1364: Prince Ruaridh Màrtainn of Mhartainnvail inherits the titles of Connsmonann, Cheatharnaich, and Itheachan from an uncle and father killed in a hunting accident/skirmish/'highway robbery'; Initially a chance conglomeration of a few choice titles under a particularly lucky/skilled prince, who didn't particularly like the idea of having his territories not being contiguous; basically fumbled/scraped his way into a position where his only son could actually enforce a tentative claim to kingship

Crown War (1398-1401)

1471: last major challenger to the throne in southern regions kneels, a few weaker principalities in the north remain but get swallowed up through marriage or outright invasion by 1500

=== Instability and Princes' Wars ===

protestantism, electors not voting how royal family wanted

==== [[First Princes' War]] (1519-1545) ====

1519-1545: First Princes' War: a few kings (Caerls Màrtainn, Bronwyn Màrtainn, Rhys Wydd-Màrtainn) worth of fighting, and for their victory they end up with the authority to elect the King similar to the HLE's collegial electorate

except the vicars refuse and the second vicarial(?) war begins

==== Kurikilan Crusade (1544-1548) ====

==== Second Princes' War (1571-1583) ====

1571-1583: Second Prince's War:  this second one is very bloody and just an overall mess, whole dynastic noble local families are wiped out, at least one king (Conan Wydd-Màrtainn, Ruaridh Sutharlan, Banrih (Queen) Cailean Suthar-Màrtainn) of fhanrrenenoit4hlwtf is killed in battle; it ends in a brokered peace; the king's election will continue, but the vicars will also be elected by local nobles, and since so many local families died, the right to appoint new local nobility reverts to the King (Donan Sutharlan-Màrtainn), who begins to solely grant lifetime peerages, i.e., no hereditary succession for the local holdings. typically he will continue to appoint from one family, but they now remain local to the crown - while the king could appoint hereditary nobility, none do because that's a stupid move, and so the local nobles (appointed by the king) begin electing as vicar basically anyone the king wants to keep their power in the family - this allows titles to be sold by the crown, too

this system continues until the 1690s when the kings (Sean Suthar-Màrtainn) begin to realize hey, we can just buy off the still remaining hereditary local lords

==== Great Dunlann Peasants' Revolt (1587) ====

foundation of modern royal state, throneswatch founded, made absolute monarchy (see discord)

Okay, so... I have the Sutharine Succession Crisis in 1712-1717, which devolved into a war that maybe became the First Kin War

[[Saelish Partition]] (1745)

Faneria annexes Saelish rump state (Sorhaithe)

==== [[Third Kin War]] (1820-1823) ====

=== The Long Peace (?) ===

==== The First Constitution (1830) ====

-shift of Fhainnlannachaeran from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy in 1830, when Rih Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn chose to put a clause in the new constitution which would force the Throne to address the issue of allowing the suffrage of landed male voters for Vicarial seats in 1900. In the immediate term, the document allowed local officials to be elected, but Vicars remained an appointed rank rather than elected.

in the 1850s or so there should be a pretty large reform movement saying yes, the monarchy is great, but we should expand who can vote for the vicar besides local royal appointees - every property owning male, perhaps. which obviously every royalist says no to, but this idea of a "Liberal Vicariate" basically becomes a major political fixation and for a couple years it's "yes, but what if the vicariate also had power to do X", "yes, but what if they could also do Y, have oversight of Z, etc" - The main rub being nobody could agree on exactly how to work out what the vicars or a theoretical representative government (at the time still a fringe movement) would work in particular, as you'd have constitutional monarchists mixing with radicals and even a few revanchist wanting the old vicar's crown electorate back, but the liberal vicariate idea remains the "respectable" liberal opposition idea

==== Republicanism in Faneria ====

==== [[Fourth Kin War]] (1887-1888) ====

==== Teindun Riots (1888) ====

==== [[Boreal War]] (1999-1902) ====

the 1860s and 70s saw a dramatic rise in lower class and middle class movements

Constitutional Crisis of 1903: when writing constitution in 1829-1830, Rih (king) Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn agreed to put off the issue of extending the franchise to male landed voters for their local Vicars, because he was a liberal twit but not that liberal. In 1900, the issue was brought up at its due-by date and Rih Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn delayed and delayed because nobody else in the royal family ever wanted that, he was young and impressionable, and those rights would landslide into a massive loss of royal authority. He delays until trying to amend that part of the constitution out entirely in 1903, which launches massive protest before he concedes in late 1905. The Vicars demand their positions be secured by bloodline again to prevent retaliatory appointments (which were already occuring at that point), while other people are clamoring for industrial regulation, Constitutionalists are demanding all-male suffrage to elect Vicars, and Cananach's republican radicals are demanding the creation of a senate and the loss of the king's right to declare wars and levy taxes along with elected vicars. The Socialists want an abolished monarchy entirely. Ruaridh decides it's easier to just have the representatives the Vicariates sent to court hung for treason, and then orders the Socialist and Cananach + his inner circle rooted out and shot, because he's like 19 and his folks urge him to. He gets bombed, civil war commences.

== Fhainnin Civil War ==

==== 1903 Constitutional Crisis ====

1906, one of the reformist factions finally managed to blow up the king (Ruaridh Sutharlan) and a couple key throne supporters at once, which kicked off a civil war between socialist, monarchist, and republican factions, with the republicans and socialists allying and said socialists immediately getting shanked in the back

which is the breaking point for most radicals
