Bastion de Perrigwyn

• Originally a collection of Celtic Tribes, conquered by Rome.
• Abandoned to the Germanic Franks, turned into their kingdom until the 700's. Their language, Old German, Frankish, is still spoken by a rare few today and is seen as a language only nobility should and would be allowed to use.
• Split territories between kingdoms and boundaries and treaties are signed and passed between the French, German, and Roman Empires.

Bastion de Perrigwyn was built late 900's, with no exact date on record, and a town grows around it, allowing a court to form and eventually, the first Count Perrigwyn takes his claim.
They are able to grow with vassal states, and other nobles willing to fund to have a country with independence under the Count's rule.

By the 1300s, they had grown a Duchy, yet fell into possession of varied countries' rule with lack of a male heir to take on the throne, succession halted for now. This passing between countries only allowed the castle to strengthen and expand, and the disputes between these powers only fueled the citizens to independence and in 1605, they were able to reclaim themselves as a nation, a Grand-Duchy taking on the throne.

Now, in the 1700s, there are rumors of another failed succession, as the last living heir had passed only a good six years ago, and any past possible distant relatives are impossible to contact or have no skill in ruling. A religious parliament of sorts has begun to encroach the politics of Staedbergh, to the concern of its citizens and the hand ringing of their noble allies, vassals who are unsure where to put their loyalties and funding.
