The Anarchy between 1556 and 1570 was a set of civil wars and conflict within the Holy Orenian Empire which occurred during the majority of John Sigismund's reign as Holy Orenian Emperor. The overarching conflict stemmed from the emperor's marked insanity and blundering with his powerful vassals, which allowed for inter-vassal rivalries and feuds to flourish and lords to feel disenfranchised with the Imperial state as a whole. It is also seen as a direct result of the Eighteen Years' War mere years prior, which drained critical manpower and saw a decrease in the authority of the Imperial crown after the death in battle of John I.
Containing numerous conflicts, political upheavals, and general unrest, the Anarchy is typically divided into three overarching events: the Third Rurikid Uprising, the Riga War, and the Krajian Rebellion.
