King Harold of Greenlands

"I didn't know my father well, my son. But my elder brother did. He was fond of our father. He was also older than me and your uncles. My elder brother was a strong and good man. He died fighting our battles, but death was quick to him, and dreadful. A plague that beset our lands many years ago plagued him and killed him. Your grandfather though he was a strong man, died in pain of our brother's death. Father was only ten years older than me when he died." – **King Harry** to **Prince Henry**.

Harold was named heir of the crown by his grandfather for his valor and given knighthood. Harold became widely known in the lands. Harold served the Royal Army as the War-Lieutenant and sat in the War-Council of his father and later grandfather.

### Rise in Power

In 193 SA, Harold's father died on the battlefield, and Harold took his place in the ranks and became a strong war-lieutenant and military leader at the young age of twenty-four years. Harold served his grandfather alongside his uncle Martinus who was a known war commander.

In 195 SA, Harold was appointed the Commandant of North-East where he constructed a stronghold which became known as Harold's Keep. It was the strongest fortress ever built by the Kingdom of Bailey, earning Harold the trust and favor of his court. As Commandant, Harold kept a firm rule in his time in the North-East and forged strong alliances. He befriended the Noble Families of Durand, Clinton, and Walter as well as the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Estonia.

Prince Harold was also engaged to the princess of a south-eastern kingdom, the Kingdom of South-East Hills. The Kingdom of South-East Hills had the second-largest armies in the Sternlands and aided the Kingdom of Greenlands with its forces. Prince Harold and the High Princess of the South-East only shared a brief memory with her untimely death in the Winters of 196 SA. Heart-broken, Prince Harold locked himself in his keep.

It was later in 197 SA when Prince Harold stood up on his feet after the illness of his grandfather, aging 78 years old. Prince Harold was appointed the Lord-Bishop of Greenlands by his grandfather. He succeeded his grandfather in the Spring of 198 SA when his grandfather died due to his battle wounds. King Harold ruled the kingdom as the fourth ruler of the Kingdom of Bailey. A year prior to his grandfather's death, King Harold was involved in an intimate relationship with one of the royal councilors of the king's court. He married the Duchess of Port Capital, a strong province of the kingdom and a strong port in the North-East Region. He had his first son during the Mountain-Vale Campaign, Prince Ronovan Bailey.

After his coronation as king, King Harold reformed the laws and formed a circle of royal councilors to advise him in running the kingdom. The Royal Court advised the king in ruling the Kingdom of Bailey, but not as strong as his grandfather, King Harold started to lose many lands though being a strong administrator. King Harold appointed his uncle, Lord-Marshal Martinus Bailey as the Lord of War while appointing his cousin and ally, Lord Mander Bailey as the Lord-Commodore, a naval leader and naval commander of the Royal Fleets. King Harold participated in the South-Eastern Campaigns and fought on the battlefield alongside his men. He defeated the Kingdom of Folk in 204 SA and added the Isle of Fairstone in his kingdom.

During his rule, King Harold forged strong alliances with the Kingdom of Estonia and the Kingdom of the South-East Hills, he promised the hand of his elder son to his former in-laws, the Royals of South-East Hills. He married his younger brother, Lord Albert Bailey to the younger daughter of King Hasteron of Estonia, Princess Alanne. King Harold trained his elder children, Ronovan and Olara Bailey in the art of swordsmanship and sailing. King Harold appointed his brother, Prince Frederick Bailey as Lord-Commander of the Royal Armies after the death of his loyal commander, Lord-Marshal Patrick Clinton. He trained his elder children in the Royal Academy of Estonia and later the Naval Camp of the Isle of Fairstone. He appointed Prince Ronovan as the Lord-Commander of Harold's Keep in the North-East after he became a known swordsman in the Royal Army and a loyal lieutenant of his uncle, Commander Frederick.

King Harold sent his daughter with her uncle, Lord-Commodore Mander Bailey during the naval campaigns and sea voyages to the Pacific Seas and the Easternmost Seas. In 208 SA, King Harold's mother, High Queen Ellara Bailey was poisoned which raised up rebellions in the land. The following year, Prince Ronovan alongside his granduncle, General Martinus found the culprits of the assassination and a conspiracy to remove the king from power with the death of the High Queen and provoking havoc in the kingdom. The King's brother, Lord Albert Bailey was involved in the conspiracy alongside the king's former brother-in-law, High Prince Haster of Estonia. This led to bad relations between the two kingdoms.

In the Fall of 209 SA, the Kingdom of Bailey faced a major rebellion in the North-West Region by the Noble Families of Timber, Walter, Hearth, and the Royal House of Bailey against the kingdom. This rebellion was led by General Martinus and Lady-Commander Alanne Timber alongside their lieutenants. King Harold appointed his brother Lord-Marshal Frederick and his son Lord-Commander Ronovan of the Royal Armies in the North-West Campaign that lasted three years and ended in the North-West as a separate state under the supervision of the Kingdom of Bailey, which was later known as the Kingdom of Greenlands, leading to its fall.

### Death

In 211 SA, following the formation of the Kingdom of Greenlands, Prince Ronovan died of a plague that beset the Sternlands since the beginning of the second century, sometime near 208 SA. Crown Prince Ronovan left his wife, Princess Mary, his young son Prince Ronald and his unborn child in the hands of his father, succumbing to his death in the Winters of 211 SA.

After the death of his older son, King Harold named his daughter High Princess Olara Bailey as the Crown-Princess and his wife Queen Amandeyna as the Crown-Regent of the Kingdom. After becoming the Queen of South-East Hills, King Harold named his ten-year-old grandson Prince Ronald and his sixteen-year-old younger son Prince Harry as the Crown-Princes of the Kingdom.
