Or, A STUDY INTO THE HIGH SENESCHALS OF HAENSEBY SIR VIKTOR KORTREVICHBaruch & Kortrevich Publishing --- The HIGH SENESCHALS (New Marian: STYUARD), or officially known as the HIGH SENESCHAL AND LORD STEWARD OF THE CROWN, is the ranking member who holds the authority over overseeing the administration of the Kingdom’s land, land record-keeping and infrastructure, second only to the Sovereign of Haense, and leads the realm as one of the Heads of Land and first aide to the Crown in all interior administration manners. Historically, the High Seneschal is entrusted in the governance of the Kingdom’s land, infrastructure and upholding the Kingdom’s census reports. The most likely candidate for designation has typically been from Haense’s most qualified steward based on reputation. In most cases, those born of nobility have held the seat although there have been cases where members of the gentry have also held the seat. Historically, since the establishment of the position, most seneschals are attributed with an extensive stewardy background prior to their ascension to Seneschalship. The reconstruction and growth of the Kingdom’s interior administration took place extensively from 266 E.S. to 285 E.S. under Lord Siegmund Corbish’s second tenure. There has been a trend since the first High Seneschal where the vast majority of High Justiciars have belonged to certain nobilital families, from Colborn, Ludovar, Barclay, Kortrevich to Amador. As of 361 E.S., three office holders have died in office (I, II and XIII), three officeholder has been removed after scandal (V, VII and XVIII) and fourteen under political obligations to the Crown (III, IV, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XIX and XX). The office holder is distinguished by the quill of Seneschal Siegmund Corbish, carried only by the High Seneschal, and traditionally holds symbolic value when there is a transferal of power from one Seneschal to another.. The reign of King Marus I saw the creation of the office of the High Seneschal which has since been occupied by seventeen different officeholders stretching across the reigns of sixteen Haeseni monarchs. Prior to such creation, the Sovereign of Haense upheld the Kingdom’s interior administration; although at times such command was entrusted to a senior Steward. Notable office holders include Ser Anton Kynsgeston (II), Edvard Barbanov (III), Emma Ludovar (VI), Siegmund Corbish (VII and X), Ser Roderick Kortrevich (XII) and Sir Edvard Amador (XV). Seal of the High Seneschal --- Synopsis of Haense’s Royal Cities The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska has established six Royal cities since the unification of the crowns of Hanseti and Ruska. Historically, the first city established by the dual monarchy can be traced back to the year 126 E.S. under the reign of King Petyr I.

Lord Steward) by King Marus I following the creation of the High Seneschal position in 1601. Colborn was regarded as a close confidant of King Marus I which resulted in his designation to such position. For the four years that Kassian was High Seneschal, he penned the Royal City of St. Karlsburg’s first ever infrastructure ledger and penned the first ever documentation of the Kingdom’s lands and holdings. Prior to the dismantlement of St. Karlsburg, he was instrumental in strengthening the Kingdom’s economy through uncommon measures. He is most notably recognized for his efforts in reducing the Kingdom’s national debt before the emergence into the Great Northern War. --- POSITION VACANT, 158 - 167 E.S. | 1605 - 1614 A.H. Marked by the government-in-exile due to the expulsion of the Haeseni following the defeat in the Great Northern War, no High Seneschal was officially appointed until the restoration of the House of Barbanov after the victory at the Second Battle of the Rothswood. --- II STYUARDSer Anton KyngestonSir Anthony Kyngeston 167 E.S. - 195 E.S. | 1614 A.H. - 1642 A.H.