History of Trébole

The history of Trébole refers to the history of the states of the Trébolaise Confederation.
==200 BCE - 550 CE (approx): Ierigian rule==
The Ierigian Empire ruled the modern regions of Trébole for several centuries. During this period they heavily persecuted the CELTIC peoples of the region, with many fleeing to the island of CELTIC ISLAND.
==550 - 980 CE (approx): Early kingdoms==
Following the fall of the southern regions of the Ierigian Empire, various Trébolaise took control of the region.
==980 - 1640 CE (approx): Divided region==
During this period, there was a series of competing kingdoms which sought to take control of the region and engaged in a fluctuating system of alliances and conflicts.
==1640 - 1824 CE (approx): United Kingdoms==
Between these years, there were two major powers on the continent: the Agardian Empire and the United Kingdoms. In terms of modern territory, the former was composed of Agardy and its allied duchies and principalities while the latter was approximately the three existing kingdoms and the former kingdom of Vierbéliard. For almost two centuries, the United Kingdoms rivalled the Empire to establish control over the regions of the modern Trébolaise Confederation. The United Kingdoms was a fragile union and on several occasions came close to fragmentation, though they generally managed to remain a stable and powerful rival to Agardy until the War of the Anamaran Succession when the decision by the Kingdom of Vierbéliard to support the Tripartite Alliance led to the collapse of the union. During the war, Angoussons and Lourenne supported the Altéan claimant Prince Félipé of XYZ while Vierbéliard and Vinarelis sided with Michel of Monttou.
==1824 - present: Confederation==
After the War of the Anamaran Succession, the states were formed into the Trébolaise Confederation. The Confederation was largely engineered by the Agardian Empire, as the primary victorious party in the war but concessions were made to the kingdoms of Vierbéliard and Vinarelis. Initially, the Empire had intended to relegate Vierbéliard to a duchy and strip much of its territory from it as a retribution for supporting the Imperial Alliance but it ultimately only lost the Principality of Vanne-Beauvin and was granted a special status of Archduchy, with additional voting privileges in the Confederal Assembly.
