1955 - Present: Leopold IV (House of Hanover-Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) [6]

[1] After the death of their first child in 1817, Charlotte and Leopold, decided to wait until a little later before trying again which some historians say made the couple stronger, especially Charlotte, who became gravely ill after the
Charlotte became the first Queen of Great Britain since her first cousin, sixth removed, Anne. Charlotte and Leopold, chose to rule together as co-monarchs and to unite their two houses as not to loose the holdings of the Kingdom of Hanover in Europe, with Leopold travelling to Hanover for six months every year.
On May 11th 1833, the royal couple were blessed with a healthy baby boy, Leopold.
Through their reign, the couple dealt with political turmoil between the Tories and the Whigs in parliament.
They also supported Belgian independence and after unacceptable Dutch and French candidates were put forward, Charlotte and Leopold supported, his brother, Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was accepted as the new King of the Belgians.
Their joint 27 year reign ended after the death of Queen Charlotte at the age of 61. While her husband, Leopold, who was 67, handed over the throne and crown to their son Leopold II, Prince of Wales.
[2] Leopold II, son of Leopold I and Charlotte I ruled for 14 years as a kind and just King in a reign where nothing of note happened. He was succeeded by his 21 year old son George.
[3] George ascended to the throne at the age of 21. Immediately after his ascension, war broke out in Europe as France invaded Belgium. Britain and the Netherlands supported Belgium against France and Britain went to war with France. Prussia soon became involved by invading Alsace-Lorraine. In 1873, French troops managed to force their way into Brussels, and capture the city. The King of Belgium fled to Amsterdam, only to return to lead the Belgian army into battle against the French in 1874. Prussia withdrew from the war after the French conceded Alsace, but not Lorraine. The King of Belgium was killed fighting against the French in the Battle of Brussels. The Belgian-Dutch managed to drive the French out of Flanders, but they maintained control of Wallonia. In 1875, there was a succession crisis in Belgium and George V of Great Britain was named as King of Belgium. The Peace of Rotterdam was signed in 1875 ending the war, with France annexing Wallonia and rump Belgium becoming the Lord Protectorate of Flanders, with King George as Lord Protector. His reign also saw the independence of the Confederate States of America, the collapse of Spain and the Austrian Civil War. He married Charlotte Augusta of Saxe-Meiningen-Weimar and had ten children. The eldest son, Leopold inherited the throne upon his death in 1900.
[4] Leopold III, son of George V would rule for twenty five years as King. During his reign, war broke out between Prussia and France again and Leopold III attempted to mediate the conflict and was somewhat successful as the war came to an end within the year, however it broke out again six months later as the King of France insulted the King of Prussia during a diplomatic meeting. Leopold attempted to mediate again but was ignored by both Kings as they hurled insult after insult at each other. During this War of Prussia and France (1905-1921), both King would die and the war would be continued by thier sons and would only come to an end with the death of the sons in the final battle of the war in June 1921. Leopold III, having been under the regency of his eldest son George since his madness began to show in early 1919, would eventually die from a long illness in 1925. He would be succeeded by the Prince Regent, his eldest son George.
[5] George VI was a mildly popular king who gave India it's independence because of his daughter marrying an Indian nobleman. His greatest achievement was during the Spanish Civil War (1937-1939) for defeating the communists and giving Catalonia independence. He died peacefully in his sleep and was succeeded by his son Leopold IV
[6] Leopold IV, current King Great Britain and Hanover has ruled for the past 60 years as a king and just King. He has been a mediator for many conflicts over the years, most recently he managed to avert a Civil War in Syria in 2011 at the age of 89. Now aged 93, Leopold IV has been preparing his eldest son to inherit the throne as he knows his time is short.

*Anne Boleyn has a second daughter in 1535

Kings/Queens of England

1558-1595: Elizabeth I "The Great" [1] (House of Tudor)
1595-1616: Henry IX "The Short" [2] (House of Tudor-Dudley)

[1] Elizabeth Tudor came to the throne after the death of her elder sister, and generally was thought of as one of the greatest women to rule any country. She managed to deflect the Spanish Armada, refill the treasury and bring overall peace to the turmoil filled country.

