The Kingdom of Seketan (Seketese: Rigal á Sécytanya) was a monarchy that existed in Seketan from the 9th century up until the Seketese Revolution. The kingdom as a recognizable polity reigned in Seketan during its medieval and early modern periods and endured as an institution until the Interwar period. It was at one point one of the most powerful states in the Nelborne and maintained its position as a middle power in Europe throughout most of its history.
The kingdom was proclaimed by Moress II of the Conils in 867, becoming the first King of Seketan and finalizing the Christianization of Seketan under the influence of Saint Gjenor and his legacy. It defended itself and other Nelbec states against Viking expansion, although lost significant ground in territories that would later form the Kingdom of Svealand. By the 13th century, the kingdom had expanded its influence to Trjebian and Wilsk areas, establishing itself as a regional power in the Nelborne.
The Noble Revolt of 1537 led King Fejer IV to establish the Hérvynsken and establish Seketan as one of the world's first parliamentary monarchies. In 1544, the Church of Seketan separated from the Catholic Church.
In 1765, with the death of Theo II and the ascension of Fjedor I, Seketan entered a personal union with the Kingdom of Alquiya. Fjedor IV and II. In 1884, Seketese and Alquiyan courts passed the Nelbec Imperial Acts, to which Alquiya and Seketan would become constituent countries under the Nelbec Empire.
The kingdom was de jure dissolved in 1919, replaced by the internationally recognized First Seketese Republic.
