been part of the Falleen Democratic Coalition Party since 550AER.
=== House de Villeneuve ===
Adolph's household staff made the announcement that the dynasty would adopt the surname of his Faraalian mother on the 26th of June 570AER. In what is seem by many as a controversial move, considering the Summers dynasty had become a household name in Darpartryo for the 4 decades, the Baron deemed it of utmost necessity for the family to distance itself from the late Perry J. Summers -- the 6th Baron Karzarint. A variety of scandals had been uncovered about the late Baron, which for the sake of his memory had not been disclosed to the public, but which were rumoured to be the main contributor for the dynastic rebranding. Baron Adolph announced that no longer shall his dynasty be known as the House of Summers, but shall adopt his Faraalian mother's surname: de Villeneuve. The very same year, to reward the House de Villeneuve with it's decades of service to the Empire, HIM Vinther III bestowed the head of the house with the the title of Marquis -- a senior rank of nobility.