However, one thing that plagued her rule was her younger sister Anne Tudor, who married the supposed love of Elizabeth's life Robert Dudley in 1564. The Lady Anne Tudor was said to be a strange beauty, tall and slender with the hair of Anne Boleyn and the Tudor eyes, with a pretty smile and swarthy skin that she took no effort to change with cosmetics. The sister then managed to get pregnant before becoming imprisoned, and gave birth to the Lord Henry and the Lady Mary Dudley in 1565. This sister then managed to escape and became pregnant once again, this time giving birth to the Lady Margaret Dudley in 1567. After the surprise death of Robert Dudley in 1570 due to a smallpox outbreak she escaped yet again, to Scotland this time, where she married the charming, if very young by comparison Lord Charles Stewart in 1572. She managed two children with him before her death in 1580, the Lord Robert Stewart and the Lady Janet Stewart. She died of a miscarriage at the age of 45.

[2] The Lord Henry Dudley never expected to become king. when he was made the Earl of Richmond in 1583 he thought he had risen to his highest potential and confidently married the Lady Dorothy Devereux, a girl of good name and good breeding, who provided him with seven children: John (b.1583), Elizabeth (b.1585), Robert (b.1586), Penelope (b.1588), Henry (b.1590), Anne (b.1593) and Richard (b.1594). At the dying of his aunt, however, Henry was brought to court and told that:

a) He would be King by the end of the year.

b) His name would change to Tudor-Dudley, so that the dynasty would not die.

He dutifully followed these instructions and the kingdom was full of rejoicing at his accession. He, however, was not a man of much ambition or natural height, thus was given the nickname 'The Short'. He, however, became a symbol of hope for the peasantry, who saw him as a farmer King. He died, leaving his kingdom to his son in 1616.

He had 3 sons and 2 daughters, in the order, named Henry, Robert, Richard, Anne and Mary.

generally was thought of as one of the greatest women to rule any country. She managed to deflect the Spanish Armada, refill the treasury and bring overall peace to the turmoil filled country.

However, one thing that plagued her rule was her younger sister Anne Tudor, who married the supposed love of Elizabeth's life Robert Dudley in 1564. The Lady Anne Tudor was said to be a strange beauty, tall and slender with the hair of Anne Boleyn and the Tudor eyes, with a pretty smile and swarthy skin that she took no effort to change with cosmetics. The sister then managed to get pregnant before becoming imprisoned, and gave birth to the Lord Henry and the Lady Mary Dudley in 1565. This sister then managed to escape and became pregnant once again, this time giving birth to the Lady Margaret Dudley in 1567. After the surprise death of Robert Dudley in 1570 due to a smallpox outbreak she escaped yet again, to Scotland this time, where she married the charming, if very young by comparison Lord Charles Stewart in 1572. She managed two children with him before her death in 1580, the Lord Robert Stewart and the Lady Janet Stewart. She died of a miscarriage at the age of 45.

[2] The Lord Henry Dudley never expected to become king. when he was made the Earl of Richmond in 1583 he thought he had risen to his highest potential and confidently married the Lady Dorothy Devereux, a girl of good name and good breeding, who provided him with seven children: John (b.1583), Elizabeth (b.1585), Robert (b.1586), Penelope (b.1588), Henry (b.1590), Anne (b.1593) and Richard (b.1594). At the dying of his aunt, however, Henry was brought to court and told that:

a) He would be King by the end of the year.

b) His name would change to Tudor-Dudley, so that the dynasty would not die.

He dutifully followed these instructions and the kingdom was full of rejoicing at his accession. He, however, was not a man of much ambition or natural height, thus was given the nickname 'The Short'. He, however, became a symbol of hope for the peasantry, who saw him as a farmer King.

As he died, troubles with Spain were restarting, with is hope being to take Caribbean colonies from the Spanish if possible. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters, in the order, named Henry, Robert, Richard, Anne and Mary.

[4] The eldest son of Robert I, Henry X was a brutal and cruel King who took great pleasure in personally torturing prisoners, even more so if they were Spanish.

