Reynerre

The Grand Duchy of Reynerre begins with Arinhalt, son to a Grand Knight. During his quest for dominance, he gained significant territories for his province he would name Reynerre: The northern region of Daulphry and the eastern region of Montois, land under the watch of his father whom would later be assassinated by mercenaries sent at the behest of his own son. Moreover, the region of Maluvine surrendered unto Arinhalt as he offered safety. The territories combined under his personal rule became a sovereign duchy within the Former Regellen Lands.

Arinhalt passed away without choosing a capital city for Reynerre. So his son Lancier chose the small western village then known as Grenois as the capital. The village was renamed Everliere and grew substantially over the years. Choosing the capital in the west was a great strategic move as west Reynerre was fragile to be reconquered and putting the capital in the region would make it nearly impossible to invade.

During the reign of Lanciers son Eudes, Reynerre fleshed out its dominance to the far east of its borders, creating a stable hold on all corners of the Duchies realm, though died during the beginnings of a confrontation to the north.

Eudes passed the crown to his son Perrin in the Duchy's most fragile of time yet. External conflict was on the rise with the emergence of Auvurn to the north. Poor leadership on Perrins behalf lead to the neighboring power invading much of Daulphry which created internal struggles as many close to Perrin began to turn on him. An assassination was carried out on Perrin soon after by almost all his family members and advisers behind it. However, it did not go well with the common folk who were appalled by such barbaric tactics used. The loyal knights of Reynerre immediately seized and executed all involved in his butchering. This left behind only one possible heir... His only child being that of a baby girl barely old enough to even crawl. This unusual predicament the Duchy was in was unlike anything that has ever happened before. It was decided that as their were no living male heirs, or any heirs in general, that she would have to rule the Duchy but obviously not until she is of the right age, leaving everything up to the advisers that weren't executed... The baby Corinna was widely talked about throughout the land, first as an anomaly but than with adoration as her growth was greatly publicized, becoming a queen people felt much closeness towards, knowing the little duchess since she was months old unlike most nobility who would hide in the background when mere heirs and pushed into the foreground once crowned.