@Quackers Monarch(s): Stefan I, Otto I, Otto II Cities: Alban, Markev Ser Anton Kyngeston (Common: Sir Anthony Kyngeston), was appointed as the second High Seneschal(f. Lord Steward) by King Stefan I following the vacancy left by the government being set in-exile. Kyngeston served as High Seneschal following the Kingdom’s return from exile. He worked tirelessly in reforming a functional economy for the Haeseni populace as they lived in the encampment of Alban. After the elevation of King Stefan I to the throne, the Aulic Government at the time saw the necessity to organize the Kingdom’s infrastructure and land functionaries; which led to the reprisal of the High Seneschal position in 1614. Under the reigns of King Stefan I, King Otto I and King Otto II, Ser Anton Kynsgeston reinstalled systems that were set-in-place by the former administration of Seneschal Colborn and quickly led the Kingdom to bolstering heights of economic resurgence. --- POSITION VACANT, 195 - 216 E.S. | 1642 - 1663 A.H. Marked by King Otto II’s decision to dissolve the position of High Seneschal in 1642, no High Seneschal was officially appointed until the position was restored by King Karl II in 1663. --- III STYUARDPrinzen Edvard Barbanov, Margravir van Chanik Prince Edward Barbanov, Margrave of Chanik 216 E.S. - 234 E.S. | 1663 A.H. - 1681 A.H.@Xarkly Monarch(s): Karl II, Franz II, Sigmar I City: Markev Prinzen Edvard Barbanov (Common: Prince Edward Barbanov), was appointed as the third High Seneschal(f. Lord Steward) by King Karl II following the vacancy left by King Otto II’s decision to dissolve the then superfluous Aulic position. With the work set by former Seneschal Kyngeston, Seneschal Barbanov expanded with his own efforts by penning the Kingdom’s first public housing ledger. While administering within the Royal City of Markev, Seneschal Barbanov is attributed with increasing levels of migration to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Despite being a staunch centralist in the eyes of the public, efforts such as reducing tax costs were instrumental in boasting the Kingdom’s economy under the reigns of King Karl II, King Franz II and King Sigmar I. --- IV STYUARDSer Matyas ColbornSir Matthew Colborn 234 E.S. - 235 E.S. | 1681 A.H. - 1683 A.H.@JuliusAakerlund Monarch(s): Sigmar I City: Markev Ser Matyas Colborn (Common: Sir Matthew Colborn), was appointed as the fourth High Seneschal(f. Lord Steward) by King Sigmar I following the resignation of Seneschal Barbanov in 1681. Colborn served as the second member of the House of Colborn to occupy the Aulic position of High Seneschal. After monumental efforts made by former Seneschal Barbanov, Colborn simply maintained such efforts by keeping proper record keeping of the Royal City of Markev’s infrastructure ledger and proper documentation of the Kingdom’s allocated lands and holdings to several nobilital families at the time such as; Baruch, Kovachev, Ruthern and Vanir. --- V STYUARDBrog DhoonBrog Doon 236 E.S. | 1683 A.H.@Seuss Monarch(s): Robert I City: Markev Brog Dhoon (Common: Brog Doon), was appointed as the fifth High Seneschal by King Robert I following the resignation of Seneschal Colborn in 1682. Dhoon had previously served as the Royal City of Markev’s Grand Maer and it was believed that he was the most qualified for the position of High Seneschal until the Kingdom learned of his disappearance just a few short months following his appointment. The remaining year of 1683, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska did not have a High Seneschal until Princess Emma Ludovar was elevated to such position. --- VI STYUARDPrinzenas Emma Ludovar, Herzenas van UlgaardPrincess Amelia Ludovar, Duchess of Ulgaard 236 E.S. - 243 E.S. | 1683 A.H. - 1690 A.H.@MunaZaldrizoti Monarch(s): Robert I City: Markev Prinzenas Emma Ludovar (Common: Princess Amelia Ludovar), was appointed as the sixth High Seneschal by King Robert I following the removal of Seneschal Dhoon in 1683. Ludovar served as High Seneschal following the sudden disappearance of former Seneschal Brog Dhoon. Prior to her elevation to High Seneschal, Ludovar studied under her father, who oversaw the ‘domestic arrangements for the royal household, other residents of the palace, and the citizenry of the city;’. After the sudden death of King Sigmar I, her close confidant King Robert I was elevated to the throne which subsequently saw her elevation to the position of High Seneschal. Throughout the youthful years of King Robert’s reign, Seneschal Ludovar further expanded on the efforts made by Seneschals (III, IV) by notably translating the Kingdom’s documentation relating to infrastructure to include the linguistics of New Marian and High Imperial. Seneschal Ludovar was a significant Haeseni figure as the Kingdom’s most modern form of infrastructure management and consecutive documentation is inspired directly by her seven years in office. --- VII STYUARDSiegmund CorbishSigismund Corbish 243 E.S. - 254 E.S. | 1690 A.H. - 1701 A.H.