House of Rothingren-Traugott

The Imperial House of Rothingren and its successor the Imperial House of Rothingren-Traugott were the important ruling houses of Hulstria, for over five centuries. Between the two houses 23 Hulstrian Kaisers(Emperors), and one Kasierin(Empress) have ruled over Hulstria historically, and 9 have reigned as either Hulstrian or Holy Gishoton Kaiser in more modern times.

=History= The House of Rothingren was established in 1650 following the Great Hulstrian Rebellion from the Holy Luthori Empire. Franz von Rothingren was a legendary Hulstrian commander during the entire 11 year revolt, only 6 years of which were actually a war. By the end of formal fighting he had attained the rank of Field Marshal of the Hulstrian Army, a position that made him effectively commander-in-chief of the Hulstrian Military. In 1650, the 3rd Hulstrian Diet offered him the crown as Emperor of Hulstria. Many in the Diet were opposed to a hereditary monarchy however the general diet overruled them. Franz was crowned Emperor of Hulstria in Kien on August 3rd, 1650 and thus established the Rothingren Line. For the next century Hulstria remained internally quiet as it explained it territories into the lands of the Gishotoi. However in 1756, Maximilian I died with no male heirs. His daughter, Heinrietta, attempted to assumed the throne, however she was blocked by several powerful noble families each believing that they had the rights to the throne. Henrietta was able to gain the support of several key generals in the Hulstrian Military and used that influence to take the throne. However shortly after her coronation the War of Hulstrian Succession broke out between Henrietta's supporters and opposition. The War ended with the Peace of Flieder, in which Henrietta remained on the throne but agreed to married Balthazar Traugott, the son and heir of one of the more powerful Hulstrian nobles that had opposed her.

=Modern Influence= =Family Tree= Please Note, many members of the Imperial Family shown as not marrying or having children, did in fact marry and have children. However it was the opinion of the Historians and Genologists that compiled this chart that persons descended from the Imperial Family not shown were not important to the understanding of the Imperial Bloodline or another family tree, such as the Nareath Family Tree, better show their importance in the bloodline.
