History of Urcea (1214-1402): Difference between revisions

The '''History of Urcea from 1214-1402''', sometimes also called the '''Saint's War Period''', consists of period of time from the rise of the House of Cónn in 1214 to the end of the [[Saint's War]] in 1402 with the rise of [[House de Weluta]]. This period saw the Kingdom descend into generations of dynastic civil war between the House of Cónn and House of Aleckán but also saw considerable legal and social reforms take place. The [[Great Landsmeet]], the descendant of the ancient tribal assembly of [[Great Levantia]] met for the last time as the [[Concilium Daoni]] rose to prominence. The instability and uncertainty of war lead to major demographic changes that weakened the system of feudal contracts and greatly disturbed the existing system of [[Social class in Urcea#Social%20class%20in%20the%20High%20Medieval%20Period|social class in Urcea]]. The end of the war was characterized by the rapid ascent of [[House de Weluta]], which has intermittently ruled [[Urcea]] since.

The ascension of Constantine to the Throne lead to the relatively non-noteworthy and peaceful rule of the House of Cónn for nearly forty years, primarily remembered for a series of construction programs to build and fortify trading routes and trail throughout the ever expanding Kingdom, including increased legal conformity of the [[Electorate of Canaery]] with the rest of the Kingdom, though full legal integration was not achieved for many centuries.

The reign of Constantine I saw the [[Concilium Daoni]] assume the same force of law as decisions of the [[Great Landsmeet]]. While this decision was aimed at increasing the flexibility of Royal administration, it had the effect of making the Landsmeet obsolete and decreasing the power of the nobility.