In 1628, Robert married Mary Stuart, the youngest daughter of James VI, King of Scotland and his wife, Anne of Denmark, she died during childbirth of their fourth child, in 1633.
In 1636, Robert married for a second time, Cecilia Renata of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, of the House of Habsburg, and Maria Anna of Bavaria. She gave birth to three children, but again she sadly died the day after the birth of their fourth child, a still born boy, from a consequence of an infection in 1642.
Following her sudden death, Cecilia Renata was deeply mourned by both Robert and the Royal English court. She also left a good impression on the public, mostly for her piety and good will.
In 1640, after three years of seeing his brother, Henry X, bringing down the reputation their father had built, Robert mercifully, put an end to Henry's life, by having his meal poisoned, with himself became King Robert II.
His 44 year reign would see, devolution of political powers to parliament regarding taxes and appointed a young member of parliament from Huntingdon to design reform ideas.
He brought about revolutionary heath and hygiene rules, which along with the Fire of 1666, saw off the last of the "Black Plague" as well as destroying the squalor houses that they lived in, with Henry ordering for a better building plan for the area that was left.
In 1646, the twiced widowed Robert would marry again for a final time to Christina Vasa, daughter of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and older sister to King Gustav III. She would finish off his family by giving birth to seven more children.
After Roberts's death in 1684, Christina would out live her husband by only 9 days. Robert II was succeeded by his son, Robert III, from his marriage with Mary
[6] Robert III, born in 1633, was 51 years old when he inherited the throne. He was the fourth child of Robert II and Mary and eldest surviving child of that marriage. However, he soon proved himself a poor king as his madness began to show less than a year into his reign. As a result, his half-brother Edward, eldest of Robert II and his second wife Cecilia Renata manipulated his mad half-brother into naming him as regent and as his heir before his madness turned him into a dribbling mess. Robert III would rule, in name only until his death in 1697 as his half-brother Edward, wielded ultimate power in the kingdom and would be crowned as King after his death
[7] Born in 1638, Edward, although only half brother, to Robert, Robert was his favourite out of the half siblings, so it was easy for Edward to manipulate him and even easier to be appointed as Prince Regent, in 1686 at the age of 48, and by the age of 59, Edward was crowned King Edward VII.
Already popular among the English, after traveling throughout England performing ceremonial public duties, and represented Britain on visits abroad, him being the full king of England and his marriage to German Princess, Elisabeth Dorothea of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, were popular successes, his death of a heart attack, thirteen years later, at the age of 72, was a shock to the nation.
With his only child, Henry, Prince of Wales, taking the throne.
[8] Henry X, son of Edward VII was 41 when he ascended the throne as the King. He quickly proved himself to a good king due to his kind and generous nature, showing that he had none of the madness of his half-uncle Robert III. Henry X would rule for 39 years, dying at the grand old age of 80 to be succeeded by his grandson Edward, a boy of 17 years of age.

[9]Edward the Young was 17 when he took the throne and was King for 3 months before dying from sickness. As the only son of Henry X, the closest living heir were the grandchildren of Mad King Robert, descended from Robert's only daughter Elizabeth, who was passed for the throne in favor of her Uncle, and who married Christian Heinrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach. Her eldest son Christian I Henry Brandenburg took the throne after Edward's death.
[9] Christian I Henry was fluent in English, as well as German, so was more then ready to be King of an island he had heard of from his mother.
He died 18 years later leaving his throne to Edward IX, his youngest brother.

[10]The young Edward IX, 22 at the time, looked forward to having his own kingdom to rule.....unfortunately, it turned out to be rather tougher than he'd imagined. The first problem was the increasing mismanagement of Britain's colonies in North America, which he initially tried to ignore, and would eventually side with the Royal Governors.....which turned out to be a terribly bad idea, as all 12 of the Atlantic Colonies[OOC: what was Delaware IOTL became part of Maryland] would secede in 1775; by 1782, the Patriots, as the North American rebels were known, had won, and formed their government-only Canada, the Maritime Colonies(Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick) and their West Indian colonies remained loyal.

