- In 1500 ST, Jonatela fell under the Ban; because it was disunited at the time, the Ban isolated parts of the Kingdom from each other.
- In 1597 ST, the Timms was freed from the Ban.
- In 1616 ST, Royal Jonatela became free of the Ban. The Prince of Timms refused to submit to the King claiming that the Ban had proven his independence.
- In 1619 ST, the King began seizing castles in Timms to force the submission of its Count.
