Line 87:
Charlottesborg quickly became the key component of the personal union between Cryria and Volscina. The Duchy proved to be a valuable launchpad for Katharine's forays into Volscine politics, and became home to the Imperial Court after her crowning. It would remain the administrative center for the duration of Katharine's reign and was her main bastion of support in Volscina.
Katharine's abdication of the Imperial throne brought an end to the Duchy's place in the sun and empowered the Queen's old enemies from the Charlottesborg Succession. Under diplomatic pressure from the newly formed Volscine Confederation and facing mounting opposition from the local elite, Katharine abdicated her Ducal titles to Martin, thus ending the brief period of Leidensen rule in Charlottesborg and returning it to the Reitz family.
==== Volscine Civil War ====
Due to its unique position as an ethnic minority in Volscina, Charlottesborg initially attempted to maintain neutral in the Volscine Civil War. Some within the Ducal Council suggested formal independence or a reunification with Cryria, though the latter was heavily rebuffed by Leidenstad along with requests for military aid. The proposals for an official split from Volscina, coupled with an increasingly dire economic situation and the reign of the Cryrian-born Duchess Louisa Reitz resulted in the events of the Charlottesborg Mutiny.
