==History==
===First Era===
With the sudden fall of the Direnni Hegemony, the Kingdoms of High Rock began to rise into prominence, and the Kingdom of Daggerfall was no exception. In 1E 609, the Daggerfall Army under the control of King Thagore, marched into the region of Glenpoint and garnered control over the southern reaches of High Rock. Daggerfall became the number one leading force in the military, economy, and politics of the southern Glenumbra regions. Daggerfall has since established this, even today. Daggerfall's grand military would eventually partake in the Siege of Orsinium and the Battle of Bangkorai Pass.A History of Daggerfall
===Third Era===
In 3E 120, the Duchy of Glenpoint was under the control of Duke Mentin. Mentin was friends with Uriel III and Potema Septim, both of which ruled over the Kingdom of Solitude at this point. After the coronation of Kintyra Septim II, Potema started a war with the Empire known as the War of the Red Diamond, which occurred throughout Northern Tamriel, in the human provinces. Potema and Mentin hatched a plot to kill Kintyra II, by baiting her into Glenpoint with a plea for help. Kintyra II traveled across the Iliac Bay and was captured somewhere in the Barony of Dwynnen. She was held in a Castle somewhere in Glenpoint, where she was promptly executed. This injustice made the denizens of Glenpoint and the Glenumbra Moors very infuriated, leading to a manhunt for the person responsible and the location of the execution, destroying Red Diamond banners, leaving Broken Diamonds in the snow of Frostfall. Afterwards, the people of both nations mourned the death of Kintyra II by singing Sepharve in Old Bretic. This would become a tradition known as the Broken Diamonds.The Wolf Queen, Book VBrief History of the Empire, Book II
During the Imperial Simulacrum from 3E 389 to 3E 399, Emperor Uriel Septim VII was imprisoned along with Talin Warhaft in the Deadlands by Jagar Tharn. Tharn planned for months to capture the throne, and he was able to achieve so in the span of ten years. Tharn had a powerful weapon called the Staff of Chaos, and he split it into nine pieces and scattered them across Tamriel, the staff was the only thing keeping Uriel Septim and Warhaft in Oblivion. A warrior escaped his clutches and traveled all corners of Tamriel to retrieve the missing pieces. The hero was known as the Eternal Champion, and he assembled the staff and defeated Jagar Tharn at the Imperial Palace. The Eternal Champion had at one point visited the town of Glenpoint in their quest to recover the pieces.Events in 
During the War of Betony in 3E 403, the Kingdoms of Daggerfall and Sentinel fought each other for the possession of the Protectorate of Betony, located at the mouth of the Iliac Bay. The war took place mainly in the High Rock regions, and one such battle took place in Glenpoint. The Battle of the Bluffs was a victory for the Daggerfall Army, which was under the control of Lord Bridwell, who was an exceptional warrior and tactician that made Daggerfall successful in the conflict. The battle took place in an area between the Kingdom of Daggerfall and the March of Glenpoint, and it left the Sentinel Army damaged. Lord K'avar was horribly disfigured by the battle, due to a Dunmeri Nightblade. The war eventually reached the Fiefdom of Anticlere, where it had promptly ended.Daggerfall: A Narrative
During the Warp in the West in 3E 405, the March of Glenpoint was under the reign of an unknown Marquis, whose name was not recorded in the history books. Glenpoint existed among the twenty-three other nations of the Iliac Bay.

Later in the same year, the Warp in the West resulted in the Kingdoms expanding their territories, absorbing the smaller nations. The March of Glenpoint was annexed into the Kingdom of Daggerfall along with other regions on the northern coast of the Iliac.Events in The Warp in the West
