The Butterfly Kingdom is a sovereign kingdom located on the island of Madagascar. The kingdom is inhabited by the majority of the butterfly population on the island, and is lead by the Butterfly King.
History[]
Not much is known of the backstory of the kingdom. The butterflies were a peaceful species when living under the rule of the Butterfly Queen, but she was known to the butterflies as a rather vicious ruler. Despite that, they respected their queen and were loyal to her.
The Butterfly War and the rise of a new monarch[]
The first known contact with the Butterfly Kingdom was when King Julien XIII of neighbouring Kingdom of Madagascar declared war upon their land.
Upon receiving this information, the Butterfly Queen proclaimed war upon the Kingdom of Madagascar, and sent her army of butterflies to strike one of the kingdom's villages, destroying dozens of huts. This marks the start of the Butterfly War.
As the Kingdom of Madagascar recruits the help of an ally, the Rat Kingdom, the butterflies allied with the Crocodile Kingdom who, together with the butterflies, once again attacked the Kingdom of Madagascar in a stronger attack.
After the attack, the rats come up with a plan to capture the Crocodile Ambassador as the leader of the crocodiles, while King Julien calls for peace and invites the butterflies and crocodiles to a peace summit. During the summit, the Butterfly Queen is unexpectedly eaten alive by a carnivorous plant, which King Julien offers to her as a sign of peace, marking the end of her reign.
The butterflies celebrate the death of their ruler, and with the new Butterfly King, and their diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Madagascar are repaired.
Butterfly King's era[]
The Butterfly King was hailed by his kingdom. Some time after his rise to the throne, he married Pam Simonsworthington who became the queen of the kingdom. However, their marriage was later found to be void after she was found to have married four other monarchs. Since polyamory marriage is not legal in their kingdom, she was no longer the queen.
The butterflies were also affected during the War of the Beasts, as their kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Mountain Lemur Kingdom. The butterflies allied with the Kingdom of Madagascar, and supplied their air force during the final battle against the Mountain Lemur Kingdom.
They acknowledged King Julien as the one-true king of the island of Madagascar.
