The Noble Six is the name given to the six principal families who were responsible for the settlement of New Ingrea in 1836. These families contributed the most in money and personnel to the establishment of the New Ingrea Company, and were therefore rewarded with the largest share of land and titles once the kingdom was established.
Background
Except for the Crowther and Lamberton families, all of the Noble Six are descended from aristocratic families in Ingrea, some of whom date back to the Scandian Conquest.
The families
Today, the senior line of all the Noble Six remain extant, and hold titles in the peerage of New Ingrea.
- House of Courtenay
