House Manteau are a Breton noble family that rose to prominence in the First Era, when they were tailoring cloaks for King Joile of Daggerfall and his court.[1] Ever since then, members of House Manteau have served as the leaders in the tailoring town of Wind Keep in Stormhaven,[2] as both a Duchy and later as a County.[3]

During the Interregnum in 2E 582, the township of Wind Keep was considered part of the Daggerfall Covenant and was ruled by the widowed Ilise Manteau, Countess of Wind Keep. A radical group of Vaermina worshippers known as the Supernal Dreamers were spreading the Daedric Prince's influence throughout Stormhaven. As part of the cult's plot, Countess Ilise had come into contact with an enchanted mirror, which trapped her mind in a pocket realm of Quagmire.[4] The countess remained present in body, but suspicions were raised due to her odd behavior when many suitors descended upon Wind Keep seeking her hand in marriage. With the help of the Vestige, the countess was freed from the mirror, ending the Dreamers' plot.[5]

Lady Eloisse Manteau, Fifth Countess Manteau[2] was responsible for much of Breton fashion circa 2E 582.[UOL 1][6][7][8][9][10][11]
