Manald Dynasty

The Manald Dynasty was a Bigham noble family founded by Charles Helos. The Dynasty consolidated its power in the early-8th century, eventually making the offices of mayor of the palace and Prince of Bigham hereditary, and becoming the de facto rulers of Bigham as the real powers behind the throne. The Manald dynasty reached its peak in 771 with the crowning of Renfrent as the first Emperor of New Bigham in the West in over six centuries. His death in 785 began an extended period of fragmentation of the Manald empire and decline that would eventually lead to the evolution of the Kingdom of Bigham and Holy New Bigham Empire.
