Battle of Mary's Hill

The Battle of Mary's Hill also known as the Battle of the three Aundars was an important but phyrric victory for Freeland during Josef Alexandar's invasion of Plaautania. Mary's Hill was the sight of a large military fort which overlooked the river Twif beyond the river Twif was the industrial city of Yaatol. Josef Alexandar aimed to take the fort and the city to supply his army as it invaded Plaautania. Josef won the battle  and was able to capture Yaatol however it costed a quarter of the Freelander IV army. Freeland's Parliament under Victor Himgard voted to pass the Adventures Act which made it only legal for the King to declare war with the consent of Parliament. This forced Josef to end his invasion of Plaautania however Freeland was able to hold onto all territory sixty miles west from the river Twif including Yaatol.

Prologue
Josef Alexandar was crowned King of Freeland in 1842 at the age of fifteen after the death of his father Peter Ganswick whom was previously regent of Freeland. Josef took his mother Louisa of Aundar-Alexandar a pretender to the throne's titles and thus became a pretender himself he then gave his titles to his paternal cousin Edgar Ganswick. Royalists within Parliament however during the months following Peter's death were split between giving the throne to Josef Alexandar whom was illegitimate or giving it Eduard VIII of Plaautania who was a direct decended of the last King of Freeland or to his cousin Alexandar who was also a direct decended of the last King. Josef's main claim was that he was culturally, religously and racially a Freelander whilst his distant Plaautanian relatives were Plaautanian. Whilst supporters of the Plaautanian pretenders argued that their claims were more legitimate. Nationalists in Parliament supported Josef therefore breaking the tie and letter Josef be crowned King. Josef feared that Eduard VIII would try to take the throne from him so he invaded in 1843.
