History of The House of Yorkshire-Königsberg
Origins
The family first came to prominence with their creation as Dukes of Yorkshire in 1189. The family advanced over the course of the Middle Ages, being made the dukes of Königsberg in 1563.
The family split into two branches, the Catholic Chambers and Protestant Schofield. The Chambers branch ruled the area of Yorkshire until their eventual extinction in 1869. The Schofield branch was comparatively more successful ruling over the area of Königsberg. Branches of the Schofield line ascended the throne of Saxe in 1415 and of Altenburg in 1527. The union of these two Schofield lines in 1618 allowed the creation of the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg in 1701.
In 1869 the vacant duchy of Yorkshire was offered to the Schofield branch of the family. The Schofield family in turn took the secondary surname of Yorkshire-Königsberg.
The Consolidation of the Cascadian Kingdom
With the extinction of the house of Victoria the duchy of Vancouver was without a ruler. When the house of Yorkshire-Königsberg ascended to the throne of the tiny pacific duchy, it was in financial ruin and in danger of invaison by the Kingdom of British Cascadia and its Allies.
In response to this pacarious situation duke Alexander Schofield Yorkshire-Königsberg cut court costs and government spending and created a moderate yet highly efficient military modeled on that of his cousins in Saxe-Altenburg. It was said during this time duke Alexander was living in a house no larger then that of an average noblemen, with most of the palaces and ducal residences sold to raise money for the military and government debt repayment.
