====Independent Nobles==== | ====Independent Nobles==== | ||
The majority of the lesser nobility attaches itself to their betters and patrons in Parliament, hence their general nonattendence in chambers. Some few of these, however, choose to skew their own way, cultivating no patronage from their immediate lord, but possibly gaining the eye of another in need of a few more votes in his corner. Certain stronger nobles also stand independent, though most have been successfully courted by one of the Dukes. The Princes are formally at liberty to select their own political allegiance, although traditionally all but a few have been either Monarchist or independent, and so far the eldest have held to this unspoken rule. | The majority of the lesser nobility attaches itself to their betters and patrons in Parliament, hence their general nonattendence in chambers.
