History
Family and Compacts 1814-1836

Braun and the Invictus of Toronto always assumed that Prater and the good Bishop worked for the same person, Henry Lange. This suspicion lasted throughout the relationship that grew between the two Covenants. Through the Family Compact, a group comprised of the wealthiest York residents and ardent Anglicans, the Invictus supported by the Lancea Sanctum, were able to create a social structure based upon the rigid class structure of England through the parceling of lands to individuals sympathetic to the Invictus agenda.

Like the Jetter lineage, the Quentin lineage found their fortunes favored the New World, as their strength eroded in France, they shifted focus towards Quebec and the new allies needed in Canada to buttress their failing power. Both in need of allies, Yvonne Dorat and Matthew Braun turned to each other building a bridge between the Invictus of Toronto and Montreal through the partnership of the Family Compact and the Chateau Clique. Together they reasoned their respective courts would be able to keep the American Carthian movement from penetrating into the country. Working in tandem the Invictus seized control over the entire region.

With power consolidated the Invictus and their new allies erected the infrastructure that transformed York from the outpost colony and fort it once was, to the suggestion of the city it would come. By 1825 both the Toronto General Hospital and the Bank of Upper Canada were opened. King’s College which would later become the University of Toronto was opened in 1827. Enrolment allowed for students of any denomination to attend, a concession made by the Lancea Sanctum on behalf of Vincent Andersen, who while a staunch member of the Invictus had seemingly picked up some of the Carthian beliefs to the south.
