King Tristan of Arcad

434 AD: The tribal king Tristan defeats the Romans in the Battle of HarnĂ¡n and founds the Kingdom of Arcad

Emperor Sigiswald II of Dragona

836 AD: The region now known as Arcadia is conquered by the Empire of Dragona, under Emperor Sigiswald II.
ca. 1050 AD: While officially still part of the Empire, Arcadia is de facto divided in 23 small feudal fiefdoms, each one ruled by a knightly aristocrat
ca. 1050- ca. 1390: The Era of Feudalism, the Middle Ages: feudal fiefdoms continue to exist and fight eachother, no political unity.
ca. 1390: The Duchy of Arcadia unites about the same territory of land as modern Arcadia.
1392: End of the Empire of Dragona, from now on Dragona will be a normal kingdom.

Alouisius I

1436: The Duke of Arcadia, Alouisius I, declares himself King after witnessing a vision in which God would have appointed him. Alouisius is crowned by the Pope himself on Easter.
1539: After a war with the Kingdom of Dragona, Arcadia doubles its territory
1622: Start of a religious war between Catholics an Protestants, which will last for thirty years
1637: For the first time, the Parliament of Arcadia is founded.
1652: End of the Great Religious War. Catholicism prevails in Arcadia, but the surviving Protestants flee and found the Kingdom of Sealand.
1703: After the death of the king of Dragona, Arcadia claims to have right on the throne. A war follows.
1759: After many wars and treaties, the official end of the Succession War is signed. Arcadia loses all territories it conquered in 1539
1766: The Catholic Party is founded
1770: The Jacobin Movement is founded
1789: In Sealand a Jacobin Revolution breaks out. The Working Class seizes the power and declares the Republic of Sealand.
1791: The Liberal Party is founded
1796: Dragona invades Sealand, but its armies are utterly vanquished by the Republican Guard.
1799: Dragona attacks the Kingdom of Arcadia because of an old feudal disagreement. In an attempt to reestablish the old Empire of Dragona, hundreds of thousands die. The decisive battle takes place just outside Arcadia City, where the Arcadians ultimately win. Tensions with Dragona remain high, and the revolutionary Republic of Sealand is also far from being an ally. Essentially, Arcadia stands alone.
