Youn's Reign

Political event

Youn, eldest of Monhar's twin sons, rules Youk Kingdom until he died of sudden illness at the age of 36 in 2878. Some believe he was poisoned by his brother Yout.

Youn took the throne after the death of his father in 2873.  Throughout his reign, the Trinitarian Church grew in power and prestige, causing much grumbling amongst the less religious businessmen and nobles of the north.   Youn's reign saw peace in the east, but 2 more rebellions occured in the southwest in 2875 and 2877, which were brutally quelled by his brother Yout, as he was still the warden of the west. This brutallity troubled Youn greatly and in 2878 he invited his brother to a feast in Youk where he anounced the pregnancy of his wife and reprimanded his brother for his overly violent treatment of the western rebels. The night after the feast, Youn fell ill with terrible stomache pains and died the following day.   Some believe that Youn was poisoned, but they are split between those who believe he was poised by his wife, his brother, by a foriegn power, or a combination of two or more.
