The House of Saluso Corrino,[1] also called House Corrino of Salusa Secundus,[2] was the original branch of the imperial House Corrino, founded by Sheuset I Costin I Corrino after the Battle of Corrin in 88 BG.
From 104 AG, the Saluso Corrino hold on the Golden Lion Throne was repeatedly challenged by the rival House of Alman Corrino. The last Saluso Corrino emperor was Sheuset II Costin II (r. 416–445 AG).
History[]
Origin and state-building[]
The House of Saluso Corrino was established in 88 BG by Sheuset I Costin I Corrino, the first Emperor of the Known Universe.[1] Sheuset was the leader of the Sardaukar, a formidable group of soldier-fanatics from the planet Salusa Secundus. After the victory of the Sardaukar and their supporters against the Landsraad at the Battle of Corrin (88 BG), the Treaty of Corrin established the Corrino Imperium, with Sheuset as its first emperor.[3] The Treaty of Corrin served as the highest law in the Imperium for the next 355 years, until the adoption of the Great Convention. Sheuset presided over the negotiations, his foresight for the needs of his heirs making the treaty as successful as it was.[4]
During the first years of Sheuset's reign, imperial power was consolidated through expansionist wars against those who opposed his accession.[3] Wars of expansion continued to be waged under Sheuset's son and successor, Henoor I Salusa I (r. 70–14 BG).[5] In the reign of Saudir I (r. 12 BG–70 AG), Sheuset's great-grandson,[1] the basic structure of the Imperium came into place. In 0 AG, the Golden Lion Throne, the Spacing Guild, and CHOAM came together to establish the form of society that would dominate humanity for the next ten millennia.[6]
Struggles for the throne[]
In 104 AG, Saudir's son Elrood I al-Aziz (r. 73–104)[1] was assassinated and replaced as emperor by Alman bin Haig,[5] his brother-in-law.[1] As Emperor Alman I, Alman established the House of Alman Corrino.[1] The rightful Saluso Corrino heir, Saudir II Negara I, fled into exile. Saudir II claimed the throne in 123 AG after Alman I had also been assassinated.[5] After Saudir II's reign (123–184), the Alman Corrino line reclaimed the throne under Alman II (r. 184–206). Alman's heirs continued to rule as emperors until 207, when the Saluso Corrino heir, Elrood II (r. 207–236),[1] was restored with the aid of Thomas Atreides.[5]
Following Elrood II's restoration, the Saluso Corrino line continued to rule as emperors until 345, when the throne was again seized by the House of Alman Corrino, under Alman IV (r. 345–362). The House of Saluso Corrino would be restored only one more time, with the accession of Sheuset II Costin II in 416.[1] Sheuset II was deposed and exiled in 445, when Saudir IV of the House of Rautha seized the throne with the support of the provincial Sardaukar.[7] When Saudir III died six years later,[7] the Golden Lion Throne returned to the House of Alman Corrino.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Salusa Secundus is the homeworld of House Corrino ("IMPERIUM, FEUDAL PATTERNS OF", The Dune Encyclopedia) and served as the capital of the Imperium until 1487 AG, when the capital was moved to Kaitain ("CALENDAR, STANDARD IMPERIAL", The Dune Encyclopedia).
- ↑ Elrood II can be identified as a first cousin of Elrood I since the list of emperors in The Dune Encyclopedia clearly differentiates cousins, second cousins, third cousins, etc.
- ↑ Rugo I can be identified as the child of a further child of Corrin I since he would otherwise have been identified in The Dune Encyclopedia's list of emperors as a son of Saudir I.
