- 'According to legend, Gabriella Maurienn, the founder of the Maurienn dynasty, was lover to Scarab, son of Godamba Thaess'en, progenitor of the Thyssenid dynasty. For this reason the Maurienns are considered kin to the royal dynasty, though no documents survive that confirm this blood tie with absolute certainty.
- During its stormy history the Maurienn dynasty did not make very frequent use of its family ties to the court, though there were times when it did closely cooperate with it. Thus for example Franz Maurienn, grandson of Gabriella, was advisor to Guido Thyssen and his wife Klaudia of the Starhembergs. The chronicles tell us that while Franz dabbled mainly in healing and elemental magic, he also conducted experiments in necromancy. Guido Thyssen, who was fond of Franz's pleasant company and sense of humor, turned a blind eye to this. His detractors claim Franz repaid his patron several times over - as a result of the magic teas Franz would send on behalf of Guido to King Gerard Troydenid, Guido was settled in the Eastern March and given the title of margrave.
