Three Hundred Years War

== Three Hundred Years War ==
The Three Hundred Years' War is the term given to a range of conflicts between 1120 and 1437, over the rightful claim to the throne of Sereine, as well as the desire of the Ashwood Dynasty to have a possession out of reach of the Trekan government. The war can generally be divided into sections, there was a lull in the fighting at two different points. The Ashwood family dedicated the vast majority of their levies, political favours, and economy to the conquest, and while the war did not result in an ultimate victory, it did allow the creation of 'Angel Land'. Angel Land was a nominal duchy in Trekan law, though in practice, it allowed the Ashwood family to enhance it's power, survive the devastating first Trekan Revolution. 
The war begun in 1120, when the King John IV of Conland - Sagadahoc declared the throne of Sereine vacant, stating that it was his divine duty as a civilised King, embodying a consistant moral character, to restore order. The native government strongly opposed the move, and both sides mobilised for war. The first war was a partial Connish victory, with the battle of Terce, during which the Connish army routed a much larger, disorganised Sereinian force. In the following peace, the Ashwood family made gains in the south, and began employing marriages and bribes to become at the very least, tolerated by the local nobility. The gradual increase of Connish power culminated with 1275, begining a decade known as the Connish Dominion in Sereine, wherein the Kingdom of Conland - Sagadahoc was successful in claiming the throne of Sereine. This was a small lull in the peace, with the people not appreciating foreign rule, and domestic unrest, caused the Ashwood dynasty to retreat to Angel Land. 
During the Trekan Revolution in , the Ashwood navy relied heavily upon Angel Land, and Trekan nobility, to maintain it's power. This allowed Sereine to push back against Conland - Sagadahoc, and force them to a negotiated peace, formally ending the war in 1437, with the treaty of Lusangain, allowing the Ashwood family to use Angel Land for their purposes on a temporary basis, while renouncing all claims to Sereine.
