| “ | What a bloody disgrace... How could a pack of idiots like House Dozel be of Crusader heritage? If it weren't for Lombard, the world wouldn't be in such a mess... | ” | — Lewyn |

Dozel (Japanese:ドズルDozel) is one of the six noble houses of the Kingdom ofGrannvale. The Dozel territory is situated near Grannvale's center, south-west of the capitalBelhalla and north ofChalphy. It was founded in the year 649, shortly after the fall of theLoptrian Empire, byNál of theTwelve Crusaders alongside Grannvale itself and its other duchies; its ruling family are his descendants and possesshis holy bloodline, permitting them to wield the holy axeHelswath. As with the other duchies, House Dozel commands an elite squadron of knights: theGrauritter, axe-wielding knights.
History
Ever since the rule of DukeLombard, House Dozel was plagued by a grudge against HouseChalphy, starting with Lombard's virulent loathing of Chalphy's DukeByron; as a result of this, Dozel under Lombard was part of the conspiracy led byFriege's DukeReptor to seize rule of Grannvale for themselves by eliminating PrinceKurth. Though Lombard succeeded in assasinating Kurth himself and framing Byron for the crime, his intentions backfired as he was killed by Byron's sonSigurd, leaving DukeArvis ofVelthomer the sole Grannvale power and forcing Lombard's heirs to comply with him upon becoming Emperor of Grannvale.
In the aftermath of the Grannvale war onIsaach, rule of Isaach was entrusted to House Dozel, with Lombard's sonDanann appointed its king. While Isaach was little more than a servant state to Grannvale, it was still among the least affected areas by the rise of Grannvale's tyranny, as Danann's younger sonsIuchar andIucharba refused to follow through on the more heinous activities of the larger empire such aschild hunts.[1] House Dozel's hold on Isaach was eliminated with the uprising ofSeliph of Chalphy inTirnanog and his defeat of Danann, and with one of Danann's younger sons on his side, Danann's eldest sonBrian – entrusted with the care of the Dozel territory itself – fell in the final confrontation between Seliph and the empire in Grannvale itself.
