    The Age of Expansion: 1669 - 1760

    At his death in 1669, Sigismund VI left to his son, Heinrich V (1669-1677) a Kingdom consolidated in its fundamental structures, now enjoying a cultural and artistic renaissance, and ready to develop itself further.
    The eight years of reign of Heinrich were devoted to the consolidation of these achievements, and they saw no significant changes from the Sigismundian Period.
    The event which really inaugurated a new era was the ascension to the throne of the young son of the King, Heinrich VI (1677-1715): and from 1677 the historians consider the beginning of the so-called Heinrichian Period, indeed.
    It was the moment when the Kingdom of Tarajan, after having gained its own "right to existence" from the successful overcoming of the domestic and foreign challenges (and, particularly, from the omnipresent influence of Antanares), finally emerged as a completely independent creature, with its own unique political, economic and cultural heritage.
    Although his activity in support of arts, culture, education and architecture is surely notable, Heinrich VI is better known for his promotion of the expansion of Tarajani trade and for the consequent strengthening of the navy.
    From 1677 to 1680, in sole three years, the number of vessels produced in the docks of Alleskandberg and Merlberg (the two main ports of the Kingdom) almost quadruples.
    In 1681 the Shraman Islands, until that moment still fragmented in three independent Duchies, were unified, and annexed to the Kingdom. It was during this event that, for the first time, the interests of the rising Tarajani Kingdom and the powerful Antanaresian trade companies came to conflict with each other.
    However, in this case the conflict did not explode, thanks to the concession, made by the King, to leave the privileges of the Antanaresian merchants untouched.
    In 1682, a group of Tarajani traders of Alleskandberg founded the Tarajani East Trade Company (OHC, Oosten Handel Compagnie), which soon became the main supporter of the future activities of exploration and colonization. Indeed, it was the Company which funded the foundation of the first three official Tarajani trade posts outside the continent, in Meisjegronden (the future Groenestadt, in 1684), in Duresia (1689) and in Ashar (1690).
    From these three bases, the vessels of the Company further expanded their activities: in 1699, the Company thus obtained a Royal Charter, giving it quasi-governmental powers.
    In 1700, the beginning of the new century was marked by the expeditions of the Abel Van Tasman (1670-1722), a young captain of the Company, who was the first Tarajani to discover Ienara (1700-01), thus marking the beginning of the economic penetration of the Shogunate by Tarajan.
