Alliance of the Kingdoms

The alliance of the kingdoms is the bond that all of the five kingdoms have with each other due to their long lasting relationship with each other. The five kingdoms are: Kingdom of Aubrey, the Downton Imperials, the Tudor Dynasty, the Kingdom of Fate and the Kingdom of Trenwith.

## History

### Starting origins

The Kingdom alliances started to form when King Anthony I of Aubrey and Queen Samantha I of Aubrey began having friendships with the Royal Family of Fate. Along with this , shortly after their children began developing their interests with marriages with other Kingdoms, the pair got in talks with the other kingdoms in hopes that their generations will be closer together through the years. The first discussion was made with King Anthony I, Queen Samantha I and their five children: Crown Prince Alexander, Prince Benedict, Prince Charles, Princess Daphne and Princess Elizabeth shortly after they all became engaged with partners from the five Kingdoms.

### The first meeting

Once the Aubrey children had married into the other royal families, they informed the current standing monarchs of the Kingdom about the agreement. Luckily for the Aubry Royals, all of the realms chose to join. The first official meeting was between King Anthony I and Queen Samantha I for Aubrey, Tsar Benedict I and Tsarina Kailee I for Downton, King Charles I and Queen Elsa I on behalf of King Bjorn I and Queen Clara I and the Tudor Dynasty, King Gary I and Queen Elizabeth I for Fate and King George I and Queen Elizabeth I for Trenwith.

The first alliance meeting was held in the Aubrey Palace gardens.

### The second meeting

The alliance didn't meet for a few generations until King Manuel I got onto the throne of Aubrey. He initiated the second alliance meeting to be held at the longest reining monarch who at the time was King Christian I of Fate. In attendance was King Christian I of Fate, Tsar Johan I of Downton and Tsarina Alicia I of Downton, King Manuel I of Aubrey, King Louis I of Tudor and King Charles I of Trenwith and Queen Amy I of Trenwith.

This meeting was to renew relationships after the generations had passed, although the relationship from Aubrey Royal's point of view was as strong as ever with the Kingdoms. The other kingdoms had tense relationships with each other. Unbeknownst to King Manuel I, tensions between Downton Imperials and the Kingdom of Fate began to fracture. War was shortly declared after this when previous relations with Tsarina Alicia I and King Christian I began to resurface with news that the Downton Imperials heir at the time, Tsasarevich Angel of Downton was actually the son of King Christian I of Fate when the pair were dating. The alliance fractured due to these events.

### The war period

With war declared, the alliance fractured into two groups. Calling themselves the allies was the Kingdom of Aubrey, Kingdom of Fate and the Kingdom of Trenwith. As well as this, Tsarina Alicia had her titles revoked and was locked away from view.

On the other side was the Downton Imperials and the Tudor Dynasty. The reason why they decided to form an alliance was never disclosed and kept a secret for years. Tsar Johan chose to personally lead this army although his trust in the Tudor dynasty and their pact weakened towards the end of the war.

The war came to it's resolution when the Dukedom of Fate: Princess Eden the Duchess of Fate, Duke Winston of Fate and their daughter: Lady Mary of Fate came to the agreement with Grand Prince Cristopher of Downton. Although the pair had been dating before the war, they were the ones who were credited with ending the war.

### The reunion

The alliance came back together to celebrate 200 years of Bridgerton rule. Three of the five Kingdoms still held the Bridgerton name whilst other members of the Aubrey family had married into the other Kingdoms. This was shortly after Crown Prince Elvis of Tudor and Crown Princess Dawn of Aubrey had married. Since Crown Prince Elvis was staying in the Aubrey with the new Crown Princess of Tudor, King Louis I of Tudor chose them to attend instead of him on account of illness.

In attendance was King Manuel I of Aubrey, King Christian I of Fate, King Charles I of Trenwith, Crown Prince Elvis of Tudor and Tsar Johan I of Downton.

### Birthday celebration

To celebrate the birthday of King Anthony I for crediting to create the alliance, the birthday celebrations were held at Trenwith Palace. Although the group had only met a short while ago to celebrate two hundred years of Bridgerton rule. King Manuel I of Aubrey accepted King Charles I of Trenwith's offer to hold the celebration at Trenwith

In attendance for the celebrations were: King Manuel I of Aubrey, King Christian I of Fate, King Charles I of Trenwith, Crown Prince Elvis of Tudor and Tsar Johan I of Downton. King Louis once again chose Crown Prince Elvis to deputise for him on account of illness.

### The heirs meeting

After the marriage of King Manuel I of Aubrey to Princess Audra I of Tudor, the pair called an alliance meeting so that the heirs of the realm to meet each other. Some of the heirs of the countries had to choose other people in their line of succession to step in.

For Aubrey, there was King Manuel I and Queen Audra I with Duke Antony I of Aubrey and Princess Kacey, Duchess of Aubrey, the Queen shortly announced their pregnancy after this event. Tsar Johan I of Downton and Tsarina Alicia I of Downton were joined by their new heir and son, Tsasarevich Cash. King Christian I of Fate was joined by his younger brother Crown Prince Aidan I of Fate, for Tudor, there was King Elvis I of Tudor and Queen Dawn I of Tudor with the Kings brother: Prince Nathanial since Crown Prince Lance was too young to participate. For Trenwith was King Charles I of Trenwith and Queen Amy I of Trenwith with their daughter Crown Princess Kristine.

### The eighth union

Following the death of Tsar Johan I and Tsarina Alicia I of Downton, the alliance commissioned another photograph to welcome Tsar Cash I of Downton and Tsarina Roxanne I of Downton. This was also to welcome the end of the in fighting between the Downton Imperials and the Kingdom of Fate following King Aidan I ascension with his wife Queen Wendy I of Fate.

In this meeting, there was King Manuel I and Queen Audra I representing Aubrey, Tsar Cash I and Tsarina Roxanne I for Downton, King Aidan I and Queen Wendy I visiting for Fate, King Elvis I and Queen Dawn I representing Tudor and King Charles I and Queen Amy I for Trenwith.

## Succession rules

### Royalty

#### Aubrey

As the eldest Kingdom in the alliance, Aubrey had succession rules that may appear outdated now. The rules that were set in place here were that the eldest son would take over the throne of Aubrey. There has been rare occasions were this is expected to happen. Princess Addison of Aubrey is expected to eventually become Queen due to her parents, Crown Prince Alec and Crown Princess Ciara only having two daughters.

#### Downton

The Downton Imperial Empire followed Aubrey's succession rules. The Downton Imperials had believed that male Tsars would be the strongest when it came to ruling and would choose a male over any females. There is an unwritten rule for the Tsarina to produce at least two males heirs in case the Downton curse of having to use the spare returned to plague the Tsar and Tsarina. There has been no cases as such where a female Tsarina has been chosen to lead the country.
