You wouldn’t expect it, but it is one of the most intriguing question in Eiffelland. To whom belongs the crown?
The House of Hadamar can be traced back to 1076, the year of birth of the scion of the House of Hadamar. Lothar von Hadamar lived from 1076 to 1132, and was the Prince of Hadamar. Two of his sons reached adulthood: Lothar and Segimer. They grounded families, and now the House of Hadamar has two branches: The Lotharian Branch (Lotharsche Linie in German) and the Segimerian Branch (Segimersche Linie in German).
Originally, the function of King was not a hereditary function. Eiffelland consisted of 14 principalities and two free cities. The sovereigns of these principalities (called Fürsten, or Princes) and the mayors of the two city-states chose one of them as King, and then the King reigned until his death, after which a new King was chosen. This changed in the 14th century, as the result of a tendency in which fiefs and noble titles like Duke, Margrave and Count became hereditary. The first King of the Lotharian Branch of House Hadamar was Lothar I von Hadamar, who was born in 1200 and died in 1251. He became King in 1225. Since then, all the Eiffellandian Kings were from the Lotharian Branch of House Hadamar, but the function of King became really heriditary in 1312.
The 1225 election and the events afterwards had a clear outcome: The Crown belongs to House Hadamar. It becomes more interesting when you look at events that are more recent, however.
My name is Christoph Freiherr von Weizenburg. I was born on 4 March 1894, and I am the head of the Von Weizenburg Family. I will show you an event from the 18th century.
My name is Jonathan von Walsrode. I was born on 28 October 1894. I am the second son of the Duke of Walsrode. I will show you an event that occurred during the Great War. Both Christoph’s story and my story are essential and decisive to the history of Eiffelland. Let us take you by the hand and lead you through the paths of history.