@Nathan_Barnett36 Monarch(s): Robert I City: Markev Siegmund Corbish (Common: Sigismund Corbish), was appointed as the seventh High Seneschal by King Robert I following the resignation of Seneschal Ludovar in 1690. Corbish continued his long service to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska by serving as High Seneschal for part of King Robert’s long reign. Following the resignation of Seneschal Ludovar, Corbish was tasked with not only maintaining management of the Kingdom’s interior affairs but to discover new ways to better spend the Kingdom’s Royal Treasury funds. Through efforts aided by other Aulic Councillors, Corbish succeeded beyond unfavorable expectations and led the populace of the Royal City of Markev to greater heights of economic independence by emphasising efforts to spend into local mines and farms as opposed to outsourcing seen in previous administrations. --- VIII STYUARDPrinzenas Aleksandra Alimar, Haucprinzenas van MuldavPrincess Alexandra Alimar, Grand Princess of Muldav 254 E.S. - 264 E.S. | 1701 A.H. - 1711 A.H.@Axelu Monarch(s): Robert I, Marus II Cities: Markev, Reza Prinzenas Aleksandra Alimar (Common: Princess Alexandra Alimar), was appointed as the eighth High Seneschal by King Robert I following the removal of Seneschal Corbish in 1701. Alimar served as High Seneschal during the waning years of King Robert’s reign and the youthful years of King Marus II’s reign. Prior to her elevation to High Seneschal, Alimar was born as the Grand Princess of Muldav and distinguished herself as one of the dualfounders of the House of Alimar. Throughout the entirety of Seneschal Alimar’s tenure as High Seneschal, she worked in a very stringent manner oftentimes regarded as a vile woman (later dubbed; The Vile). After succeeding an unforeseen success of Seneschal Corbish, both King Robert I and King Marus II tasked her with the continued management of the Royal Cities of Markev and Reza’s interior affairs. Through measures now regarded as controversial she maintained the management of the Kingdom’s infrastructure for over a decade which resulted in the increased strength of the Kingdom’s economy from 1701 to 1711. --- IX STYUARDLorin SuffolkLoren Suffolk 264 E.S. - 266 E.S. | 1711 A.H. - 1713 A.H.@Silverstatik Monarch(s): Marus II City: Reza Lorin Suffolk (Common: Loren Suffolk), was appointed as the ninth High Seneschal by King Marus II following the resignation of Seneschal Alimar in 1711. After the resignation of Seneschal Alimar, a youthful Suffolk by the name of Lorin took the mantle for a short three years. Underneath his leadership, the Royal City of Reza’s infrastructure ledger was reworked to a version similar to the one found under Seneschal Ludovar (VI). Despite only being in the Aulic position for two short years, the Royal City of Reza continued to see prospering heights of economic growth as the former Atlas natives migrated to the continent of Arcas. --- X STYUARDSiegmund CorbishSigismund Corbish 266 E.S. - 285 E.S. | 1713 A.H. - 1732 A.H.@Nathan_Barnett36 Monarch(s): Marus II, Andrik III City: Reza Siegmund Corbish (Common: Sigismund Corbish), was appointed as the tenth High Seneschal by King Marus II following the resignation of Seneschal Suffolk in 1713. Corbish served as High Seneschal for a second time during both the War of the Two Emperors and the Troubles. