[quote=@Xilaw] Not quite what I had in mind, but okay. 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. [/quote] Great, thanks!
