The County of Boulogne (Dutch: Gewest Bonen; French: Comté de Boulogne), also recognized as Boulogne is a state located in Northern France. In 1408 the personal union between the Kingdom of Scotland, the Duchy of Auvergne and the County of Boulogne began, along with a new prosperous era emerges for the realm.
The Scottish Golden Age in the Continent came to an end in 1475, when the Auvergnat Empire was dissolved, when the realm was split between the two sons of the Auvergnat Emperor. The Dual Duchy of Burgundy and Auvergne succeeded instead in the region.
In 1493, Duke Lucas the Younger was eager to reduce the size of his overextended realm to focus more on consolidating its core, thus he agreed to concede the the County of Boulogne to the Lotharingian crown in the Treaty of Kales, which subsequently made it a region.
Background[]
John II, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne, passes away from life and Joan II, David III's wife inherits the Duchy of Auvergne and the County of Boulogne, thus the Scottish Crown Prince David III effectively rules over his wife's domain via jure uxoris rule.
In 1408, King Robert II Bruce of Scotland abdicates the Scottish throne to his son, Crown Prince David III.
The personal union between the Duchy of Auvergne, the County of Boulogne and the Kingdom of Scotland begins.
The Scottish Golden Age in the Continent came to an end in 1475, when the Auvergnat Empire was dissolved, when the realm was split between the two sons of Auvergnat Emperor Edward III, King of Scotland & Duke of Burgundy and Auvergne (1395-1475).
The oldest son, King Robert III of Scotland (1435-1497) retained the more prestigious realm of Scotland and the youngest son, who was also his father's favourite, Duke James I of Burgundy and Auvergne (1448-1485) was given the Dual Duchy of Burgundy and Auvergne, much to the dismay of his older brother. His marriage with Aline of Anjou-Lenzburg, Queen of Arles (b. 1461) also made him poised to became a major player in the region, as he was now in a position to restore the Ancient Kingdom of Kingdom of Arles-Burgundy through his successors.
Unfortunately he died in 1485 in mysterious ciscumstances, propably from his wife, who now despised him, for siding with the King of France, his de jure overlord and a very persuasive man, over her, in the ongoing conflict, the War of the Spider's Web.
His son, Lucas the Younger of Bruce-Auvergne (1475-Present), became the next Dual Duke of Burgundy and Auvergne, initiating the personal union between the realms of Arles and the Dual Duchy of Burgundy and Auvergne when he inherited the Kingdom of Arles from his grandfather.
In 1493, King Lucas the Younger was eager to reduce the size of his overextended realm to focus more on consolidating its core, thus he agreed to concede the the County of Boulogne to the Lotharingian crown in the Treaty of Kales, which subsequently made it a region.
