'''House Harkonnen''' is a [[House Major]] in the [[Landsraad]], and ruled a [[Barons|barony]] based on the planet [[Giedi Prime]].
==House Harkonnen in the Dune Encyclopaedia==

According to the Dune Encyclopaedia, the Harkonnens claim descent from Count Palaigo Corrino, grandfather of Sheuset I, founder and first ruler of the empire;
according to their traditions, Sheuset's father, Count Costin, was a demibrother of Harkonnen Obeshev, the first Harkonnen mentioned in historical records; according to the source, this claim has not been proved, however, and instead it is also mentioned that Obeshev could have actually been the son of a trashman who seduced one of Costin's daughters or sisters. The Harkonnens further claim common ancestry with the Corrinos in the Palaiologoi, the last ruling house of the Byzantine Empire, via Constantine XI's younger brother, Thomas Palaiologos. Finally, through Harkonnen Obeshev's wife, Lisia Pozzo di Borgo, this family claims descent from Kiril' Romanov, cousin to Nikolai Q, Russia's last tsar, and heir to his empty throne.

The source of the Atreides-Harkonnen feud is, however, similar to the Legends of Dune series, whereby Abulurd Harkonnen disgraces himself and the human forces are saved by an Atreides, in this case Demetrios Atreides.
