The Ambrosian Empire (/æmbrˈoʊʒən/; Gollic: Împierum d'Ambreux; Ambrosian-Gollic: Împourym de Æmbrou) was a polity in the Trihhimerein Peninsula, headed by the Holy Ambrosian Emperor. It developed out of the County Ambreux after acquiring duchies, and lasted for over a century and a half until its dissolution in 1808. The empire was established by Henri IV of Ambreux, who succeeded his mother Marie III as King of Ambreux and his father Còzimo V as Duke of Accio and Lorangbury.
The wealth and political influence of the Holy Ambrosian Emperors led to conflicts with the Holy Montic Emperors. Despite the vast extent of Ambrosian territories, Wyllhelm VIII lost significant territories from internal conflicts, further facilitated by the petty kingdoms of Horteny and West Helderia. This loss precipitated various geopolitical events, including the 1836 Acts of Union, the Fall of the Montic Empire, and several other outcomes.
Name and etymology
The term Ambrosian Empire refers to the lands controlled by six emperors. No written evidence suggests that there was any contemporary term used for the region; rather, l'Împierum (the Empire) was generally used. The term Ambrosian Empire was first attested in 1838 by Karl IX. In Ambrosian-Gollic, the term Împourym de Æmbrou (lit. Empire of Ambreux) is used.
The word Ambrosian itself is etymologically connected to Ambreux and Ansium. The modern English word Ambrosian comes from Middle English Ambrosen, Ambrose or Ambroose, from the Old Gollic Ambros. The Old Gollic form was borrowed from Middle Saxendish Αξβνζπ (Ámbràos), itself borrowed from the Middle Ledonian ÆMBRǢOZIVM. Further etymological details, however, are uncertain.
History
Background
The County of Ambreux had been increasing in territorial extant since the late 15th century. Henri Angechet married Katherine of Ambreux, the daughter of Wilhelm V, Duke of Castor, and related to the kings of Horteny. Henri married his son and heir, Karl, to Âgnis, heiress to the Duchy of East Gollia, thus merging the county and its liege through a personal union.
As the dynasty of the Ambrosians consolidated their power within West Helderia, their rival, the [[]] also grew in wealth.
