Historically the area
that is now known as Kemedal consisted of numerous
semi-independent realms that waged war on each other
and/or lived in peaceful coexistence and/or were part of
foreign powers at times.
In 198 BP the Gronk Empire
conquered the area. Initially incorporated as the
province of Kemedal, its importance grew over the years.
In 24 AP the Emperor of Gronk appointed prince Ieuan IV
Lowarch of Bala to lead the Duchy of Kemedal, after the
original Ducal dynasty had been wiped out by the Plague.
Already in 51 AP the Duchy was elevated to Grand-Duchy,
and in 173 AP it was once again elevated to Kingdom
within the Empire.
After the collapse of
the Empire in 296, the Kemese Royal Family briefly went
in exile until 302, when Kemedal became independent from
Ansonia, which itself had become independent from Gronk
only a few years earlier and had annexed Kemedal in the
process. Since 302 Kemedal has been fully independent.
In 320-321 the end of a de facto dictatorship in
Ansonia led to a small revolution, after which a referendum
was called for Ansonia to merge with Kemedal. Following a
positive result on this referendum, the merger finally took
place on 23 April (1 Equis) 322. |
