Earldoms of Gwynedd (fictional) - Sheele

Sheele

The Earldom of Sheele is located north of the old capital city of Valoret in central Gwynedd. The manor house that serves as the seat of the earldom originally belongs to Lord Rhys Thuryn and his wife, Lady Evaine MacRorie Thuryn, but Evaine abandons it after her husband's death in 917. Shortly thereafter, the manor becomes the seat of the new earldom of the same name, which is created by King Alroy Haldane and bestowed upon Baron Rhun von Horthy. The title passes to his granddaughter, Agnes, in 948, and she marries Sir Edward Calder, who later changes his legal surname to Calder of Sheele. Their descendants retain the title without interruption for over a century and a half. In 1130, the ninth Earl of Sheele is Earl Kenward.
