Zeniths

The Zeniths were a minuscule and temporary extending family line of the House of Britannicus from 1631 A.F to 1633 A.F involved in the War of Summers' Solstice. The name is particularly infamous for having been bestowed upon a member of the Claudians: the faux-lord, Apollodorus D'lanastion.

Formation
The Zeniths were never truly an established line at all. The name was given to Apollodorus D'lanastion in 1631 A.F after he, the Duke of Byznia's Sever, fled from his post in Augustaminca to support the Redcross Coalition during the conflict. Siding with the forces contained in that offensive, he offered up troops who were of his jurisdiction without mentioning his actions to the Prince of his house at the time. Following a battle on May 16th in an attempt to capture the Citadel Daandon which was successful in the end, he was granted the title of 'Zenith' by his companions and associates-in-arms in order to honour his sacrifice and the supposed support of the Claudians, who were known to be the highest lineage in terms of power in the House of Britannicus.

Destruction
The Zenith line's life was a particularly short one, primarily due to the fact that even post-war, there were no others who could accept the title due to both its nature and the interests of the Trinity once it had re-taken power and established itself throughout Augustaminca. In December of 1633 A.F, Apollodorus was tried for treason alongside the Olybrians, the Servians, and the Justinians and sentenced to death by crucifixion.
