War of Telamonese Succession

The War of Telamonese Succession (1483 - 1501) was a civil war in the History of Telamon brought on by the death of King Samuel VI of the Royal House of Calderon. King Samuel VI's death resulted in the coronation of his nine year old son, King John IX.

While King John IX was the monarch, his mother Queen Margaret, the second wife of King Samuel VI, assumed the role of Queen Regent. Queen Margaret was a foreign-born citizen, having met King Samuel VI during his many conquests in Seleya. The nobility of Telamon was not comfortable with a foreign woman controlling the monarchy, and a civil war broke out, resulting in the execution of Queen Margaret, King John IX and all the royal family at the hands of Aethelwulf of House Stafford.

The civil war continued for another 17 years, when finally Aethelwyn, son of Aethelwulf, of House Stafford was crowned in Ferescia.
