House of Kürzung

The House of Kürzung is a royal house of dukes of Karnia-Ruthenia. The family arose in the area of Minas Gerais in the late XIX century. Since 20 February 2013, the House of Kürzung, at that time know simply as Machado Family, established the Principality of Axvalley, ruling it as Governor Comissioner until 13 July 2017, when they assumed the surname of "Kürzung" and maintain the control over Axvalley as their dukes. After the Treaty of Kürzung, the "Kürzung-Machado Family" became a noble house within the Karno-Ruthenian Nobility.
