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 on March 11, [[1989]].  Boldwen [[Reinholt]], who helped found the Shire after moving up from Dallas, served as the Golden Plains' first (and only) Sheriff, advancing during his second term of office to become the Plains' first Baron.  Reinholt's second midreign-- his first as Baron-- 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 be making its first sanctioned appearance in an Amtgard battlegame-- whether this was the Ogre's first actual appearance or not, we are perhaps fortunate that magic-using Ogres haven't been seen in Amtgardia since!!!

Perhaps no single person had more of an influence on the Golden Plains during its first two Baronial Courts than Sir [[Flynn Lyton Telemon]].  Serving as [[Scribe]] during the Plains' entire period as a Shire, and then as its [[Vizier]] for a full year, Flynn handled almost all of the mundane tasks needed to keep a chapter functioning.  Flynn was often under-appreciated, and never sought direct leadership of the Plains himself, but his diligence and support always made the [[Monarch]]'s job much easier than it might otherwise have been.  By any measure, the Plains clearly avoided many of the problems that killed other chapters during Amtgard's formative years ''solely because of Flynn's stewardship.''  Current citizens of the Plains will always owe a debt of gratitude to this dedicated servant, for in many ways they've inherited the house that Flynn built.

On November 12, 1989, Donar was forced to resign from office due to external circumstances that would have prevented him from attending Amtgard for the next several months.  [[Sicarius]] Ceacus was appointed Baron Pro Tem by a vote at the next Allthing, in accordance with the [[Emerald Hills]]' Corpora.  In December 1989, at what would have been the end of Donar's term of office, [[Dustin Darkenmane]] became the second person elected to serve as Baron of the Golden Plains-- the third Baron in Plains history.

During Sicarius's brief tenure and continuing into Dustin's first few months in office, a controversy erupted when the [[Burning Lands]] ruled that Kingdom contracts would no longer apply to subsidiary lands-- meaning that the Plains would have to submit its own contract, under its own name, or risk losing its standing as a sanctioned chapter of Amtgard.  Despite initial widespread resistance to the idea, much credit is due to the newly-installed Vizier [[Desari]] Sagitar for persuading the populace that entering such an agreement would be in everybody's best interests; perhaps characteristically, the Golden Plains was the last subsidiary land under the Hills to contract with the Burning Lands.

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.
