House von Jungfreud

History

• 197 IC The founder of House Jungfreud, Odalrich von Jungefrewida, takes Ubersreik, becoming ‘Herizogo’, a title somewhat equivalent to duke. This is the earliest ancestor claimed by House Jungfreud.



• 1111–1115 IC The Black Plague. The plague kills thousands, leaving only a few hundred souls alive in Ubersreik. The ruling Jungfreuds abandon Ubersreik and do not return. They withdraw to holdings in the Grey Mountains to avoid the disease.


• 1940 IC The Poisoned Feast. The Great Enchanter, Constant Drachenfels, poisons the entire Bruner line of Ubersreik. House Jungfreud marches and quickly takes control of Ubersreik and Black Rock Castle. The few remaining Bruners go into hiding in the nearby Duchy of Walfen creating a last animosity between the two families.



• 2009 IC The Jungfreuds are formally recognised by the Reikland Diet as the rightful rulers of the Duchy of Ubersreik. This decree causes outrage from House Walfen, who believe they have the rightful claim, having married into House Bruner.
• 2010 IC Duke Wiprecht von Walfen declares himself independent from the Prince of Reikland after talks concerning Ubersreik break down.



• 2012 IC House Walfen declares war on House von Jungfreud. The forces of Duke Wiprecht besiege Ubersreik. Eventually, the Jungfreuds agree to swear fealty if they can continue ruling Ubersreik and all its surrounding lands. Wiprecht agrees, takes Jungfreud children as hostages to compel obedience, before moving on to conquest neighbouring estates.



• 2015 IC Having conquered the duchies of Böhrn, Dunkelberg, Falkenhayn, Haalstein, Stimmeswald, Ubersreik, and Wallenstein, Wiprecht von Walfen binds them together under one flag. Then declares himself King of all Suden Vorbergland.



• 2049 IC Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein besieges Ubersreik with an Undead host. The Jungfreuds appeal for aid from Karak Azgaraz but are ignored, and the city is stormed and sacked by the undead in the early autumn. Duchess Ilona von Jungfreud is captured from Black Rock Castle and never seen again.



• 2141–2149 IC The Second Parravon War: Whilst Jungfreud Troops are fighting against the undead of Lord Manfred von Carstein as part of King Adalman of Suden Vorbergland's army during the Third Vampire Wars (2124–2145 IC ), the Duc of Parravon launches a surprise attack through the Grey Lady Pass in an attempt to seize Ubersreik. Ubersreik is sacked twice, but Black Rock Castle is never taken.



• 2203 IC The Great Rift. A portal into the Realms of Chaos opens at Castle Drachenfels inleashing a week of horror as Daemons walk the earth. The population of the Duchy of Ubersreik is devasted falling to just 1,500 from over 15,000.



• 2302 IC The Great War Against Chaos. Soldiers from Ubersreik are sent to support Magnus Bildhofen’s Army in Kislev. To help in holding back the Chaos invasion of the north.



• 2303 IC Waaagh Zzadrag! Whilst the army is away in the north fighting chaos, Greenskins pour from the Grey Mountains and besiege Ubersreik. Once again the dwarfs of Karak Azgaraz refuse to send help and Ubersreik is razed.



• 2304 IC Once the Greenskin threat has subsided King Zaladrin of Karak Azgaraz agrees to help rebuild Ubersreik. Part of the agreement being that the new walls for the city must be ‘at least 30 Dwarfs high!’. For the next three decades, the exact measurement of a ‘Dwarf’ is bitterly disputed, with Zaladrin once presenting his newborn daughter as a suggested measurement.



• 2308–2310 IC The Third Parravon War. The Duke of Parravon once more invades the Duchy of Ubersreik, but his army is defeated in later 2309 and a force led by Graf Haldebrand of House Jungfreud invades Bretonnia and lays seige to Parravon in return. Peace is finally brokered a year later by King Zaladrin of Karak Azgaraz.



• 2401–2405 IC The Fourth Parravon War. Bretonnia invades the Duchy of Ubersreik for the fourth time, but even though Ubersreik is besieged twice, the second time for three years, it does not fall. However, the population drops by almost two thirds to less than 6,000.



• 2420–2422 IC Waaagh Grom! Ubersreik is isloated as thousands of Greenskins lead by Grom The Paunch roam freely across the Vorbergland largely uncontested as Emperor Dieter IV hides with most of his State Armies in Altdorf. The continued sieges leave Ubersreik’s population at a little over 3,000.



• 2474 IC The Fifth Parravon War. Duc Gaston of Parravon invades the Duchy of Ubersreik in the spring, besieging Ubersreik. Before the State Armies of Reikland can respond, most of the province of Ubersreik is burning. After sixth months of skirmishes, Parravon withdraws through the Grey Lady Pass.



• 2491 IC The Battle for la Maisontaal. Skaven allied with Undead invade the Grey Lady Pass. They are eventually driven back by an army from Bretonnia. Requests for aid from House von jungfreud were ignored increasing tensions between the Duchy of Ubersreik and Parravon.



• 2495 IC Graf Sigismund of House Jungfreud inherits the Duchy of Ubersreik after his father dies. He immediately moves his court from his estates in the mountain Duchy of Black Rock and takes up residence in Black Rock Castle in the town of Ubersreik. He soon establishes himself as one of the finest political and military minds of his generation, though he is known for his absolute ruthlessness and dedication to his family over all others.



• 2506 IC A marriage is announced between Sigismund the Younger and Salundra von Drakenburg of House von Drakenburg. Gifts are exchanged including a pledge ring present to the Jungfreud family by Salundra's father Dike Konstantin.



• 2507 IC Graf Sisgismund von Jungfreud suddenly cancels the wedding plans of his son Sigismund the Younger to Salundra von Drakenburg and instead announces his sons betrothal to Greta Trott von Tahme of House von Tahme. In the aftermath of this disolution of the bethrothal the Drakenburg Pledge Ring goes missing and is later used by Duke Konstantins enemies to imply an ongoing alliance between House von Jungfreud and House von Drakenburg despite the breakdown in the marriage of his daughter.



• The Drakenburg Pledge Ring later surfaces in the hands of the elven merchant clan known as 'The Goldcrests' who threaten to reveal it to the Imperial Court as evidence of the Drakenburgs' allegiance to House Jungfreud.



• 2512 IC Ubersreik Freed! Following a campaign to discredit House von Jungfreud at the Imperial Court in Altdorf the Emperor Karl-FranzI passes a surprise edict through the Reikland Diet at midnight and uses it to seize Ubersreik, forcing Graf Sigismund to retreat to the Duchy of Black Rock. An Imperial Herald representing Karl-Franz is sent to Ubersreik to govern the Duchy on his behalf. Whilst and army from Altdorf commanded by General Dabernick occupies the city to maintain order.
