A Nestorian Persianate group fleeing Audonia arrived and conquered the area in question. Ruling as a dynastic caste over the mostly Celtic and Latin subjects, mostly Catholics or pagans, intermarriage stopped in the late 800s and increasingly mestization took hold as a Romance Persian language formed. In 1071, the Ashrafan ruling dynasty was overthrown by in part by their mestiszo vassals under the leadership of a bastard brother of the reigning Prince with Imperial support. In its place, the Pope crowned the new ruler King of Gassavelia, the latinized term for the country.(edited)
