Madrid was an ancient city on Terra.

It became the Imperial Seat of the First Empire in 14608 BG, after discoveries in America ended the Great Struggle, or the "Century without an Emperor" since the retreat of Byzantium during 15800 BG. This led House Bourbon to become the Imperial House, until its defeat by House Windsor during the Battle of Englichannel in 14512 BG, or 1588 AD in the Old Calendar.
