Hundred-and-Eight Years War

## Commanders & Leaders

**The Hundred-and-Eight Years War** was a war between the Koopa Kingdom and the Bohnenkraut Kingdom in the FreezeFlame Universe. The war was fought for control over certain lands in the Bohnenkraut Kingdom, as well as the Bohnenkraut Kingdom throne itself. It is a primary focus of *The Feeble King (1/4)*, where Lord Richard Koopa and Lord Sigmund Phoenix fight over influence over King John Koopa VI, primarily regarding their influence on the war. The war is frequently mentioned to be going in favor of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom throughout the episode, however the Koopa Kingdom are still holding on to a small amount of territory. This is lost at the end of the video however, in which King John receives a letter from King Klaus Von Speckbohne VII's son and heir Johann gloating about claiming their last holding, Oho Oasis. Shortly after recieving this news, King John collapsed.

## Timeline

### Background & Robertian Phase

Little has been described about the background and early years of the Hundred-And-Eight Years War. Given the name, it likely started in 1367. It is known that King Robert Koopa III was the King of the Koopa Kingdom at the time, and the *The Feeble King* prologue states the King was very successful in said war. Robert III's reign lasted until 1397, where he died of old age. His son, Edrick IV, died 30 days later of the plague, and was succeeded by King Richard Koopa II. It is unknown what role, if any, Richard II or his successor and usurper John IV played in the war.

### Kayenne Phase

#### Seizure of the Bohnenkraut Throne

*The Feeble King* prologue mainly details King John Koopa V's involvement in the Hundred-And-Eight Years War. He is described to have been as successful as King Robert Koopa III, having conquered much of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom through the means of battle. One battle of which showcased John V fighting alongside Prince Rodrick Koopa, the Uncle of Lord Richard later said to have died in battle, and another warrior who bears a resemblance to Lord Ironside. The prologue later shows John V and his troops having captured King Klaus Von Speckbohne VI, whom is described as mad by the narrator. John V married Klaus' daughter, Princess Klaudia, and is thus proclaimed heir to the Bohnenkraut Kingdom throne.

#### John V's untimely death

Following his marriage to Princess Klaudia, she would be escorted to the Koopa Kingdom, where she would lay the egg of John V's son, whom was named after his father. The baby would be the heir to both the Koopa & Bohnenkraut Kingdom thrones following John V's succession to the throne. Things seemed to be going well for the Koopa Kingdom, however their luck would soon run out, as John V would die before succeeding to the Bohnenkraut throne. His Mustie is shown stepping on a cactus while travelling through a desert, presumably Teehee Valley, and John V is flung to his death. Klaus VI would die soon after, and thus John V's son would be proclaimed King John Koopa VI at the age of nine months old. Klaus VI's disinherited son, Prince Klaus, would protest this, claiming himself Klaus VII, thus continuing the war.

#### Minority of King John Koopa VI

The prologue continues to provide details on the events of this period. John V's two remaining brothers, Prince Blayne and Prince Joseph, were made regents of both Kingdoms. Prince Blayne, the elder of the two, was put in charge of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom and continuing the war, whilst Prince Joseph, the younger brother, was given the responsibility of the Koopa Kingdom and looking after the baby King John Koopa VI. During this time, Lord Richard Koopa, who had succeeded the deceased Prince Rodrick, had succeeded to the Dukedom of Sherbet Land, and went to fight in the war under Prince Blayne. He is said to have maintained hold of Nordskal Ridge, and is shown fighting alongside three other commanders; Lord Edrick Windwaker, Lord Torrence Montageau and Lord John Tyebolt. Lord Windwaker's fate is unknown, however the latter two would later die in the hands of the war.

#### Decline of the Koopa Kingdom

Sometime after John VI became older, Lord Alfred De La Korde was named King's Claw by King John Koopa VI. He is said to have brokered an alliance with the Duchy of Bohnenrotte, a large Duchy of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom. Its Duke, Rugar Von Bohnenrotte, would join the Koopa Kingdom's side if John VI wed his daughter Cynder, and thus the two were married and Cynder became Queen of the Koopa Kingdom. Shortly after this, however, Prince Blayne Koopa would die. He is described as aged and respected, and his death badly impacted the Koopa Kingdom's chances to maintain the Kingdom. Lord Richard was seemingly an obvious candidate to succeed Prince Blayne as commander of the Bohnenkraut forces, however Queen Cynder instead requested that Lord Sigmund Phoenix be given command of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom instead, with Lord Richard being sent to govern the Frosted Kingdom. Lord Sigmund subsequently lost Nordskal Ridge to a Bohnenkraut Kingdom force, and is shown fleeing the battlefield before the end result of the battle. Another commander, Lord Torrence Montageau, died on the battlefield with the remaining troops, and his lands and titles would pass to his daughter, who married into the Junior branch of the Python family. Lord Richard would resent both Lord Sigmund and the Queen for this, and Prince Joseph was enraged with the King, now a grown adult. He is shown raging at John VI, however shortly after, he is arrested. He is said to have died in prison of "non-suspicious circumstances," however there is blood shown on the floor of the dungeon as the narrator speaks.

#### Unrest in the Koopa Kingdom

At the beginning of *The Feeble King (1/4)*, Lord Richard returns to the Koopa Kingdom following the death of Lord Alfred De La Korde, who was murdered by a swarm of anarchists ravaging the Koopa Kingdom due to significant losses made in the war. He expects to be made King's Claw, hoping to continue the war effort and retake the lands lost by Lord Sigmund, however he soon discovers Lord Sigmund himself has been appointed King's Claw in De La Korde's place. This enrages Lord Richard, however he is laughed at and sent back to Sherbet Land, humiliated. Lord Richard expresses to his wife Lady Tulisa Python and good friend Lord Wulfrick Greyford his concerns, however the two state Lord Tyebolt is still maintaining Oho Oasis. Lord Greyford states Lord Tyebolt has been fighting since the Robertian Era, however this is likely an error as Robert III died over eighty years ago in 1475.

#### Loveday & the Fall of Oho Oasis

To try and conciliate the two parties, John VI organises a Loveday Feast, for everyone to put aside their differences and get along. Lord Richard attends, however Lord Ironside tells him that while the feast is going on Lord Tyebolt is facing three armies under the command of Klaus VII. FreezeFlame22 lists the other two flanks of this army where commanded by Lord Rugar Von Bohnenrotte, Queen Cynder's father, and Lord Godwin Von Reinbohne, Cynder's brother. Lord Richard exposes this after Queen Cynder announces she has laid an egg, replacing him as heir to the throne. Lord Sigmund threatens Lord Richard with the same fate as Prince Joseph, which causes Lord Richard to draw his sword. Both sides factions pull weapons to defend their lords, however before a fight breaks out Parakarry enters, informing the group Oho Oasis has fallen, Lord Tyebolt has been killed, and that the war has been lost. The opposing parties continue to argue, however shortly after John VI collapses, rambling incoherently.
