Kingdom of Crotona: Difference between revisions

Line 50:

The [[History of Urcea (1798-1902)|Reform Period]] in [[Urcea]] lead to several attempts to curtail the power of the seventy-two in the Kingdom of Crotona. Many contemporary observers had noted that, by 1830, the island had largely returned to a state of pseudo-feudalism as the families divided most agrarian and mercantile economic activity among their own ranks. In 1834, King Niall V tried to remove the Gendel family from the Custóirship of the Valerian Estate but was forced to back down. [[King Aedanicus VIII]], upon his coronation, made reform in Crotona among one of his top priorities, instituting a new administrative system of absentee subrectors who could not be easily influenced by the seventy-two. Aedanicus compelled the [[Concilium Daoni]] to dissolve all existing Grants of Monopoly on the island in 1866, dramatically weakening the economic hold on the island held by the seventy-two and inviting wealthy external capitalists to enter the island's economy. With their political and economic position weakened, Aedanicus proclaimed in 1870 that the Gendel family was to be removed from the Custóirship of the Valerian Estate. The General Estates of the Kingdom of Crotona, in response, declared independence from [[Urcea]], though only portions of the Kingdom firmly associated with the seventy-two complied. A two year rebellion, known as the Valerian Rebellion, broke out, which necessitated an invasion of the Kingdom by the Urcean [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]].

===Military rule===

Following the defeat of the Valerian Rebellion, the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] was given military control over the Kingdom of Crotona and was directed to assist in the process of opening economic markets to external investors. Historians have marked at least a dozen atrocities committed against members of the former seventy-two in the process of economic reallocation. The process continued until the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], where the largely reconstructed Kingdom was reorganized into provinces.
