New Scania
The Dukedom of New Scania is a peerage title awarded by The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. (TRMN).
New Scania had been created as a title by 2007, by which time TRMN founder and First Lord of the Admiralty Martin Lessem was using it in his signature on Admiralty Orders.
In 2020 the Duke was made the Grand Duke of Lynx and uses both titles concurrently.
