House of Derfel

The House of Derfel is the Royal House of the Kingdom of Pyrus and other territories of the Pyrusian Empire. It was founded by His Majesty King Molthrod, 1st King of Pyrus on 1st January 1553.
The House of Derfel is a Noble House of the Kingdom of Pyrus and formerly of the Duchy of Pyrus. It was founded in the Duchy of Pyrus by The Honourable Bolgrad Derfel, 2nd Baron of Falenlath on 2nd September 1539.
The current Head of the House of Derfel is His Imperial Highness Celasin, 2nd Emperor of the Pyrusian Empire, 10th King of Pyrus, Colonel in Chief of The Order of the Garter OG GCE BCE CV DSA EPTWC PC.
== Members and Descent ==
The House of Derfel currently has six members, three men and three women (including one by marriage). In its history the House of Derfel has had thirty-six members, fourteen men and twenty-two women (including thirteen by marriage).
The House of Derfel briefly split into two branches on 1st January 1773, when King Cunglas granted the title King of Greater Thanor to his brother, King Tewdric. However when King Tewdric ceded sovereignty of the Kingdom of Greater Thanor back to the Kingdom of Pyrus, having lost his second wife some years before without issue, on 28th December 1785, it may been seen as unsurprising that the branch became extinct a few months later with the death of King Tewdric.
