The Minority of Ruairidh Gòrdonach

Björg and her allies had escaped the war with Mànas’ death, and Scotland was likely to enter a period of uncertainty following his short reign. All asked if Ruairidh was sufficient for the realm.

Ainmeil (Notable)

  • Ruairidh Gòrdonach - King of Scotland
  • Malmure Gòrdonach - son of Niall mac Uilleam and Duke of Northumberland
  • Uilleam Gòrdonach - son of Mànas and Tanist of Scotland
  • Björg ‘The Just’ Hvitserk - Queen of Jorvik
  • Hemma Karling - Queen of East Francia
  • Ivar av Ivar - Duke of Munster, and Regent of Scotland

Cunntas (Events)

Ruairidh was 15 when his father passed, unexpectedly, just barely in his minority. He and the council determined that they would move quickly, and continue the endeavors of his father.

The War for Lincoln


War was declared on the Björg to claim the County of Lincoln outright for the young king in December of 924. Gwynedd was expect to join, and again the Isles would see the armies march.
