The War of Estranged Siblings was a conflict between Princess Emilia Antoinette of the Confoederatio Aemilia and Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle that started in late 1733 and lasted until the summer of 1736. The basis of the conflict was sown in 1723, when Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle took side against his younger sister Emilia Antoinette, when she tried to make their hometown Stadt Taktwinkel, independent from the failing Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. Following his sister's victory and subsequent ascension to the throne as the first princess of Taktwinkel, and soon afterwards the Confoederatio Aemilia, Jules fled to Neurossheim in Etzeland where he lay low for a moment.
In III.1733 he published a book containing libel and slander towards the princess, which irritated the princess and called for a meeting of the Aemilian chapter of the Order of the Holy Lakes in VI.1733. Meetings of the chapter were mandatory for all who qualified for membership and Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle was expected to attend. As he refused to return from his place of exile and attend the meeting, a request of extradition was sent to Mondo Etzeterra. Jules then fled to Rossmarkt where he created his own revival of the Lanzerwald Republic. After a long standoff between the Aemilian and Lanzerwaldian forces, Jules was captured in 1736 when he once again fled, he was order to pay a fine. There were no casualties in the conflict.
