History of Emerstari |
Timeline |
HM The King HM The King Father HM The King Mother HM The King Grandmother |
Queen-consort of Emerstari (Emerstarian: Drottning Emerige) is a title adopted by the wives of the Kings of Emerstari whereas King-regent of Emerstari (Emerstarian: Kuing-regellere Emerige) is a title adopted by the husbands of four of the five Queen-regnants of Emerstari (the brother of Erika I Henriette functioned as her King-regent, later becoming King himself after her death). In theory, the the title King-regent is more powerful than the title Queen-consort but less powerful than Queen-regnant, but in practice, King-regents of Emerstari have always dominated the rules of their Queen-regnants; a King-regent, however, is not crowned King-regnant, or simply King, because he is not in the line of succession to the Emerstarian throne.
House of Eirikr (1047-1122)
The reign of Erik the Victorious begins the rule of House of Eirikr, which had been referred to earlier as the House of Kveldur after a semi-legendary ancestor of Erik; the House of Eirikr, by its own right and through its cadet branches, would continue and still continues to dominant Emerstarian politics. Erik I died in 1078, and his two eldest sons Jakob I and Olaf I agreed to rule as diarchs as before his death, Erik had requested his friend, the Bishop of Uppsalle Bjivorr Eylirsson, to excommunicate his sons if they commit kinslaying or split the Kingdom via civil war. Jakob's eldest son, Jakob II took vows of chastity (possibly to hide the fact he was infertile). Therefore when he died, the kingship was again a monarchy through Olaf's line, but Olaf's son, Karl I died in 1122 with only an infant son, so the nobility used an Emerstarian form of tanistry known as slektentilsogening to select a new king.

House of Sigfredsson (1122-1235)
Harald I succeeded to the to throne as the maternal grandson of Jakob I. His father, Sigfred the Hound, for whom the House of Sigfredsson is named, had been a trusted commander of the Eirikrian kings, and his grandfather had been one of the earliest supporters of Erik the Victorious. Harald, an avid bear-hunter (for that, he earned his epiteth), severely injured himself in a hunting incident in 1134, and he abdicated for his son Erik II. Erik II's great-grandson, Karl II had only a daughter, so the throne passed to the third son of Karl's sister, Isabel Håkonsdottir who had married Peter von Wassen, Count of Wassen.

He ruled as the eighth Erik despite being only the seventh in honor of his grandfather who he had been very close to.
