Morvran Voorhis

"'Summer sun reflecting in the quiet waters of Alba - that's Nilfgaard to me.'""Morvran Voorhis (Gwent card)"

Morvran Voorhis – Emperor of Nilfgaard of House of Voorhis, successor of Emhyr var Emreis and member of Guild of Merchants. He ascended the throne in 1290 and died in 1301 (that means he ruled about 11 year). His succesor is Jan Calveit.

The conspirators - Joachim de Wett, Ardal aep Dahy, Count d'Arvy, Berengar Leuvaarden, the Count of Broinne and Stefan Skellen - planned to overthrow Emhyr and place young Morvran on the Imperial throne. Although they were were sentenced to death after Leuvaarden's betrayal, Voorhis took the throne at the end of 13th century.

As Emperor, he ordered the conviction of coadjutor of the Empire Peter Evertsen, a former imperial treasurer of the crown and chief chamberlain of the army, who died in Winneburg Castle in 1301.

The date of Morvran's death is not known. It is known that by 1328, the ruling Emperor was Jan Calveit, who rehabilitated Peter.
