A war fought 9 years before the events of Suikoden 1.

Barbarossa was overthrown by Geil Rugner, who lost his rightful position as Emperor to his brother (Barbarossa's father) and sought to regain it while Barbarossa was away from the capital. Using bribery and that sort of thing he convinced the upper folk to support him and he declared himself Emperor.

Barbarossa retaliated and gathered those loyal to him (those primarily being the Five Generals in Suikoden 1, sans Sonya plus Georg Prime) to defeat Geil Rugner. With Mathiu and soon, Leon Silverberg's help, Barbarossa was able to defeat his uncle and take back his position as Emperor.
