Many of you have asked questions about the Luxembourgian Royal Family.
The present Luxembourgian Royal Family is descended from the House of
IRRADIAK, who were among the nobility of the ancient paleo-Letzisch
Empire.

INFORMATION ON PALEO-LETZISCH NOBILITY:

The Emperor was called the Kappi or Kappigh'. Beneath the Emperor
were the various kings who ruled dominions that were part of the
Empire. These paleo-Sakartveloi word for king was Xost. Following
are the terms for noblemen in the Izkappialgut Tuskualdo, and their
corresponding equivalents in "modern" (i.e, mediaeval) European
heraldry. After this, I have attempted to "fill in the gaps" in
Tuskualdan (PLE) society with some of the p.s. terms for various
occupations of common folk living in the Empire.
