Principality of Sherby Hoodwounds (early)

The Principality of Sherby Hoodwounds was the second iteration of Sherby Hoodwounds (not counting the Dark Age that lasted for thirty days). It immediately followed the assassination of Jenson Jay Fouvier by Henri Serbut, the son of the last monarch of the Kingdom of Sherby Hoodwounds. Rather than proclaiming himself to be the King, he rewrote the Constitution to give powers to the Ministers and Governors to ensure there would not be future assassination attempts again.

The Principality was plagued by, ironically, the Mysterious Plague, as well as conspiracies and wars. It was also the longest ruling iteration of Sherby, spanning over ten generations. Eventually, the last Monarch of the early Principality, Undergag van Lovuta, was assassinated by his wife, Diana I, who rectified the Constitution to ensure that only females would ascend to the throne. The Principality was later succeeded by a Republic following a non-violent turnover of power.
