From my own era, the fleeting victory of Duke Jonathan Altus over the might of the Ardougnian Knights with a mere five men of his own might be newsworthy. A good story of the underdog always gets the crowds in.

Aside from that, there's the Eyvindi Provinces, which were ruled from Lumbridge and constituted a reasonably sized Grand Duchy on the southern coast of Gielinor, ruled by Grand Duke Eyvind (of House Rovin).

The occupation of Lumbridge and Draynor by the Blood Empire which forces Queen Kanna into exile and was only lifted after Russia was driven from his own throne.

I also believe Lumbridge briefly served as the capital of the Sarimian Empire, before the capital moved back into Asgarnia as it reformed into the Holy Asgarnian Empire.

The fact Zaox Le'Gaunt was Duke of Lumbridge would probably also be worth mentioning. I've got a feeling Lucas Elysian was also Duke once, and he fathered Prince Caden with Katrina.
