The Bukoian invasion of Sallia took place from Deecember 1180, when Bukoian forces established a beachhead on the coast of the Sallian kingdom of Doodenelle, to May 1187, when the final Sallian kingdom surrendered to Bukoian forces. The invasion had initially been approved by Pope Alexander III in 1179, when King Edward III of Bukoia submitted his plans of invasion to him. The invasion was a major event in Sallian history, beginning over 700 years of Bukoian rule over Sallia.
