Aftermath
As a result of the successful campaign, Staunton influence spread further in Tahn, with the titular Kingdoms of Haense and Ruska being adopted by King Tobias of Courland. The city of St Karlsburg was set ablaze, in what Courlanders deemed just revenge for the pillage of Riga in the Riga War. Tobias installed Ivan Ivanovich as warden of the north, and gifted him the lands of the former Kingdom. However he would die childless, and without any immediate family the region was inherited by the Franz Kovachev, named the Grand Duke of Akovia as a vassal of the Kingdom of Courland.
The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska would only be returned to the House of Barbanov over a decade later, as a result of the Mordskov rebellion and a genuine desire of both heirs of the feuding Kings, King Joseph Staunton and Prince Stephan Barbanov, to put the historic rivalry between the two great Houses of Staunton and Barbanov to rest.
