House Brynling

The House Brynling (, meaning "descendants of Brynn") or Brynnen (, meaning "of Brynn") - a minor noble house in Etrand.

Origins
The House of Brynling was founded when Brynn of Braht - originally a commoner - was given the County of Braht after the previous holder of the title was dispossed and disenfranchised for his actions against King Hereric I of Etrand. Initially a loyal and uninfluential family, the family had an unexplained rise to power during the 190's: they became disloyal to the king.

Under the leadership of Carolus Brynling, they took over the Grand County of Dracfold and began to openly defy the King. In 195, Carolus proclaimed himself antiking and laid claim to the crown, telling the whole world about his ambitions of becoming the King of Etrand. Carolus never managed to realize his goal, taking control over only North-Eastern Etrand. In 210, they took control of Copperport. That year was the peak of the Brynling family - after that, they fell into decline, and by 222, they have lost completely.

Having lost the long rebellion, the family would linger in their native territory for a century, until they gained estates in Southern Etrand. Eventually, they lost their original estates, and have completely migrated to Southern Etrand.
