1364: Prince Ruaridh Màrtainn of Mhartainnvail inherits the titles of Connsmonan, 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

1398: the Kingdom of the Fhainn proper is founded by Rih (King) Rethys Màrtainn, who immediately begins eating up smaller independent cities and minor noble holdings along with one or two serious wars against challengers to his claim of kingship, one of which he was by all rights assumed to be the loser against a coalition but won due to organizational and cavalry reforms, dumb luck in maneuvering, and catching enemy orders - 'perfect storm'

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

And to note, the previous culture across both major ethnicities was very much family-focused, organicist, and morally absolutist, which should heavily clash with a wave of actualism, mathematicism, and maybe even finitism (the idea of a non-omnipitent God) creating a philosophical rift between the gentry and the growing educated middle class

''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''