Edward IX would later be humiliated again in the early 19th century, after he and his allies lost the French Revolutionary Wars. On top of all this, he suffered numerous family tragedies, including the loss of his only son, Prince Henry during a mutiny in the Punjab in 1807. As he had no male heirs, his daughter Elizabeth's husband, Malcolm, the Duke of Hamilton, a man known for his kindness towards the less fortunate but somewhat new to statecraft, came to the throne. These days, Edward is viewed with a sympathetic eye by many Britons, because of his long string of personal setbacks.

[1] Elizabeth Tudor came to the throne after the death of her elder sister, and generally was thought of as one of the greatest women to rule any country. She managed to deflect the Spanish Armada, refill the treasury and bring overall peace to the turmoil filled country.

However, one thing that plagued her rule was her younger sister Anne Tudor, who married the supposed love of Elizabeth's life Robert Dudley in 1564. The Lady Anne Tudor was said to be a strange beauty, tall and slender with the hair of Anne Boleyn and the Tudor eyes, with a pretty smile and swarthy skin that she took no effort to change with cosmetics. The sister then managed to get pregnant before becoming imprisoned, and gave birth to the Lord Henry and the Lady Mary Dudley in 1565. This sister then managed to escape and became pregnant once again, this time giving birth to the Lady Margaret Dudley in 1567. After the surprise death of Robert Dudley in 1570 due to a smallpox outbreak she escaped yet again, to Scotland this time, where she married the charming, if very young by comparison Lord Charles Stewart in 1572. She managed two children with him before her death in 1580, the Lord Robert Stewart and the Lady Janet Stewart. She died of a miscarriage at the age of 45.

[2] The Lord Henry Dudley never expected to become king. when he was made the Earl of Richmond in 1583 he thought he had risen to his highest potential and confidently married the Lady Dorothy Devereux, a girl of good name and good breeding, who provided him with seven children: John (b.1583), Elizabeth (b.1585), Robert (b.1586), Penelope (b.1588), Henry (b.1590), Anne (b.1593) and Richard (b.1594). At the dying of his aunt, however, Henry was brought to court and told that:

a) He would be King by the end of the year.

b) His name would change to Tudor-Dudley, so that the dynasty would not die.

He dutifully followed these instructions and the kingdom was full of rejoicing at his accession. He, however, was not a man of much ambition or natural height, thus was given the nickname 'The Short'. He, however, became a symbol of hope for the peasantry, who saw him as a farmer King. He died, leaving his kingdom to his son in 1616.

[3] The second son of Henry IX, taking the throne due to his brothers death in 1614. Unlike his father, Robert was ambitious and sought to expand the power of England. First he set out to finish the conquest of Ireland, which had lost ground under his father. He increased the military and navy during this time. His reign saw the beginnings of larger concentration of New World colonies, particularly with Irish being sent to said colonies. In 1633, England took control of the Dutch colony of New Netherland and renamed it New Leicester in honor of the King's Dudley origins in Liecester. As he died, troubles with Spain were restarting, with is hope being to take Caribbean colonies from the Spanish if possible. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters, in the order, named Henry, Robert, Richard, Anne and Mary.

[4] The eldest son of Robert I, Henry X was a brutal and cruel King who took great pleasure in personally torturing prisoners, even more so if they were Spanish. His atrocities grew over three years until his younger brother Robert could take no more and forcibly deposed and murdered his brother before crowning himself as King.

Malcolm I pushed for expanded rule in India. He reorganized the Navy and the Army during his reign. He died of old age in 1836 and is highly regarded as a 'king who knew his limits'.

The War of 1853 saw a decisive win against the Confederation of American Provinces, after New England seceded and England supported. At the end of the war, the provinces of Plymouth, New Hampshire, Maine, Saybrook and Providence rejoined England. Since, England has known peace aside from skirmishes with native Indian states as England continues to dominate the Southern half of India, or African states as England makes itself known there. Towards the end of his reign, colonization efforts start on Western Zeelandia (OTL Australia) as the Dutch colonize the East, along with control of Hainan. England is as strong as ever.

