45 Men

The 45 Men (Burgoignesc: Le 45 Gends, Gothic: Die 45 Großmänner) was an assembly of respected citizens of Collinebourg who had the right to demand an audience before the Grand Duke of Yonderre. The assembly was first established in 1643 as a direct result of the Yonderian Peasants' War. The first assembly was characterized by large merchants and the Grand Duke's creditors. The assembly was replaced in 1833 by the Collinebourg popular representation to coincide with the opening of the Yonderian Parliament.
