User:Pawl/Sandbox/Old OGF list of Ingerish monarchs
Just for reference when we get round to working on Ingerish history, this is from the old Wiki (reformatted a bit). It references places which no longer exist and so will need at least some revision.
List of Ingerish monarchs
This is a list of monarchs of the Kingdom of Ingerland from 899 until the present day. The list traditionally starts with Oswald I of Colsex, whose rule represents the first unbroken line of kings to rule the whole of Ingerland. Previous attempts by kings to unite the various petty kingdoms date back to the VIII century, but none survived their death. Since unification, there have been over 30 monarchs of Ingerland.