[5] Born in 1612, Robert had a shocking resemblance to his great-great grandfather.
In 1628, Robert married Mary Stuart, the youngest daughter of James VI, King of Scotland and his wife, Anne of Denmark, she died during childbirth of their fourth child, in 1633.
In 1636, Robert married for a second time, Cecilia Renata of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, of the House of Habsburg, and Maria Anna of Bavaria. She gave birth to three children, but again she sadly died the day after the birth of their fourth child, a still born boy, from a consequence of an infection in 1642.
Following her sudden death, Cecilia Renata was deeply mourned by both Robert and the Royal English court. She also left a good impression on the public, mostly for her piety and good will.
In 1640, after three years of seeing his brother, Henry X, bringing down the reputation their father had built, Robert mercifully, put an end to Henry's life, by having his meal poisoned, with himself became King Robert II.
His 44 year reign would see, devolution of political powers to parliament regarding taxes and appointed a young member of parliament from Huntingdon to design reform ideas.
He brought about revolutionary heath and hygiene rules, which along with the Fire of 1666, saw off the last of the "Black Plague" as well as destroying the squalor houses that they lived in, with Henry ordering for a better building plan for the area that was left.
In 1646, the twiced widowed Robert would marry again for a final time to Christina Vasa, daughter of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and older sister to King Gustav III. She would finish off his family by giving birth to seven more children.
After Roberts's death in 1684, Christina would out live her husband by only 9 days. Robert II was succeeded by his son, Robert III, from his marriage with Mary

[6] Robert III, born in 1633, was 51 years old when he inherited the throne. He was the fourth child of Robert II and Mary and eldest surviving child of that marriage. However, he soon proved himself a poor king as his madness began to show less than a year into his reign. As a result, his half-brother Edward, eldest of Robert II and his second wife Cecilia Renata manipulated his mad half-brother into naming him as regent and as his heir before his madness turned him into a dribbling mess. Robert III would rule, in name only until his death in 1697 as his half-brother Edward, wielded ultimate power in the kingdom and would be crowned as King after his death

[7] Born in 1638, Edward, although only half brother, to Robert, Robert was his favourite out of the half siblings, so it was easy for Edward to manipulate him and even easier to be appointed as Prince Regent, in 1686 at the age of 48, and by the age of 59, Edward was crowned King Edward VII.
Already popular among the English, after traveling throughout England performing ceremonial public duties, and represented Britain on visits abroad, him being the full king of England and his marriage to German Princess, Elisabeth Dorothea of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, were popular successes, his death of a heart attack, thirteen years later, at the age of 72, was a shock to the nation.
With his only child, Henry, Prince of Wales, taking the throne.

[8] Henry X, son of Edward VII was 41 when he ascended the throne as the King. He quickly proved himself to a good king due to his kind and generous nature, showing that he had none of the madness of his half-uncle Robert III. Henry X would rule for 39 years, dying at the grand old age of 80 to be succeeded by his grandson Edward, a boy of 17 years of age.

[9]Edward the Young was 17 when he took the throne and was King for 3 months before dying from sickness. As the only son of Henry X, the closest living heir were the grandchildren of Mad King Robert, descended from Robert's only daughter Elizabeth, who was passed for the throne in favor of her Uncle, and who married Christian Heinrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach. Her eldest son Christian I Henry Brandenburg took the throne after Edward's death.

[10] Christian I Henry was fluent in English, as well as German, so was more then ready to be King of an island he had heard of from his mother.
He died 18 years later leaving his throne to Edward IX, his youngest brother.

[11]The young Edward IX, 22 at the time, looked forward to having his own kingdom to rule.....unfortunately, it turned out to be rather tougher than he'd imagined. The first problem was the increasing mismanagement of Britain's colonies in North America, which he initially tried to ignore, and would eventually side with the Royal Governors.....which turned out to be a terribly bad idea, as all 12 of the Atlantic Colonies[OOC: what was Delaware IOTL became part of Maryland] would secede in 1775; by 1782, the Patriots, as the North American rebels were known, had won, and formed their government-only Canada, the Maritime Colonies(Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick) and their West Indian colonies remained loyal.

Edward IX would later be humiliated again in the early 19th century, after he and his allies lost the French Revolutionary Wars. On top of all this, he suffered numerous family tragedies, including the loss of his only son, Prince Henry during a mutiny in the Punjab in 1807. As he had no male heirs, his daughter Elizabeth's husband, Malcolm, the Duke of Hamilton, a man known for his kindness towards the less fortunate but somewhat new to statecraft, came to the throne. These days, Edward is viewed with a sympathetic eye by many Britons, because of his long string of personal setbacks.

