Royalty in the Kingdom of Cleveland (1983: Doomsday)

The coronation of Queen Anne II took place at Gisborough Abbey on the 15th August 1997 (on her 47th birthday), the crown was made of gold donated by the people of Cleveland.

In 2002 Queen Anne II married local man James Monroe in the ruins of Gisborough Abbey. The heir to the Crown, Princess Zara was one of the bridesmaids.

In 2004 Queen Anne II and Prince Consort James adopt three children, Prince Martin aged 8, Prince Jordan aged 5 and Princess Michala aged 3. All three adopted children are in line to the throne, and if Crown Princess Zara dies before producing heirs then the Throne of Cleveland will pass to Prince Martin.

Unification of the crowns
On the 22nd April 2007 it is announced that Crown Princess Zara of Cleveland is dating the Crown Prince of Northumbria, George Dominic Percy.

On the 5th August 2008 it is announced that Crown Princess Zara of Cleveland is engaged the Crown Prince of Northumbria, George Dominic Percy.

The wedding date was set for 4th November 2009. Princess Michala was a flower girl, Prince Jordan was a page boy, Prince Max Percy (Crown Prince George's younger brother) was best man.

The wedding took place at Richmond Castle.

This wedding and any children issuing from the marriage will unite the Kingdoms of Northumbria and Cleveland. It has been announced that the primogenitor rule (male children having right of rule over older female siblings) has been abolished and the eldest child (no matter what sex) will rule both the kingdom of Northumbria and Cleveland.

Upon the accession of the then Queen Zara and King George to their respective thrones the kingdoms will unite under the name United Kingdoms of Northumbria and Cleveland or the UKNC.

Upon the accession of the first child of Zara and George to both thrones (Prince Michael James George Percy, Duke of York, Earl of Richmond), the kingdoms will become the Kingdom of Albion.

The name of Albion was chosen as it is the name that was originally given to the former British Isles. Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History says "It was itself named Albion, while all the islands about which we shall soon briefly speak were called the Britanniae."

On New Years Day 2010 it was announced from the Royal Palace at Wynyard that the Crown Princess Zara and her husband Crown Prince George are expecting their first child, it is expected to be born mid August.

15th May 2010 it was announced from the Royal Palace at Wynyard that the Princess Regent Zara is expecting identical twin boys.

9th August 2010, as 4.13am Princess Regent Zara, accompanied by Crown Prince George attended James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. At 4.42pm Princess Regent Zara gave birth to a baby boy (weighing 5 pounds 6 ounces) called Michael James George Percy and at 4.57pm she gave birth to another baby boy (5 pounds 2 ounces) called Edward Henry John Percy. Both boys are healthy.

Preparations are underway for Queen Anne's 60th birthday on the 15th August, although she is still badly incapacitated due to the brain injury she incurred in April it is thought that she will be attending the national celebrations in the centre of Middlesbrough.

15th August 2010 - Although the Queen is in bad health she still insisted that she took part in the celebrations, a 45 gun salute was fired from the royal park at Wynyard and a 25 gun salute was fired from naval vessels off the coast of Cleveland, a military parade followed by a parade of civilian groups past the royal party which with great surprise included the Princess Regent Zara and the two newborn princes.

The Queen gave a short speech thanking the people of her country for showing her so much support during the past few months. After the Queen had given her speech the Queen and the Princess Regent formally introduce the Royal Princes to the crowds and announce that the Princes have been given their royal titles. Prince Michael will become the Duke of York and Earl of Richmond and will be known as Prince Michael of York and Prince Edward will become the Earl of Durham and Marquess of Raby and be known as Prince Edward of Durham.

Queen Anne II accident
17th April 2010 at roughly 1pm, Queen Anne II suffers a fall from her horse whilst riding in the Eston Hills.

Originally transferred to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough it is ascertained that she has suffered a major head injury and has bleeding on the brain, this is beyond the medical capabilities of the Cleveland Hospital Service.

A radio call is placed to the Celtic Alliance asking for assistance. They decide to send an air ambulance helicopter to recover the Queen and take her to St James's hospital in Dublin which is a more advanced hospital.

The helicopter arrives at 8pm and takes off at 8.15pm heading west.

At 9.45pm the helicopter sends out a mayday call saying it is having engine difficulties and is having to make an emergency landing. After that mayday call all contact with the air ambulance helicopter is lost.

In the early morning of the 18th April radio contact from the Rheged Co-opertive in Keswick, they describe a burning fellside to the east of the town, mountain rescue teams head to the area and arrive just after dawn on the 18th they find the air ambulance crash site, amazingly there are survivors, the co-pilot, main paramedic and Queen Anne II have survived the crash however the queen is in serious condition.

All survivors are evacuated to Keswick. Once in Keswick the Queen's health begins to deteriorate quickly, local historian John McDowell gives a possible idea to the local doctor, Trepanation. Seeing that this is the only option a temporary operating theatre is set up in the Moot Hall in the centre of the town. The operation begins at 12.30 pm on the 18th April, it takes 2 hours to do the operation which is decided it has been a limited success and by 6 pm the Queen is showing signs of regaining consciousness.

By the morning of the 19th April Queen Anne II has regained consciousness however it is obvious that some damage has occurred to the Queen's brain as she is paralyzed down her left side and is having major problems with her short term memory retention.

It is decided to evacuate the Queen to St James's hospital in Dublin where she was originally heading. Queen Anne II is loaded onto another air ambulance helicopter on the 20th of April. It lands in Dublin at 3pm.

Scans of the Queen brain on the morning of the 21st show that the bleed has stopped, and the trepanation saved her life, however the delay in treatment has caused some permenant brain damage.

Prime Minster Ray Mallon arrives at her bedside on the night of the 21st along with Crown Princess Zara and Queen Anne's Husband Prince consort James.

After discussions between the Queen, Prime Minster and Crown Princess it is decided to transfer the Queen's responsibilities to the Crown Princess until a point where they can be transferred back or kept permanently by the Crown Princess. This is announced in the Kingdom of Cleveland at 5pm on the 22nd April. From the 23rd April Crown Princess Zara becomes the Crown Regent Zara.

An investigation by a joint Celtic Alliance/Cleveland task force discovers that a volcano in southern Iceland had erupted and the crash was caused by the engine of the helicopter becoming clogged with glass formed from ash taken in and melted on the engine parts.
