Augesbury Murder

The shot fired in the Augesbury Murder was not fatal. Afterwards an attack on his hotel followed by soldiers of the MoMA: several people were killed.

The Augesbury Murder was the murder of Dutch Titus Myksos on 24.09.1617 during a state visit to Augesbury, Norfolk (Aryasht), that resulted in the declaration of independence and the outbreak of the Revolution of 1617.

During an argument, the Dutch had - while being drunk - angrily announced the independence of Kildare. The Shirerithian Ministry of Military Affairs, with Minister Kraut, reacted upon this by ordering the assassination of the Dutch.

When this failed, he and his bodyguards were slaughtered in their sleep like cattle. This, meant as not only a warning towards the Kildari, but also towards rebellious Elws, angered the Kildari and backfired when the Dutchy fell into disarray and the National Movement received large support of the military.
