History
Mediæval Period
During the Middle Ages, Samavia was a small kingdom with a pastoral economy. The Kings were of the House of Fedorovitch.The Fedorovitch were overthrown in the early fifteenth century after a rebellion ended in the regicide of the reigning king and the disappearance of his son, Ivor Fedorovitch, the Lost Prince.
Nineteenth Century Wars
During the next five centuries, two great Houses: the Iarovitch and the Maranovitch, fought for control of the kingdom in civil wars much like the English
Wars of the Roses . In the 1830s a secret organisation of Fedorovitch supporters was formed. Early in the twentieth century, reigning monarch, King Michael Maranovitch of the House of Maranovitch was assassinated with his family. Civil war broke out as the Iarovitch tried to crown Nicola Iarovitch king. However, The Secret Party rose up and swept aside the feuding dynasties and proclaimed Stefan Loristan, descendant of the Lost Prince, king.Modern Samavia
It is presumed that Samavia was absorbed into the new nations created after
World War I .
