The Duke of Troy
Jean's father died when Jean was only a young teenager. On his father's death he became the new Duke of Troy and third in line to the throne.

Upon his father's death. Jean's elder brother, Nicholas Henry became the the legal heir to their father's estate. Though the title of "Duke of Troy" and the estate associated with that title passed to him.

This enraged Jean and his other siblings, including his sister Louise, The Grand Duchess of Windenberg, who thought that Jean should inherit the whole estate and fortune. But The Prince Lambelle argued as the eldest legitimate son of the late Duke he was entitled to their father's personal effects, except for those which were entailed with the title which should be passed to his younger brother.

This left Jean and his other unmarried siblings with very little money after the Duke's death. The new Duke of Troy; Francoise Magdalena du Carthage; and Gaston du Carthage moved into a small manor home in the city, the only house entailed to the title.

The Prince Lambelle would support his younger siblings with a annual income until Jean was created "First Prince of the Blood" by Philip II of Corinth. Which meant that he was the highest ranking male outside of the Royal Family and took direct precedence after Philip, The Prince Royal and Louis, The Duke of Aragon.

The title of First Prince of the Blood also meant that Jean would recieve an annual allowance from the Crown Estate.
