| | House Corrino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Farad'n Corrino, grandson of Shaddam IV and last hope for a new Corrino Emperor, made a bid for the throne (spurred on by his mother Princess Wensicia). | | | Wensicia was the mother of Farad'n, the future companion of Ghanima Atreides, and Irulan became the wife (in name only) of Paul Atreides who ousted the Emperor to assume the mantle of power himself. | | | There were no more Corrino Emperors, or Atreides emperors for that matter. |

| | The present Padishah Emperor - His Imperial Majesty Shaddam IV - is the 81st in the Corrino line to be seated on the Golden Lion Throne and began his reign in 10,156. | | | The home of the Emperor of the Known Universe is both the political hub and the soul of the Empire. | | | His Imperial Highness has determined that the suitable response to the savage, violent, irrational and vengeful attack against Canidar Prime, is to strip House Teranos of its fiefdom on the planet Teranos. |

| | House Kunaitra was reknowned for its bold and brash military men, and the uncomprimising stances these men took in the Congress and harsher forms of debate on behalf of honor, etiquette and personal integrity. | | | The defeat was crushing and total, those that could flee did and the cries of the wounded was nothing to the wail of a thousand worlds as families and friends grieved the loss of loved ones. | | | Unheeded because it was believed they were no longer needed, for at this time, Sulaimani offered one of her noble daughters to the Emperor Akbar in marriage. |

| | Dune House Corrino by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson |
| | House Corrino's over-the-top dialogue, thin characterizations and swashbuckling adventure are more reminiscent of the old Flash Gordon serials than of Frank Herbert's mysteriously poetic novel. | | | There are certainly enough interweaving plots to keep the reader interested. | | | Instead, out of love for her Duke, Jessica has conceived a son - and she fears what the Sisterhood might do when they find out! |

| | The titling of these three books is, in a way, rather arbitrary, since all three royal houses (Corrino is the family name of the Emperor) share the stage equally in all volumes. | | | Despite the death of Duke Leto's first son, Victor, and much political treachery against them, the Atreides clan is finally able to mount a long-delayed attack on the planet Ix, to oust the usurping Tleilax and restore the rightful ruling house of Vernius, whose royal representatives have found refuge with the Atreides for two decades. | | | Of course, the main sequence from the point of view of the unborn Dune Messiah Paul Maud'dib involves the affairs of Duke Leto Atriedes (himself a young child in the first book) and the Lady Jessica, Paul's father and mother. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: House Corrino (Prelude to Dune S.): Books |
| | The prime focus of this book is the Emperor Shaddam Corrino, flexing his ambitious, if not greatly intellectual, muscle, in an attempt to become the sole ruler of the empire, without the limitations imposed by the noble houses, the Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the CHOAM regulation of the spice flow. | | | Readers who have not read the original should definitely read that first, else much of this book and its two predecessors will either not make sense or lose their emotional freighting due to absence of knowledge of what happens later to the main characters. | | | This is the third of the Dune: House books, which as a group make up a major 'prequel' to where the action starts in the original classic Dune. |

| | The Poritrin, citing their failure as a Major House to “shepherd” their Minor House ally in the matter of the Moritani Duke, urged the Moritani to accept an 8000 solari settlement, with the promise that failure to do so would mean the next dealings between Moritani and Poritrin would be met “on the battlefield.” | | | The Zensunni were followers of a schismatic sect that broke away from the teachings of Maometh (the so-called "Third Muhammed") about 1381 B.G. The Zensunni religion was noted chiefly for its emphasis on ilm (the mystical; theology; science of religious tradition) and fiqh (knowledge; religious law; a reversion to "the ways of the fathers"). | | | House Kuentsing military commanders claimed that the move was forced upon them when House Poritrin ceased all communications earlier last month after the Kuentsing refused to give in to what one Kuentsing commander described as “unreasonable demands” made by House Poritrin. |
