Thanks!

I don’t remember if there is more history of the name given in this history article or not, but for those who might be interested, here is a Florilegium article on the History of the lilies War.
Lilies-Wr-Hst-art(155K)"Lilies Wars - A completely unofficial history" by Valens of Flatrock. (I-XI)
