C'est mon droit par dieu.
The flag of the duché: A golden fleur upon a field of blue. Such reflects both the previous and current owners, with the fleur being used in the de Courtnay family armourial achievement. The colours are so to reflect the current owner's own personal achievement, being gold and blue.
Lyon as a duché spans from the eastern coast to the central Imperial marches, a heavily wooded land of oak. It is quite possibly the only remaining province in the realm that truly remains in the old ways of Lavoyarde, both in culture and language, as demonstrated by it's ruling house of de Courtnay.

Military:

Climate:
The climate of Lyon is much alike that of the west of France, it typically experiences marginally cool summers and cool but not cold winters. There is no 'dry season' within the duché and rainy spells are rather unpredictable.
Culture:
The Culture of the Duché has two primary influences the first being that of House de Courtnay itself and the second being that of the Lavoyarde, which, akin to the Province d'Avignon, is still practised within the Duché.
