Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

Connections

How House of Eric connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Family 3

What this means

A documented human family relationship. Not a succession mechanism, and not religious transmission.

Does not imply a religious affiliation held by the whole house · continuous rule
