Originating from the succession crisis following Queen Charlotte's death in 1822, the House of Windsor rose to power by combining religious authority and political leadership. The unique style of governance propelled the House of Windsor into worldwide renown, resulting in a peaceful and prosperous society.
The neo-feudal United Kingdom is ruled through a combination of religious authority and feudal principles. The House of Windsor serves as the unofficial spiritual leaders, supported by a council of Archbishops and Bishops from various religious denominations. This spiritual authority allows the House of Windsor to maintain a balance between religious freedom and the strict rule of the neo-feudal system.

The heir is chosen through a divine ordeal contested by the best and brightest aristocrats during a religious ceremony.

Major figures in the House of Windsor include Queen Elizabeth III, her consort Gordon, and her seven children. Each character has unique accomplishments and challenges, shaping the history and direction of the alternate timeline.
