the lerovingians- these tribes where nominally under the rule of the king of the frank the first of whom was king Philippe 1st (of the lerovingian family). but after his death in 5141YBCW the Frankish realm was divided between his 4 sons, malakith, merovar, carloman and dagobert. the elders of each tribe elected the younger brother dagobert only 10 years old (born 5151YBCW). the elder brother divided up there fathers lands between them but they where angry there father had wished for the eldest to be named king while the brothers where to me made sub-kings bellow there brother. malakith the eldest (born 5170YBCW) raised an army of the northern most tribes while his brothers merovar and carloman went to the court of the hirarch asking him to step in in favor of there elder brother. her agreed and gave them 5000 dark elf troops along with suits of Armour and weapons for themselves and there own soldiers as well as a promise of more dark elf troops after the orks had been suppressed. the men loyal to the boy king dagobert also summoned an army. they turned to the high elves across the boarder. two kings offered there troops to help them. around 8000 high elf troops joined 4000 assembled in versongettia. in the north 3000 Frankish troops where joined by merovar and carloman and 5000 dark elf troops. in the north the brothers with there army decided the best move was to try and dismantle the elders armies. marching south the three elder brother in the hope of cutting the road east. the middle brother carloman took 200 cavalry and sacked the lands controlled by the most powerful of the elders. enraged by the attacks on his land the lead of the elder council Francis of the normani left the city was 300 cavalry to attack carloman. these two forces did eventually meet and carloman succeeded in killing francis and most of his small force. with this raise of moral malakith marched on versongettia and attacked the rest of the elders and there high elf allies. the battle of fauroux saw the brothers defeated by the larger army. they withdrew back north as the autumn rains came in. as the year charge the brothers revised great news. the ork war in the north had ended and the help was on the way in the form of some 12000 dark elf troops. the war continued into the next spring in 5140YBCW the brother know with a massive host drove south defeating the elders army and then seizing the capital. malakith was proclaimed high king of the frankoni and dagobert was dethroned. malikith sent a massive tribute extracted from the rebel elders to his dark elf over lord and securing his king ship.
malikith I, Sigerbert I, Philippe II- in 5132YBCW malikith died and his son sigerbert (born 5152YBCW) became king
the time of sword and lance (after the old races)After the The war of Men and the 'Old' races the allince of the frankish nobles fell apart. the eight knights had fallen out and in the wake of there vicotry over the elves with each beleiving they had earned the right to be named king of all the frankish.

each of the knights had proclaimed himself lords of new lordships which they named duchies.

each of these men held great tournaments inviting lords, knights and soldiers from across the know world to take part. the new kings of bron of house de nab (a family of Frankish knights) came and even memebers of sultan caboos's court came to take part.
civil war- when king Philippe died a succsetion crisis broke out. the son of duke leo of leyion 1st his son Michael raised an army to claim the throne. the first of the major civil wars of frank ended with king phellipes daughter gaining the throne as queen and continuing the house of le Bonaparte


the age of empire 311YBCW-260YBCW- in 310YBCW the kingdom of frank was disbanded and the Frankish empire was established under Joachim le Bonaparte 1st through his conquest in the war of Joachim le Bonaparte this saw the height of the house of le Bonaparte. the empire established many other client states ruled by his brothers including kingdom of szlski for his brother who became king Napoleon Le Bonaparte 1st and the kingdom of mortijza under his brother who became Louis Le Bonaparte 1st. however after the defeats in the last years of the war these kingdoms sliped from the emperors hands and he had to settle for the lands which he had conquered. this brought an influxes of immigrants from szlski and mortijza to frank creating a larger noble class. in the regin of his son the new empire fought many boarder skirmishes with there former enemies and went to war with the republic of san antonia during the war of the Band of false king where the republic got an army of warlords and tryed to retake bretinberg. when joachim 2nd died his 14 year old son joachim 3rd took the throne. his enemies took advantage of this and started the war of the duel alliance's. the young emperor however took up the sword and won battle after battle against his enemies. despite this a combination of failed attempted to destroy the san antionan republic in Joachim campaign in san antiona and the fact that his enemies where getting stronger lead to him having to dived his forces so much that he actually left flank. the emperors last battle to save his took place in brentinberg where he killed his foe abdulhamid asiri 1st only for him to be killed the next day. this left the empire in the hands of his infant son Louis Le Bonaparte 2nd. the empire was lost but frank was not and the kingdom was remade.

the reign of louis 2nd- after the war of the duel alliance's ended and the Frankish empire desolved. the re established kingdom of frank was crippled. over a decade of war had destroyed the economy, the army lay in ruins and the king was and infant child. king Louis came to the throne when he was little more than a newborn in 260YBCW. his mother and three duke formed a regency council. at this time frank lay wide open to attack. all of her frontier fortification where destroyed during the war. however the prince of Castilian (who was also the kings sisters uncle) was will to intervinew if war was to start up once agian.
Henry 6th- under king Henry 6th the administration of the kingdom became more centralised.  Taking after the sultanates and the empire, the king set up the departments.  
What this allowed was for the king to strip power away from the dukes and centralise power towards the royal government. Each department was handed over to a local govoner appointed by the royal authorise, and most where taken from the minor nobility and the middle class, as well as graduates from the royal univierity in verssongettia. This angered all of the dukes who saw there power stripped away. It effectended there ability to rase there own armies. The most angered where the coastal duchies and revolts broke out in henar, fregal and carlen. The royal army was sent in to suppress the rebellions but the king was forced to give out concessions. 
The dukes where exempt from all taxes going in and out of the ports on there personal good and didn't have to pay any tolls.
