Prince of Hearthglen

The Prince of Hearthglen was the customary title of the ruler of Hearthglen in the years following its annexation by the Kingdom of Lordaeron until their extinction late in the 6th Century. Originally an independent principality, the state was peacably annexed and the rulers allowed to maintain their dignity and their original title in exchange for their oaths of fealty.
==History==
===Dissolution Period===
Hearthglen was first settled late in the Dissolution period. The intensely religious nature of the early court of Lordaeron saw a number of nobles leave either of their own volition or in exile for varied moral failings. Many of these aristocrats went to Gilneas, Alterac, or Stromgarde, but a handful travelled West beyond the borders of the Kingdom to found a new state.
The first Prince of Hearthglen, Charles the Pagan, took his crown in 1241AD. He established a state focused on military strength and religious tolerance until his death in 1253AD, after which his successors consistently eroded the notion of religious tolerance in the Principality.

The House of Hearthglen were the rulers of the Principality from 2017AD to 2766AD (591KY), having taken the title by force in the War of the Prestwich Accord. They are remembered as the royal family that accepted the suzerainty of Lordaeron in 2331AD, and are now extinct save for a handful of cadet branches.
Not originally from Hearthglen, yadda yadda, not the original monarchs, yadda yadda. Took the name of the original House of Hearthglen for legitimacy.
==Modern Claimants==
===Tirion Fordring===
Though not a formal claimant, Tirion Fordring may be considered to be effectively the Prince of Hearthglen. Having been appointed to that region as governor of the principality following the Second War and now ruling it as an independent state, Fordring would have a viable claim if he chose to make one.
==OOC Notes and Disclaimers==
*WIP page, obviously.
*This is my way of explaining why Hearthglen was referred to as a principality in Blood and Honour. It also makes for an interesting perspective on how and why Hearthglen is the way it is today. It is, however, totally fanon aside from that mention.
*If anyone wants to actually go as a claimant, be my guest.
*Previous holders may or may not get proper entries at a later date. As it is, there's a broad story writ through the times of their reigns and their epiphets - and the changeover of houses.
