The Chronicles of the Royalists (custom)

[Mike Louis]

The following history of the Royalists is taken from my custom scenario entitled Alternate History.
The Royalists run a crusader kingdom in the Holy Land, with Samaria as the capital province.



HOUSE OF TADER

Dana I (1483 - 1509)

Under her, the Royalist Kingdom extends from Turkey in the north, to Egypt in the southwest. Iraq is to the east of the Realm. Our kingdom consists of Samaria, Judea, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Sinai as national provinces. Our colonies are Cyprus and Konya.
Early in her reign, Dana I made an important alliance with France. As part of the alliance treaty, she married Philippe de Valois, a member of the French royal family.
By 1500, all of the Realm were devout Catholics.

Henry VII (1509 - 1547)

Under him, the provinces of Arabia, Rhodes, Crete, and Apulia were added to the Royalist Kingdom. His Queen Consort was Irene, the daughter of Theoleptus I of the Greece. Henry VII then fought Genoa, the Papacy, and Spain to a stalemate. During his reign, Samaria became Protestant, and remained so for a little over a decade. Henry VII's reign was remembered for both army and naval reforms that were made during his rule.

Maria I (1547 - 1558)

Under her, the provinces of Messila and Sicily were added to the Royalist Kingdom. Maria I remained single throughout her reign. Philip Montague became Prime Minister, and the Royalist National Bank was founded.

The Chronicles of the Royalists: Henry VII - Part 1

One month after Henry VII, son of Dana I was crowned King of the Royalists, the Iraqi - Persian War ended. All of Iraq, save for Arabia was annexed by Peresia. However, on the account of the Persians burning the trading post in Arabia to the ground, I was able to convince His Majesty to send some troops into Arabia to claim it for both the Realm and Christedom. In 1512, Cyprus was brought under our rule. Later in that same year, Matilda Tader, the Duchess of Selaria and His Majesty's youngest sister married Hermann V of Cologne. In 1513, Konya was add to our kingdom. Also in that year, King Henry married Irene, the daughter of Theoleptus, the Emperor of Greece. Between the years 1514 - 1522, Rhodes, Crete, and Apulia were colonized. In 1527, His Majesty made me a viscount of the Relam. However in 1528, Jerusalem, the capital of our Realm became Protestant, an island of heretics among our loyal subjects. I couldn't believe that Luther himself had the gall to preach his blasphemy in the holiest city in all of Christedom. Shortly after that, that accursed war with Genoa and the Papacy began. We had both Naples and Rome itself in our grasp, when Spain stabbed us in the back, attacking us in Apulia and Crete, cutting off our supply lines. May God have mercy on Carlos de Hapsburg, that mongrel King of Spain, for NOBODY crosses His Majesty, and gets away with it!

The Chronicles of the Royalists: Henry VII - Part 2

After that accursed war, we managed to rebuild our western provinces. The only major event during the rest of King Henry's reign was converting the Protestant heretics in Samaria to the true faith. In the year 1547, King Henry VII died in his sleep. His firstborn child, Maria then took the throne. Thus ends the history of the reign of Henry VII, King of the Royalists.

The Chronicles of the Royalists: Maria I

During the 11 years that Queen Maria reigned over the land, the Royalist Realm knew such peace that was never before seen, since the the of Dana I. Near the end of Her Majesty's reign, Philip Montague was appointed Prime Minister. In the year 1558, Queen Maria I died after being thrown off a horse. She didn't have any children, therefore her sister Dana, the Duchess of Zetar took the throne. Thus ends the history of the reign of Maria I, Queen of the Royalists.