[12] Malcolm I was a very humble monarch. He was and is regarded as the first king that dissuade the use of epitaphs used to describe his reign. Malcolm appointed his son Charles as his heir on his first act as the monarch and made the House of Hamilton as the formal 'ruling family'. Malcolm I pushed for expanded rule in India. He reorganized the Navy and the Army during his reign. He died of old age in 1836 and is highly regarded as a 'king who knew his limits'.

[13] Charles I's reign lasted over fifty years, in which time he oversaw the taking over of Cuba and Puerto Rico from Spain in the Spanish-English War (1840-1845). The War of 1853 saw a decisive win against the Confederation of American Provinces, after New England seceded and England supported. At the end of the war, the provinces of Plymouth, New Hampshire, Maine, Saybrook and Providence rejoined England. Since, England has known peace aside from skirmishes with native Indian states as England continues to dominate the Southern half of India, or African states as England makes itself known there. Towards the end of his reign, colonization efforts start on Western Zeelandia (OTL Australia) as the Dutch colonize the East, along with control of Hainan. England is as strong as ever.

[14] George I, came to the throne at the young age of 17. He was the great-grandson of Charles I and continued his father's work on colonizing Western Zeelandia. He oversaw three wars with Spain during his long reign and two with France. Three Indian Rebellions also broke out during his reign and he was able to put down all three. After the Third English-French War of his reign ended in 1939, England lived in peace for the next 21 years until the death of George in 1960. He had ruled for 71 years and was known George Grey Beard due to his hair having gone grey in his thirties. He was 88 when he died and was succeeded by his great grandson _____

[1] Elizabeth Tudor came to the throne after the death of her elder sister, and generally was thought of as one of the greatest women to rule any country. She managed to deflect the Spanish Armada, refill the treasury and bring overall peace to the turmoil filled country.

However, one thing that plagued her rule was her younger sister Anne Tudor, who married the supposed love of Elizabeth's life Robert Dudley in 1564. The Lady Anne Tudor was said to be a strange beauty, tall and slender with the hair of Anne Boleyn and the Tudor eyes, with a pretty smile and swarthy skin that she took no effort to change with cosmetics. The sister then managed to get pregnant before becoming imprisoned, and gave birth to the Lord Henry and the Lady Mary Dudley in 1565. This sister then managed to escape and became pregnant once again, this time giving birth to the Lady Margaret Dudley in 1567. After the surprise death of Robert Dudley in 1570 due to a smallpox outbreak she escaped yet again, to Scotland this time, where she married the charming, if very young by comparison Lord Charles Stewart in 1572. She managed two children with him before her death in 1580, the Lord Robert Stewart and the Lady Janet Stewart. She died of a miscarriage at the age of 45.

[2] The Lord Henry Dudley never expected to become king. when he was made the Earl of Richmond in 1583 he thought he had risen to his highest potential and confidently married the Lady Dorothy Devereux, a girl of good name and good breeding, who provided him with seven children: John (b.1583), Elizabeth (b.1585), Robert (b.1586), Penelope (b.1588), Henry (b.1590), Anne (b.1593) and Richard (b.1594). At the dying of his aunt, however, Henry was brought to court and told that:

a) He would be King by the end of the year.

b) His name would change to Tudor-Dudley, so that the dynasty would not die.

He dutifully followed these instructions and the kingdom was full of rejoicing at his accession. He, however, was not a man of much ambition or natural height, thus was given the nickname 'The Short'. He, however, became a symbol of hope for the peasantry, who saw him as a farmer King. He died, leaving his kingdom to his son in 1616.

[3] The second son of Henry IX, taking the throne due to his brothers death in 1614. Unlike his father, Robert was ambitious and sought to expand the power of England. First he set out to finish the conquest of Ireland, which had lost ground under his father. He increased the military and navy during this time. His reign saw the beginnings of larger concentration of New World colonies, particularly with Irish being sent to said colonies. In 1633, England took control of the Dutch colony of New Netherland and renamed it New Leicester in honor of the King's Dudley origins in Liecester. As he died, troubles with Spain were restarting, with is hope being to take Caribbean colonies from the Spanish if possible. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters, in the order, named Henry, Robert, Richard, Anne and Mary.

