Ludwig von Innerwitz

Count Ludwig von Innerwitz (1900-1993) was a Braslander courtier and head of the Comital House of Innerwitz. He was the son of Count Gottfried von Innerwitz.

He is best known for his role as Grand Chamberlain, the highest Court office. He served in this capacity for seventeen years, between 1947 and 1964. A staunch traditionalist and monarchist, his strict views caused some problems during the reign of George III. He disliked President William Statham (of Solisbury) for breaking basic rules of protocol and made his contempt very clear to him. The King tolerated this behavior as the Count was extremely loyal towards his family, but in 1964, upon Queen Charlotte's persuasion, Ludwig was 'invited' to retire.

After leaving office he moved to his rural estates, which were managed by his brother and heir, Leopold. However, he returned to Markund in 1972 and was very well-received by the Queen Regent, who grew to become quite fond of him, as he remined her of the times when the King was alive. The Count, a very rich man, was a prominent social figure in the capital, and he frequently entertained at his home, although only the crème de la crème of Brasland's elite were allowed at his mansion. His relationship with the royal family remained close until the end.

He died in 1993. It was fortunate that he, an almost fanatical monarchist, did not live enough to see the proclamation of the republic a year later.
