The Kingdom of the Golden Plains was founded as a Shire of the [[Emerald Hills]] in Amarillo, Texas, in [[1988]], attaining status as a Barony nearly six months to the day later (in [[1989]]).  Boldwen [[Reinholt]], who helped found the Shire after moving up from Dallas, served as the Golden Plains' first (and only) Sheriff, advancing to become its first Baron when the Plains achieved that status.  Reinholt's midreign was attended by  King [[Landolf]] and a large delegation from the Emerald Hills.  One notable occurrence during Reinholt's term as Baron was the [[Great Massacre]] of 1989.

The Golden Plains' first Baronial coronation-- that is, for somebody specifically elected to that title-- was held in September of [[1989]], when [[Donar Sean Stone]] replaced Boldwen as Baron.  This coronation was attended by Queen [[Alessandra]] Cheetarah Nightowl and another large contingent from the Hills.  This event was also noteworthy for being interrupted by a tribe of unusual spell-casting [[Ogre]]s, a monster which was thought at the time to have never been sanctioned in an Amtgard battlegame before-- whether this was the Ogre's first appearance in the game or not, we are perhaps fortunate that magic-using Ogres haven't been seen in Amtgardia since!!!

On November 12, 1989, Donar Sean Stone was forced to resign from office due to external circumstances which would have prevented him from attending Amtgard for the next several months.  [[Greywalker]] was appointed Baron Pro Tem by a vote of the Allthing in accordance with the [[Emerald Hills]]' Corpora.

History

The Kingdom of the Golden Plains was founded as a Shire of the Emerald Hills in Amarillo, Texas, in 1988. It quickly attained status as a Barony on March 11, 1989 and in 1992 the Golden Plains became the fifth Amtgard Kingdom (one month before the Iron Mountains). Over the years the Kingdom added provinces along west Texas as well as eastern New Mexico. The Kingdom consists of a varied populace involved in many different aspects of the game. Previously a static crown monarchy, the majority of the kingdom populace voted for Golden Plains to become a floating crown in early 2010. In June 2011, the former crown lands seceded and became a freehold and later a shire of the Burning Lands. The Duchy of Irongate was then soon established as the new kingdom seat due to its central location for althings and events.
