→Early Medieval Period (800-1200)
| Line 3: | Line 3: | ||
The Early period of Ardmore's medieval history consisted of a significant amount of infighting and a power struggle amongst dominant clans on the island as a feudal system emerged. Fighting lasted for decades, with the Kingdom of Ardmore beginning to take shape as duchies began to expand and intermarry, with wars becoming less frequent by the late 1100s. These duchies would eventually sit for the Council of Moear, where they anointed the Duke of Rosmore as the King of Ardmore. This period saw the consolidation of the remaining Ardmori duchies in the Duke's War, a series of conflicts that lasted 80-100 years (historical sources vary). After the consolidation of the Kingdom of Ardmore, the Rosmore Dynasty then conducted a campaign to conquer the Wissel Islands, a small series of islands to the Northeast of [[Ardmore Proper]]. By the end of 1600, Ardmore had emerged as a strong economic power owing to its flourishing ports and strong guilds, as well as the lack of open civil conflict in the last two centuries of the Kingdom's medieval history. | The Early period of Ardmore's medieval history consisted of a significant amount of infighting and a power struggle amongst dominant clans on the island as a feudal system emerged.
