War of Nobles

The War of Nobles was a united Nemesség-Polgárság rebellion against the House of Esterházy and the Second Kingdom of Hétumoger. It occurred after the Lakottial Conference of Andrássy. The war ended in the disestablishment of the Kingdom and the establishment of the First Noble Republic of Hétumoger. The conflict is also known as the War of the House of Esterházy or the War for the Throne.

The war was espoused by the succession of János XVII to the throne, which was disputed by his brother Ispán Miklós Esterházy. Originally gauranteed by their father Zgismond I. Poised to be a factional successionist war, the House of Koháry hosted the Lakottial Conference in an effort to prevent the armament of noble houses. Beforehand, the Imperial War of the Confederation was still recorded as one of the worst wars in the History of Hétumoger. The history of the war combined with the rising tensions between János and Miklós caused for the Lakottial Conference to change direction towards the House of Esterházy.

The War of Nobles began after the Statement of Secession, where the Coalition of Noble Houses sceded from the Second Kingdom. The War of Nobles would eventually see the division of all noble families on a political position. The idea of Noble Politics came into play during the war, and later would involve the use of Hétumoger Indigeneous Tribal Reserves as part of the conflict.

The Esterházy family formed the Royalist Congress which was made up of supporting royalist families including the Esterházy family itself. The Royalist Congress would often be extremely brutal in their means of warfare and their treatment of prisoners, who were seen as traitors to the Esterházy throne. The new government and the following constitution would mark the beginning of the government type of a Noble Republic and eventually led to the creation of a Nepkormany, which was the first involvement of the Polgárság into leading the government.
