The Roots of Lordsish

The Lordsish Family dates back to the 12th century, with the foundation of the first settlement in Mores by Duke Alaric. Since then, the family has been a constant force in the governance and preservation of the region's cultural traditions.

The Gouiwar and Ottomanic Dynasty

The strategic marriage between the Gouiwar and Ottomanic houses in the 17th century not only united vast territorial properties but also solidified the family's commitment to public service. This period was marked by great prosperity and the construction of many of the institutions the family patrons today.

The Modern Legacy

Today, the Lordsish Family is dedicated to honoring its past while focusing on contemporary issues such as sustainability and education. Lord Lawrence Ottomanic and Lady Marguerite Gouiwar lead the transition into a new chapter, ensuring the legacy of service and dedication continues for generations.
