Bacofi.
[ Heortlending]. From 1380 to 1405. Appointed baron by Andrin, made a
Earl of Gardufar by [ ]. Called the "Holy King" for he had
the Pharaoh's favor and discussed with him often.
[ Heortlending ]. From 1405 to 1425. Earl of Gardufar. His coronation
as King of Heortland was contested by Hardrard the Green king of the

ultimately sputters out.

from Praxians.
[Heortlending ]. From 1460 to 1470. Earl of Gardufar. The "Magical

themselves High Kings of the Hendreiki. Allied with Kitori.
[ Esvulari]. From 1490 to 1545. Earl of Esvulari. The "Forever King"
or the "Old King", his reign was long and uneventful. Over the course

Volsaxi.

other nobles. First king to hire Western mercenaries.
[Esvulari]. To 1595. First king to appoint foreigners as sheriffs.
[Esvulari]. To 1617. Relies extensively on Western mercenaries and
foreigners. Neither loved or hated, feared or respected.
Just some thoughts. The brackets indicates what kind of name the king has - Hendreiki (which is more or less traditional Heortling), Heortlending (which is like Sartar, Saronil, etc.) or Esvulari. Let me know what you think.
