The Confederation of the Isle was a short-lived aristocratic union on the Isle of la Tondelle, now a part of the nation-setate of Kanjor, that strived for independence of the unique political, economic, and cultural system of the Isle and its estimated 1.2 million inhabitants. It was created after the successful defeat of the army of Kanjor's King Albert I at the battle of Atyr in 1544 by the rebellious Dukes Richard XVI of Bayon and Robert II of Villiers. These two dukedoms were soon joined by the Dukes of Deims et Map, Loitiers, Sologne, l'Ome, the Marquis of Famiens, Countship of Louvergne, and the Residential City of Afar.
