Ulrich von Eisenwald

Ulrich Bernd Siegfried Nikolaisohn von Eisenwald-am-Silberstrom (born 1693), briefly known as Ulrich II, is the last surviving member of the House of Eisenwald-am-Silberstrom. He is the pretender to the Nova English title Eorl of Írenweald-on-Seolforstream and the title of King of Ostland. He claims only the Nova English title.

Having gone missing around the time of the dispossession of his father Nikolaus VI, Ulrich assumed various pseudonyms and survived in the Green and Moorland in the years thereafter (circa 1717 and onwards) thanks to connections with local tribes and having access to financial means via Bassarid and Mercurian banks. In 1734, he arrived at Eisenwald Castle and surrendered himself to the authorities of the Order of the Holy Lakes, seeking asylum in Hurmu. At the same time, he disavowed all title, claim and right to the title King of Ostland and to Eisenwald Castle itself. He proved his identity through various documents brought with him, as well as through DNA testing, and other anthropological means. It was reported that upon his surrendering, he had said that he was tired of living in hiding, and that he wanted to secure an honourable life.

While in Hurmu, he met Markus Djupvik, a widower who lost his wife and eldest child in the Sinking of the Biternion, weeks after the sinking. The two began a slow-burn relationship. In 1737, they married civilly, and in 1742, they adopted two children, Niklas and Valdemar, born 1740 and 1741 respectively.