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Corbish served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska as a loyal servant in the Kingdom’s Royal Army. Throughout the second tenure of Seneschal Corbish, the Kingdom entered into a period of war stretching from 1715 to 1732. Seneschal Corbish is most notably attributed with the successful allocation of the Kingdom’s funds in places of National Defense. Through his own directive (which was often questioned), he built a moat around the Royal city to aid in the defense of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. In addition to his efforts during war-time, Seneschal Corbish maintained his practice he held twenty-three years prior and successfully managed the city's interior affairs by; establishing the Royal Library, establishing the Old Crow and establishing the first-ever Affordable Public Housing sector. --- XI STYUARDRhygal BarclayRhegal Barclay 285 E.S. - 293 E.S. | 1732 A.H. - 1740 A.H.@chaosgamer_ Monarch(s): Andrik III Cities: Reza, New Reza Rhygal Barclay (Common: Rhegal Barclay), was appointed as the eleventh High Seneschal by King Andrik III following the resignation of Seneschal Corbish in 1732. Barclay served as High Seneschal for eight years under the reign of King Andrew III and the administration of the royal cities of Reza and New Reza. Underneath the leadership of Seneschal Barclay, the Kingdom saw the penning of the Royal City of New Reza’s infrastructure ledger. Despite the migration to a newly constructed capital city, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska struggled immensely during these times in obtaining a reliable income by way of property taxes. Through the efforts set by Seneschal Barclay, the Kingdom saw a slight elevation in overall migration to the city but, it was the strained relationship between the Holy Orenian Empire and the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska that was a causal effect for such struggles underneath the waning years of King Andrik III’s reign. --- XII STYUARDSer Roderick Kortrevich var DaineSir Rodrick Kortrevich née Daine 293 E.S. - 301 E.S. | 1740 A.H. - 1748 A.H.@Bisscy Monarch(s): Andrik III, Andrik IV City: New Reza Ser Roderick Kortrevich (Common: Sir Rodrick Kortrevich), was appointed as the twelfth High Seneschal by King Andrik III following the resignation of Seneschal Barclay in 1740. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Kortrevich served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska militarily as a Captain in the Royal Army and later as a Marian Knight of the Marian Retinue. Just following the resignation of Seneschal Barclay, Ser Roderick Kortrevich saw necessity to reintroduce Affordable Public Housing to the lower classes of Haeseni, through his efforts in both the Duma and petitions made in the upper Aulic Government; his success reigned true and the Royal City of New Reza saw increased levels of inhabitancy. In addition to such efforts, Seneschal Kortrevich also emphasized public spending towards the surrounding lands of Haeseni; seeing necessity to beautify the war-scarred landscape. Despite only serving for eight years as High Seneschal, Seneschal Kortrevich served under the reigns of both King Andrik III and King Andrik IV and further aided in the renewed growth of the Kingdom’s infrastructure both inside and out of the city walls. --- XIII STYUARDPetyr BiskPeter Bisk 301 E.S. - 305 E.S. | 1748 A.H. - 1752 A.H.@RaccoonPete Monarch(s): Andrik IV City: New Reza Petyr Bisk (Common: Peter Bisk), was appointed as the thirteenth High Seneschal by King Andrik IV following the resignation of Seneschal Kortrevich in 1748. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Bisk served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska loyally as an enlisted member of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. Leading into the start of his tenure, Petyr Bisk oftentimes lobbied for the introduction of reduced taxes through the Royal Duma of Haense. Just prior to Seneschal Kortrevich’s resignation, he recommended for Bisk to succeed him in hopes to see the Kingdom’s taxes be reduced far more than previous administrations (II, IV, VII, VIII). Through exhausted efforts made by Seneschal Bisk, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska’s taxes were reduced five-percent; which would ultimately lead future Amador Seneschals to greatly expand the city of New Reza. All throughout Bisk’s tenure, he maintained usual interior affairs by keeping proper record keeping of the Royal City of New Reza’s infrastructure ledger and proper documentation of the Kingdom’s allocated lands and holdings to several nobilital families at the time such as; Baruch, Barclay, Kortrevich and Vyronov. --- XIV STYUARDSir Rennard AmadorSir Reinnard Amador 305 E.S. - 311 E.S. | 1752 A.H. - 1758 A.H.