House of Lugaro

The House of Lugaro was once one of the major merchant clans of Torrune, and three of its members held the title of Archon, although now it is much-reduced in status and its masters are not even qualified for membership in the Merchants' Guild.
It was Thacco, master of the House of Lugaro, who orchestrated the conspiracy of mercantile households which wrested the archonal title away from the adolescent Gessen of the House of Thoab in 1133 CV (he had held the title for only a few months). Thacco moved decisively in the aftermath of the coup to seize the archonate for himself, and proceeded to hold it against all rivals for the next thirty-five years, which makes him the longest-reigning archon in Torrune's history. 
His two successors, however, did not rule for nearly so long. First was his elder son, Ubertin, who occupied the archonal seat for only three and a half years before dying suddenly while drinking with his hunting companions (rumors of poison circulated but were unproven; others said a stroke or a burst heart). After Ubertin came Thacco's younger son, Jerrard, who certainly was murdered when the House of Serekan overthrew the House of Lugaro in 1176 CV and seized the archonate from them, just as Thacco had done to the House of Thoab. 
Following this loss, the House of Lugaro fell on hard times, as most of its property was confiscated and it was targeted for special abuse by the new archon, Vostrig of the House of Serekan. It weathered these insults, but never recovered, and remains a minor family of little wealth or importance today.
