History
1527 – 1570
The current Conservative Monarchist Party claims to be a continuation of the historic Conservative Monarchist Party, which came into being on 12 Grasmaand 1527 AN as a merger between the Christian Social Union (Batavian: Christelijke Sociale Unie) and the Monarchist Conservative Party (Batavian: Monarchistische Conservatieve Partij). The party was originally called the Christian Monarchist Party (Batavian: Christelijke Monarchistische Partij), but that changed to the current name on 5 Herfstmaand 1544 AN.
In 1570 AN what was left of the once large party was transformed into the Batavian Front Party (Batavian: Bataafsche Frontpartij). This is seen by historians as the end of the Conservative Monarchist Party.
1666 – now
The party was re-established by Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy on 21 Slachtmaand 1666 AN. With his coronation as king of Batavia, he left the party. Benjamin Cambernon was elected party leader on 12 Grasmaand 1671 AN. In 1697 AN Gisela Starck was elected party leader. She managed to win the absolute majority in the next two elections to the Lagerhuis and thus the premiership. The elections of 1709 AN proved disastrous for the party. Only 23 seats remain from the previous 78 seats.
