House of Winerose

The House of Winerose is one of Stormwind's old aristocratic families. They were ennobled somewhere during the fifth century of the Kingdom of Azeroth, when Charles Edward Winerose was created Earl of Rosewood, a settlement developed by his grandfather. The house was stripped of its land and title when Charles Anthony Winerose was convicted of high treason for collaborating with the Defias Brotherhood. Although the Earl was subsequently beheaded, his son and heir who was also a conspirator in his treason managed to flee the Kingdom, and was never seen again. The Earl's wife and daughter are known to have sought refuge with relatives.
