The History of  Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there the Götaí and Ruaíaí as early as 500 AD. These early documents include the writings of ?? and ??. With the {{wpl|Christianization}} of the Geats c. 660's AD, it is clear that there existed a kingship. Queen [[Sarah II]] can trace her lineage back to the Viking kings ?? and ?? from this time, thus making the Monarchy of Gotneska one of the oldest in Argis. The area now known as Gotneska has a rich prehistory, having been populated by several prehistoric cultures and people for about 10,500 to 8,000 years, since the end of the last ice age. But the first evidence of human presence in [[Gotneska]] is much earlier dating to around 45,000 years ago.
