The Accession Council of 3025 was triggered by royal dispensation on 16 May 3025 by King Maximilian II to decide the succession of the Iberian Throne. Widely considered by many as a snub to Maximilian's heir, Louis, Prince of the Newton, the Accession Council was given the prerogative to consider claims to the throne and decide on a path forward "in line with the will, spirit, and faithful journey of the Balancín Kingdoms". The remit made many consider this a traditionalist takeover of the line of succession.
Claimants
There were 17 separate claims put forward to the Accession Council. The two most supported ones are as follows:
| Claimant | House | Title(s) | Claim | Supporters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Louis Philip | House Murcia |
|
Eldest son of Maximilian II |
|
| John Alba | House Alba |
|
Great-great grandson of Charles V |
|
The resulting divide caused two factions to emerge: The Queen's Gambit, primarily Rooks and Murcian loyalists who supported Alba's claim; and the Alekhine's Defense, primarily Pawns, liberals, and democrats who supported Louis's claim.
