Lom Kingdom

The Lom Kingdom (: ລົມອານາຈັກ; Lom Anachak) was an independent kingdom in present-day Lomtai. It was proclaimed on Parwol 29, 1401 by Empress Noelokainani of the Noelokainani dynasty. The kingdom remained a sovereign state until 1876 when the Republic of Lom succeeded the kingdom.

Before the proclamation of the Lom Kingdom an mass uprising against the uprising the Majestic monarchy led to the steady and eventual collapse of the Majestic Kingdom. In 1392 the Noelokainani clan usurped the monarchy though a new kingdom wouldn't be proclaimed until 1401 when then princess Noekainani was crowned empress, and founded the Lom Kingdom. Fourteen years into her reign, Empress Noelokainani initiated military reforms, and annexed southern Lomtai. By 1420 the Imperial Lom Army invaded southeast Suwannaphum and southwest Wa Muong. Due to Bangkok wars causing the collapse of the Noelokainani dynasty, the Uthong clan took hold of the government and founded a new dynasty. The Lom Kingdom's history is marked by mass expansion, adoption and submission to Suwannaphumese culture, as the Lom Kingdom adopted the Suwannaphumese writing system in the late seventeenth century.
