History
Gilessenmeyer is a middle duchy that managed to shoot up in rank due to the Civil War. It isn't currently known if they remained neutral like Ehrenfest, or were on the winning side.
The first wife of Trauerqual, Ralfrieda, is the mother to both Sigiswald and Anastasius was born and raised in Gilessenmeyer.[3]
Story
Part 5 Volume 7
Following the revelations rediscovered in Ehrenfest and Dunkelfelger's joint research into the connection between Religious Ceremonies, genuine prayers and the number of divine protections one can obtain, many Aubs adopt children from their extended family, who were believed to fall just a bit short of the standards necessary to become a proper archduke candidate. For the same reason Aub Gilessenmeyer adopted an 11 year old boy into his family.[4]
Trivia
- "Meyer" is very common in German-speaking areas as both a part of various last names or a last name in it's own right. There are also multiple spellings, all pronounced the same way, like Maier or Mayer for example.
