During Chaburteen's reign, several languages were spoken by [[Helderia]], and he was known to Helderians as ''Charles'' in the [[Gollic]] language and ''Karl'' to [[Old Heldervinian]] speakers. The name ''Chaburteen'', as the king and his successors of the same name are most commonly known in English, comes from the Gollic ''Charles-le-tier'' (Charles the Peaceful). In [[Modern Heldervinian]], he is known as ''Karl de Groß''.

Chaburteen II (Gollic: Chârles l'Tiér; Modern Heldic: Karl de Thiertze; Modern Vrebsicourgi: Carlo el Tiròno; 14 August 1192–7 December 1255), also called Chaburteen the Last and Chaburteen the Mad, was King of the Helds from 1217 until his death in 1255. Additionally, he was Count of Epondy jure uxoris from 1211 until 1242. His reign was marked by the Fall of Helderia, a civil war in which his four sons–Karl III, Lüdwig I, Volker I, and Korbinian I–tore the kingdom apart over succession.

Early life and reign

Chaburteen was born in the County of Ambreux in Helderia with unknown parents. Contemporary genealogies list him as being the great-grandson of Napoleon VI. However, no other records mention any additional children of the Gollic monarch besides Napoleon VII. Regardless, the future king was placed into the care of Karl I as an infant, after which he grew in wealth and purchased estates from nobles. Chaburteen narrowly survived the Second Gollic Plague, leaving him crippled. When Karl died childless in 1217, the succession of the Heldic throne became contested. Chaburteen sent his wife to attempt to encourage recognition of himself as the rightful king. After the failed attempts, Chaburteen marched to Figerbuun and cut off all trade, forcing the nobles to elect him King of Helderia.

Chaburteen had to intervene in the east immediately following his election. His brother, Romano Charpentier temporarily seized control of eastern possessions following the news of the coronation of the king. Chaburteen quickly crossed the Champéneux and met Romano at Althause. An agreement was reached by the two siblings, under which Romano would surrender all of his possessions in return for protection. However, Chaburteen breached the agreement and imprisoned his brother.

On Chaburteen's return, the king fabricated the epithet the Peaceful in order to achieve higher local popularity. His decision was met with opposition from a wide range of nobles, who pointed out the hypocrism. Chaburteen held his first royal feast in 1222. A number of influential counts attended, as well as councillors. Chaburteen issued a charter declaring his right to absolute rule, and subsequently killed the guests in the deadliest non-military massacre in Trihhimic history until four centuries later. Immediately after, the king orchestrated plans to seize control estates.

Following the murder, the king was captured by his wife Orlîân Bon and imprisoned in the Tower of Ambreux. The queen convinced the king to grant their second son, Lüdwig I, a realm upon Chaburteen's death in return for his release. Chaburteen, however, soon changed his opinion, and spent the next decade at war with his wife and, later, Lüdwig. The king would alternately hold tight control over the kingdom and be banished to Searenland.
