The Crownlander Civil War was a period of unrest in the Crownlands region of Westeros, culminating in multiple armed conflicts in the early years of the reign of Daenerys I.
Though the primary conflict itself is generally accepted to have begun around 304AC, the underlying causes were present for far longer, most notably the lack of a unifying authority in The Crownlands during the War of the Five Kings and the years following, the destruction of land during Daenerys I's invasion and the large amount of refugees present in the region following the multiple wars leading to increased tensions and food shortages.
These issues led to multiple Lords, over a few years, attempting to each increase their authority and power within the region, most notably Lord Ardrian Celtigar of Claw Isle (following the defeat of Stannis Baratheon) and Lord Renfred Rykker of Duskendale, both declaring themselves Lord Paramount of the Crownlands.
Following the events of the Long Night and the War for the Dawn, in late 305 AC, Daenerys began attempting to bring both sides to the negotiating table. However, neither Lord Rykker or Lord Celtigar were willing to renounce the lands they had amassed during the conflict, and Daenerys was forced to defeat both of their forces in battle. After their respective defeats, Lords Rykker and Celtigar were both sent to the Night's Watch. Following the de-escalation of tensions by Queen Daenerys, the Crowlands were significantly politically re-organised. Namely, the Crownlands Council was establised, acting in many ways similar to the Small Council of King's Landing, albeit on a smaller scale and exclusively for Crownlander affairs. Furthermore, the office of Lord Protector of the Crownlands was created and given the same level of power and authority as the various Lords Paramount of the Seven Kingdoms, the key difference being that it was an elective position, as no House could claim the Crownlands by right of ancestry. Following the war, Lord Justin Massey was elected as the first Lord Protector.
