It is said in The Magician's Nephew that the second son of King Frank, the first king of Narnia, became the first king of Archenland; Aslan himself had decreed Archenland's existence to Frank before he took the throne. Archenland's formation is uncertain, and was believed to be under Narnian rule; but it constitutes a separate country at the time of King Col of Archenland (180 years after Narnia's creation).