@moosehunter123 Monarch(s): Andrik IV, Sigmund II City: New Reza Sir Rennard Amador (Common: Sir Reinnard Amador), was appointed as the fourteenth High Seneschal by King Andrik IV following the death of Seneschal Bisk in 1752. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Amador ‘distinguished himself as a steward of the city, and built up the Haeseni Fur Trading Company, which grew exponentially under Rennard’s management and contributed significantly to the goods produced and traded in the Kingdom.’ During the six year tenure of Seneschal Amador, the Kingdom of Haense’s royal city of New Reza was expanded to aid in construction of more infrastructure both residential and commercial. Despite only being in the Aulic position of High Seneschal for six years, Amador personally aided in the rampant increase in the Kingdom’s infrastructure construction and later income. --- XV STYUARDSir Edvard AmadorSir Edward Amador 311 E.S. - 329 E.S. | 1758 A.H. - 1776 A.H.@HogoBojo Monarch(s): Sigmund II, Josef I City: New Reza Sir Edvard Amador (Common: Sir Edward Amador), was appointed as the fifteenth High Seneschal by King Sigmund II following the resignation of Seneschal Amador in 1758. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Amador served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska as a steward with his brother, Rennard Amador. Just succeeding his brother’s resignation, the Aulic Government saw reason to befit Edvard Amador with the position to continue the successful efforts set-by the Amadors management of the Kingdom's interior affairs. Through efforts by expanding the city walls of New Reza, massive taxation relief, district zoning and the beautification of the cities surrounding walls (inspired by Seneschal Kortrevich), the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska’s interior affairs was managed far better than administrations of yore. Underneath the reigns of King Sigmund II and King Josef I, Seneschal Amador also reinstated former institutions the likes of the; Royal Library and Public Housing (both of which had been dormant since Seneschal Bisk’s tenure). --- XVI STYUARDMyo MackensenMio Mackensen 329 E.S. - 353 E.S. | 1776 A.H. - 1800 A.H.@Mio_ Monarch(s): Josef I Cities: New Reza, Karosgrad Myo Mackensen (Common: Mio Mackensen), was appointed as the sixteenth High Seneschal by King Josef I following the resignation of Seneschal Amador in 1776. Prior to his elevation to High Seneschal, Myo Mackensen served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska loyally as a Commandant of both the Brotherhood of St. Karl and the Royal Army of Haense. Throughout the long tenure of Seneschal Mackensen, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska saw increased construction of roads from the capital city to the vassals of Haense, massive taxation relief, emphasis on zoning districts and the introduction of methods to predict the purchases of infrastructure in the Royal cities of New Reza and Karosgrad. After monumental efforts made by former Seneschal Amador, Mackensen simply maintained such efforts by keeping proper record keeping of the Royal City of New Reza’s infrastructure ledger, the penning of the Royal City of Karosgrad’s infracture ledger a proper documentation and of the Kingdom’s allocated lands and holdings to several nobilital families at the time such as; Baruch, Barclay, Vanir and Ruthern. --- XVII STYUARDIyngrid Barclay vas AmadorIngrid Barclay née Amador 353 E.S. - 377 E.S. | 1800 A.H. - 1824 A.H.