I know that, but I mean my house should really be de/von Dobersburg instead of Fleurs, as that is the land I now have. Similarly to how you were Karl Schlutz, then Karl von Rastenburg because you inherited Rastenburg. Granted, even though you cahnged a bit, I would have de Paris or something, meaning that it actually existed.
Not quite what I had in mind, but okay.
In any case I would like to edit my house name, as I had just thought of it as a fairly random last name before reading this. Either that or changing the County names, whhich I would assume would not be a good thing. If you would accept this, I will go with the title Günther von Drosendorf, as I planned to have it so that I was a disinherited son of a noble, who was sent to Manburg to become a knight, who was then given a fief and became Herr von Drosendorf. Note that I am flipping the story from what I would have done with French homeland to Austria, this is mostly because I felt like it but I could maintain de Fleurs or something French if the general issue here was solved. then, as Herr of Drosendorf, which became even more powerful and became a good name, I helped in the formation of the Duchy. Now as far as the issue of retaining the birth name, being that I was a fairly removed part of a lower noble house, who sent me away anyhow, it makes less sense that I would retain that name..
I know that is probably pretty complicated, but I think it makes sense. Does it?
Not an issue what so ever. Günther von Drosendorf is not a problem, of course. I simply said if your family was already noble before getting fiefs in Manburg, it can keep it's French name regardless of gaining new territory in Germanic-speaking areas. As I said, I would prefer German family names since it is a German duchy, but I accept others, as well.
Von Hoffendolts are very pious people.
