Whenah (promounced = win-nauh) derives its name from ancient Lyonian legend. The Royal House of Whenah headed by the Robinson Family has ruled it for almost a century in exile, being passed down from father to son for generations. Charles III, born Charles Edward Robinson III was crowned as Duke upon the passing of his father, Charles II, in 1985, and has ruled there since. Whenah, though once a great and powerful Royal Tribe, has fallen in recent years but, has made a come back of sorts, through its acceptance of HRH Lothian I as the true Heir of Lyonesse and aiding in his coronation as Prince of Lyonesse in January 2012.
