The Royal House of Lionheart came into existence in 1828 when the Hero of Bowerstone was victorious in the battle to unite the land of Albion. He chose to take the name John after a child he saved from bandits not long after defeating Lord Lucien Fairfax, and Lionheart after the title he bought from the town crier and so became known as King John 'Sparrow' Lionheart.
