Scanbroughan Secession

The Scanbroughan Secession was a war during the 7th Century between the Kingdom of Faramond and the rebelling nobles of Scanbrough. It resulted in the independence of the latter, and marked the end of Faramondian hegemony over the southern shore of the Trade Lake - over the following decades Faramond lost dominion of most of its other land, having several towns ripped away by Lacrive in 638 and then the formation of the Kingdoms of Gabrainn and Dunfleasel.
== Background ==
Scanbrough had always been culturally different to the rest of Faramond, being more horse-focused due to its border with Halarbic and Parsanian lands. The arrival of the exiled Talorian House Higwalding in the 5th Century just added to the rebellious sentiment.
For nearly two hundred years the Higwaldings wormed their way into politics in the Northride of Scanbrough, becoming the Caped Men of Sturlmere once House Granthias went extinct.
== War ==
By late 634, the Higwaldings had most of the Scanbrough region on their side, and declared independence from the Faramondian King Aylard. The first year of the war was bad for the disorganised Scanbroughans, who rushed around raiding and pillaging while Faramond gathered its reserves to make straight for Sturlmere.
Once the Faramondian army was raised by the start of 635, it began its march to the Scanbroughan capital. The Caped Men finally combined their forces and the forces fought at the Battle of Shepsted Hill, resulting in the defeat of the Faramondian army. Peace was signed several days after the battle, on 13 January 636, with King Aylard giving up his claims on Scanbrough and granting the region its independence.Category:Events