[4] The eldest son of Robert I, Henry X was a brutal and cruel King who took great pleasure in personally torturing prisoners, even more so if they were Spanish. His atrocities grew over three years until his younger brother Robert could take no more and forcibly deposed and murdered his brother before crowning himself as King.

996-1020 Raud the Strong [1] House of Raud would have not become King of Norway had not the previous King, Olaf Tryggvason tried to enforce Christianity in fine Viking style, by

“looting and burning Pagan temples and compelling community after community to be baptized or die, taking hostages to enforce continued Christian observance.”

When Olaf tried to enforce the new faith in in Raud's lands, Raud fled, using the new techniques involving sailing against the wind to escape and then outmanuevering the King at sea with his legendary boat, the Serpent, and isolated killed Olaf's ship and killed the King.

This sudden death of an unpopular King who used force to enforce an alien faith upon the people of Norway led to a counterrevolution with Raud being proclaimed King by popular decree. His turning back the an invasion by the previous King (who had been deposed by Olaf) Sweyn Forkbeard is still celebrated as Norway's national day.

While knowing percecution himself and a Godi himself who worked hard to uphold Norse Paganism, he left lay Christians alone, only banishing the priests and preventing their return, something that delayed the conversion not only of Norway, but Sweden, Iceland, Vinland by several centuries. When he died in bed but with a sword in hand, He was succeeded by his son ________.

Raud the Strong

 

[KingofArkham]

Kings of Norway


996-1020: Raud the Strong [1] House of Raud
1020-1049: Magnus the Magnificent [2] House of Raud



[1] Raud the Strong would have not become King of Norway had not the previous King, Olaf Tryggvason tried to enforce Christianity in fine Viking style, by

“looting and burning Pagan temples and compelling community after community to be baptized or die, taking hostages to enforce continued Christian observance.”

When Olaf tried to enforce the new faith in in Raud's lands, Raud fled, using the new techniques involving sailing against the wind to escape and then outmanuevering the King at sea with his legendary boat, the Serpent, and isolated killed Olaf's ship and killed the King.

This sudden death of an unpopular King who used force to enforce an alien faith upon the people of Norway led to a counterrevolution with Raud being proclaimed King by popular decree. His turning back the an invasion by the previous King (who had been deposed by Olaf) Sweyn Forkbeard is still celebrated as Norway's national day.

While knowing percecution himself and a Godi himself who worked hard to uphold Norse Paganism, he left lay Christians alone, only banishing the priests and preventing their return, something that delayed the conversion not only of Norway, but Sweden, Iceland, Vinland by several centuries. When he died in bed but with a sword in hand, He was succeeded by his son Magnus the Magnificent

[2] Raud's son Magnus was a Norse King in the mold of his father and was highly religious whilst also being tolerant of the Christian worshippers within his realm, excepting envoys and priests who banished from his kingdom as his father had done. During his reign he turned back two invasions from Canute King of England, son of Sweyn Forkbeard.

After this Magnus would invade England himself, defeating the forces of Canute and capturing the King, allowing Edward the Confessor to reclaim the throne of his ancestors, having lived in exile in Normandy since his father's death at the ends of Sweyn Forkbeard.

After this great victory, Magnus attempted to invade Alba, the kingdom north of England which was ruled by Duncan I, who had survived an assassination attempt by his cousin Macbeth. After three stalemate battles in which neither side gained an advantage, Duncan I challenged Magnus to single combat and in doing so gained the respect of Magnus.

The two fought and Magnus was able to defeat Duncan I, capturing the King. Magnus would crown himself as King of Alba after defeating the King but the three previous battles with Duncan had left Magnus without a strong enough army to hold the country and so he returned to Norway. Magnus would ransom Duncan back to Alba and execute Canute. He ruled for the next four years before Magnus was cut down in battle with an invading force led by Harthacnut, son of Canute. Magnus was succeeded by his son _____ as King of Norway.