@MissToni Monarch(s): Josef I, Heinrik II City: Karosgrad Iyngrid Barclay (Common: Ingrid Barclay), was appointed as the seventeenth High Seneschal by King Josef I following the resignation of Seneschal Mackensen in 1800. Prior to her elevation as the second female High Seneschal, Iyngrid Barclay worked underneath the former High Seneschal as a steward for a number of years. Throughout the lengthy tenure of Seneschal Barclay, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska’s housing sector continued to prosper. Notably, the second female High Seneschal saw sufficient reason to completely revise the steward documents, which continues to prevent stewards from stealing money from the Crown. In addition to such revisions, she also saw reason to keep a better record of the stewards employed, including information such as; what year they were hired, what year they retired, etcetera. (All of which can be found at the Town Hall) Towards the later half of long tenure, she worked alongside people like, Grand Maer Franz Barbanov in further allowing guilds a proper district to work from alongwith setting criterias for these guilds to adhere to. Additionally to such efforts, Seneschal Barclay is also attributed with beginning the process of job interviews prior to hiring stewards; an idea that never came to fruition under previous administrations. All in all, as the first female High Seneschal of Haense, serving simultaneously as the longest female Seneschal and third-longest individual (XVII- 20yrs) to occupy the Aulic Office (II- 28yrs, XVI- 24yrs), Iyngrid Barclay continued to expand the Haeseni housing markets by allowing for the reduction of taxes and limiting the number of restrictions placed on homeowners within the city limits. --- XVIII STYUARDAleksandra LudovarAlexandra Ludovar 377 E.S. - 382 E.S. | 1824 A.H. - 1829 A.H.@AnonymousAlexa Monarch(s): Heinrik II City: Karosgrad Aleksandra Ludovar (Common: Alexandra Ludovar), was appointed as the eighteenth High Seneschal by King Heinrik II following the resignation of Seneschal Barclay in 1824. Prior to her elevation as the third female High Seneschal, Aleksandra Ludovar worked underneath the Office of the High Seneschal as a steward for a number of years, while also serving as a soldier of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. After succeeding the lengthy tenure of Iyngrid Barclay, Aleksandra Ludovar worked in concert with Royal Treasurer Erich Barclay during what is now referred to as the Great Recession of the 1820s. Unbeknownst to the greater public of Hanseti-Ruska and that of the Aulic Government, Aleksandra Ludovar failed to manage the Haeseni housing sector properly; which resulted in a vast number of properties left vacant due to the exceedingly high property taxes. While serving as High Seneschal for just five years, Aleksandra was often seen absent from her duties and responsibilities for the Aulic position she occupied. It is rumored that she was marked either tardy or completely absent from several Aulic Council meetings. Nearing the last year of her stint as High Seneschal, former Lord Palatine, Maric var Ruthern called upon the congregation of Duma in 1829 to file a vote of no-confidence against her. To no one’s surprise, a near unanimous vote called for her swift removal. Later that month, a decree from the Nikirala bearing the signature of King Heinrik II, would officially declare His Majesty’s decision to dismiss Seneschal Ludovar from the position of High Seneschal. --- XIX STYUARDFyonn CastawayFionn Castaway 382 E.S. - 393 E.S. | 1829 A.H. - 1840 A.H.@FionnTWG Monarch(s): Heinrik II, Sigmund II City: Karosgrad Biography in Progress. --- XX STYUARDSer Reinhardt BarclaySir Reinhard Barclay 393 E.S. - 413 E.S. | 1840 A.H. - 1860 A.H.@Capt_Chief26 Monarch(s): Sigmund II City: Karosgrad Biography in Progress. --- XXI STYUARDDracomir RorikovDracomir Rorikov 413 E.S. - Present | 1860 A.H. - Present@__DeusVult__ Monarch(s): Sigmund II City: Karosgrad Current Incumbent.

Totalitarianism_ 478 Share Posted February 17, 2021 An old Haenseman would read this study from the Seven Skies, remembering the days of Markev. A smile would come to his face as he remembers the downfall of Brog Dhoon, where the High Seneschal 'accidentally' dismantled the entirety of the Military District of Markev--Those were the days, indeed. @Seuss 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
