The Great Northern War, otherwise known as the Northern Campaign in the Kingdom of Courland, was a conflict involving the House of Staunton and Barbanov between early 1603 to late 1604. Hostility brew due to a series of incidents, not least to the past Riga War some 40 years prior, with King Marius formally submitting an ultimatum in 1603 to King Tobias. The latter refused to accept the terms, and conflict ensued. The conflict began in the Courlandic controlled former Imperial Heartlands, culminating in the Battle of Elba. After, the Courlandic host sieged the House of Vanir stronghold in eastern Haense, with the successful siege leading to the complete capitulation of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska and the dominance of House of Staunton both in human and world politics. Major Confrontations
Timeline
AftermathAs 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. |
