Around the same time, Tretrid waged a number of wars against Norgsveldet to limit Norgsveltian influence over Novaris and to halt the spread of Gustafic Asatru.

In 1804, Eadgyð II commenced sweeping reforms of the Tretridian government with the proclamation of the Charter of Privileges, which was in essence the Tretridian constitution. The Charter expanded the role of the Witan to take up most of the duties of day-to-day governance of Tretrid, and also mandated elections to the Folkmoot. As Eadgyð continued to retain command of the military and to dictate foreign policy, her reign has been argued to employ an early form of [[royalistic populism]].

The creation of the Charter proved fatal to the Eorlist faction as it existed throughout the 18th century, as their support for the rather unpopular traditional landed nobility of Tretrid lead to many Eorlists to be voted out in the newly instated elections, while Cynists would be elected in waves due to public enthusiasm for the monarchy as a result of the democratization of Tretrid. While the Cynist faction briefly enjoyed total control of the Witan, however, they ended up splintering from infighting on the subject of possible reforms into the Liberal Party (later the Liberal Democratic Party) and the Conservative Party by the 1816 elections. The Eorlist faction's last seats in the Folkmoot were lost in 1824, though they would continue to have members in the Athelmoot for decades afterwards.
