Editing Ardenian Civil War (section)

== Causes of the Conflict ==
The root causes of the civil war trace back to the political division created after the [[Ardenian War of Independence]]. King Sigismer's decision to marry the Albion noblewoman and Paladin; Lady Boudica Gaderia Victoria, and crown her as his "Queen" alienated the traditional nobility. 

Two powerful opposing factions emerged within the royal court:
* '''The Old Nobility:''' Harboring deep distrust of the foreign Albion influence, these families supported Sigismer's first wife, Maria, in secret.
* '''The New Nobility:''' These rising noble families heavily favored Queen Boudica and her daughter, Princess [[Adreana Gaderia Ardenia|Adreana]], to secure closer ties and lucrative trade routes with the [[Albion Empire]].

As court tension reached an unbearable peak, administrative corruption ran rampant. The instability culminated when King Sigismer was found dead in his bed under highly suspicious circumstances.
