Heimer is interesting as it is the surname of country legend Alfred Heimer who founded the Judapest and lead people to where the nation is today

History

Pre-AD

Lyonheimer's history begins as Ugrics from northern Sarussia migrate down passed the Tauban Strait and into Lyonheimer, where they settled and brought with them their Ugric language of Hungarian. These people were known as the Hung Dynasty, and eventually would form into many kingdoms in the year 210BC.

First Kingdom of Lyonheimer

Beginning of the Kingdom of Lyonheimer

The First Kingdom of Lyonheimer formed as the united Ugric states in the year 1332, following the merging of all of the kingdoms, except the Duchy of Pyor which stayed independent right up until 1801. This occured following the signing of the Treaty of Csepel, which was written by the first King of Lyonheimer, Stephen I. The early days of Lyonheimer had much political unrest, with illegitimate Kings and Queens as well as unrest for the people of the nation, however united under one banner. They began to become an influence in the early 1500s as King Laszlo II, otherwise known as the Golden King, wrote up the parliamentary constitution, putting a parliament into place in the city of Judapest which stands in present day.

It was at this time the first standing army of Lyonheimer was put together, which was organised and strong compared to others in the region at the point in time.

Life for the people during the early ages of the Kingdom were fairly average compared to other nations at the same time in history, with huge class divides that were very hard to break. If you were born poor likelihood was you would spend your life poor.

Height of the Kingdom of Lyonheimer

The Kingdom of Lyonheimer became a powerhouse with their feudal system in Southern Thrismari, becoming one of the largest empires the continent has seen taking modern day eastern Gwyenn and northern Gotneska. They further had an organised, equipped military with little corruption within the ranks as the nation began to become a world power.

It was at this time that many of the greatest rulers and kings ruled over the nation with political freedoms and democracy. The people of Lyonheimer enjoyed being a part of the empire, most living lives much better than those in neighbouring countries at the time. Great roads between cities were built and the economy was bustling under the rulership of a great parliamentary system.

Fall of the Kingdom of Lyonheimer

As the year 1700 began to approach the kingdom's decline began. It started with the coronation of Lilli I, who would be regarded as one of the worst monarchs in history. Her reign began by taking a large amount of power away from the parliament and returning to a monarchy, with the parliament only advising the actions of the queen. This caused great controversy within the nation, causing many to stand up to the government.

This resulted in the Lyonheimerish People's Revolt which ended in governmental victory and overtaking of the monarchy, however it much weakened the nation as royalists still do not support the government. This much weakened the military, leaving them very poor also due to war damages to cities such as Emberek and Eghear.

A further event that weakened the empire was the Lyonheimerish-Pyorvian War which cost Lyonheimer lives and money, however gaining the territory of the Duchy of Pyor. It was also around this time that the economy worsened with trade from other nations was at holt.

This continued throughout the early to mid 1800s until the nation was colonised by Krenya in the late 1800s, becoming Krenyan-Lyonheimer.
