The Duchy of Wesdam was created from old de jure Carnetori Kingdom lands by the Dameris king of Dameria after the secession of Dameria from Carneter, previously united under the Kingdom of Carneter-Dameria ruled by the House of Rubentis, of which the House of Dameris was a cadet branch of.
History[]
After the coronation of Canrec "Moonborn" Dameris as king of Dameria and the independence of Dameria from Carneter, in 898 the newly independent kingdom joined the War of One Rose against its old overlord leading to the end of the House of Rubentis and Dameria being the leading partner in the Damerian-Carnetori relationship. To tilt the balance further in favour of Dameria the duchy of Wesdam was created from the de-jure land of the Carnetori Kingdom and awarded to William the Westward, loyal follower and marshal of Canrec, who would found the House of Wesdam.
By the Formation of Anbennar in 1221, the duchy was turned into the Marquisate of Wesdam in order to defend Dameria and Anbennar's interests in the Western Dameshead.
Eventually the marquisate fell into the hands of the House of Silmuna with the marriage of Willamina of Wesdam and the Grand Duke of Dameria at the time, Aldres II Silmuna. Aldres' son would later become Emperor Marion II of Anbennar. Marion would then pass on the duchy to his son Laurens of Wesdam who would found the House of Silmuna-Wesdam.
