War of Odessan Succession

In 1404, Collar's Crusade, the assassination of Hedrifax Kaine, and the surprise re-emergence of Queen-Regent Eloise III presented a significant challenge to the rule of King Aden I. Due both to the Crusade and aggressive taxation, the King's popularity was at a Nadir, and Eloise was able to quickly rally both local nobility and foreign powers. The war was quick and bloodless, and by 1405 Aiden was deposed, his younger sister was installed as Queen Gwenith VII, and Eloise re-assumed her regency.
