Coup of 1809

The Coup of 1809 was a coup in Brunant in June 1809. It led the dismissal of David James Carrington as President and the installment of Walter van der Ecke.

History
James Carrington was named President following his invasion of Brunant in 1784. After his death in 1802, his son David James Carrington succeeded him to the presidency. After the Coup of 1800, Ambroos I was king, and the young Carrington's reign was unstable and weak.

With the support of the reformists and monarchists, led by Walter van der Ecke and Frans Jordens, Ambroos tried to sideline Carrington. He already wrote a constitution and installed the Congress in 1802, which led to a decline in presidential powers.

In June 1809, the members of the representatives voted to remove Carrington from office. Ambroos then appointed van der Ecke as President, who would serve until his death in 1838.
