Carolus Conspiracy

The Carolus Conspiracy was a failed assassination attempt against Queen Hió of Etrand - queen consort of King Calhoun of Etrand - led by Carolus Marecling and several fellow conspirators. While the conspirators failed to assassinate Hió herself, several of her retinue got killed. In order to prevent a civil war or open rebellion, King Calhoun punished only the ringleaders and not only pardoned the other participants, but also revived the Fathred-cult, and made gestures towards his vassals, ensuring their position in the Kingdom.
