Great House
House Fane
Also called Fane · the Grey Mitres
A Great House close to ecclesial accommodation, cathedral patronage, church dues and the politics by which religion becomes administration — neither a clerical house nor a lay imitation of one.
A Great House working from Lambeth, where altar, church dues and council accommodation meet. A house named among House Halden's allies against metropolitan appetite.
Named with it

At the table
Nicholas is devout, mild in public and relentless about benefices, charitable trusts, burial authority and church-connected families. Named only in passing in the alignments of the four Great Houses; its rank is not stated in this part.
