United Provinces of Knootoss
While the people of Knootoss rebelled against Lavenrunz as early as 1566 (see Knootian independence) the Knootian Declaration of Independence was issued in 1581 whereby the Staten-Generaal renounce the Emperor of Lavenrunz, to seek some 'another powerful and more gracious prince' to take the United Provinces of Knootoss under his protection. Formally, no such prince was ever found and the United Provinces were ruled as a Republic by the Staten. However, William of Knootcap was generally seen as the leader of the Knootian Revolt, and the House of Knootcap was bestowed with numerous titles, including that of Stadtholder. While the independence of Knootoss was only recognised as 1648, the Princes of Knootcap can be seen as the leaders of the Knootian Revolt during that period, if any single individual is to be recognised as such. From the declaration of independence to 1800 there were two groups: one (mainly the mercantile oligarchy) claiming that the Staten-Generaal had surpreme power, and another group claiming it merely shared power with the stadtholders or was subordinate to them.
