The 1989 Frankenlisch Coup D'etat was a successful military coup in Vionna-Frankenlisch, often known as the Glorious Ninth of March, which overthrew the reactionary Conservative government of Lord James Aemond and eventually saw the election of Lord Cypran's Imperial government. Led by the Marquess of Latterly, the anti-government Committee of Responsibility and Tolerance stormed Parliament Square and the Civil Service Quarter in Frankenlisch during a parliamentary vote to pass Lord Aemond's Legislative Security Act. After an hour of fighting, the Comittee seized their objectives and arrested Lord Aemond and his cabinet and forced him from office. King Edward III failed to denounce the coup before it had acheived its objectives and eventually accepted the result and called an election. In total, 38 people were killed and 88 injured in the course of the coup, among the dead was Lord Latterly who led the coup.
