King Godwin's commission, which continued following his death in 1630, issued the {{wp|Book of Common Prayer}} in 1534, and it would remain in use until the destruction of the Ænglish Church a decade later.

The threat posed to the unity of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] by a Protestant Kingdom in the north - along with other concerns within the political context of the Anarchy - lead to the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] [[List_of_Emperors_of_the_Levantines#Gram_Felix_Dynasty|Conchobar III]] declaring King Godwin III an outlaw in 1543 and invading the country, beginning the [[Nordmontaine War]]. Ænglish forces fought bitterly throughout the conflict but were ultimately undermined by domestic [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] rebels, with local nobility forming rebel armies with aligned with the Imperial Army during the war. Ænglish forces employed {{wp|scorched earth}} tactics that successfully delayed the conclusion of the war for more than a decade but also caused a mass humanitarian crisis as {{wp|famine}} soon covered the land. After 11 years of fighting, Holchester was sacked and King Godwin III was executed by the Emperor. The Kingdom was subsequently partitioned by the Emperor among five local Catholic nobles who would rule the former core populated area of the Kingdom. The [[Ænglasmarch#Duchy_of_Holchester|Duchy of Holchester]] was given to Aedanicus [[House de Weluta|de Weluta]], a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] royal whose family had been deposed from [[Urcea]], while the eastern portions of the Kingdom were incorporated within the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], inlcuding the [[Hollona and Diorisia|Duchy of Hollona]], which was given to the Elector of Diorisia. The total destruction of the Kingdom lead to a general uprising among the [[Protestant Union]], beginning the [[Great Confessional War]]. Anglei was totally depopulated as a result of the two wars, with famine and bloodshed in the Nordmontaine War followed by continued wartime devestation in the Great Confessional War. Following the [[Holy League]]'s victory in the conflict, the [[Dragonnades]] were heavily prosecuted in the country, creating a Catholic majority at a heavy price as many were forced to convert or deported. The deportations of large numbers of Ænglish people - both as part of the religious efforts as well as by politically motivated deportations in conquered lands - created a stock of potential colonists for Levantine nations such as [[ | The threat posed to the unity of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] by a Protestant Kingdom in the north - along with other concerns within the political context of the Anarchy - lead to the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] [[List_of_Emperors_of_the_Levantines#Gram_Felix_Dynasty|Conchobar III]] declaring King Godwin III an outlaw in 1543 and invading the country, beginning the [[Nordmontaine War]].
