The King's Dilemma

by That Italian Guy

Part 16: Reign of Queen Ilysia I, Dilemma 1

Reign of Queen Ilysia I, Dilemma 1
It is a moment of uncertainty in Ankist and the Thanes themselves have had difficulties coming to an agreement on the new Monarch, each faction trying to prove their candidate is the objectively best to lead the Kingdom in these uncharted waters. In the end, after a few failed quorums, the only person to pass muster is one who has previously served the Crown as Royal Marshal. Long live Queen Ilysia I!

The Kingdom of Mhuir posted:

Ankist shares a border with Mhuir to the northwest. The two kingdoms used to be almost comparable in size a few decades back, but Mhuir is now much smaller after they lost a war against Ankist in the year 143. Still, it is culturally and technologically more advanced.

The lands of Solad, Blodyn and Tyrill were once part of Mhuir. In the year 143, nobles of Tyrill rebelled against the Mhuirian Kingdom after the crown tried to force them to share and redistribute their riches with the rest of the Kingdom; Ankist was quick to support the rebels and after the bloody war of 143, Tyrill was annexed to Ankist and those nobles were granted the title of Marquis. The land ruled by the Dukes of Blodyn and the Dukes of Solad was also annexed at the end of the war, after Mhuir was defeated, as part of the peace accords.

For reference, it was around year 170 when King Harald V was crowned.
