Earl of Sutton

Earl of Sutton (Formerly the Earldom of Sutton Vale) is the Courtesy Title used by the eldest male heir of the Duke's of Newcastle. The Current Earl of Sutton is Varyc Sutton.

History
The title itself dates back to the early days of the Kingdom of Stormwind, when Lord Henry Sutton I married into the house of Wrynn. Then Baron of Sutton Vale, Henry was raised to the rank of Earl, a title far more suitable for the consort of Lady Elizabeth Wrynn, and thus the Earldom of Sutton Vale was created. Theirs was among the few true, loving marriages of the house's history, and the beginning of a long-standing relationship with the ruling family of Stormwind. All present Suttons of Newcastle are descended from the house of Wrynn through this marriage.

The Earldom of Sutton Vale stood until the year 342 K.C. when Edward Sutton I was created the first Duke of Newcastle, granted the entire province, and all its attended lands, including Castle Rock, Sutton Vale, and the village of Willowbrook. Since 342 K.C. the style Earl of Sutton is used as a courtesy by the Duke's eldest male heir.

Coat of Arms
The coat of arms differs from the Duke's own, in that it lacks the supporting Lions, and Ducal Coronet. If the Duke's eldest male heir has been inducted into the Brotherhood of the Horse, he may also feature a wreath or ribbon displaying the standard of the Brotherhood of the Horse, and the Crossed Lances. The Coat of arms may also feature any symbols, standards, or ornaments associated with the eldest male heir's military honors.
