==Early Life and education==
[[File:Diana Augusta and her son Jason-1960s.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Jacobus as a child accompanied by his mother in 1966.]]Jacobus was born at the Palace of Augustus, in Castellum, the second child and first son of [[Diana I Anicia|Empress Diana I Ancicia]] and her husband [[Leo X Claudius|Leo Claudius, Duke of Adrianople]] on 15 December 1962. Upon his birth he automatically took the titles [[Monarchy of Latium#Titles of the heir apparent|Duke of Galata]], [[Monarchy of Latium#Titles of the heir apparent|Duke of Velia]],  He was baptized at [[Sancta Sapientia]] in Castellum, and invested as Prince of Youth on Christmas Day in 1962. His godparents were [[Michael Claudius (born 1903)|Michael Claudius]] (his father's uncle); [[Prince Theophylactus, Duke of Ossonoba]] (his mother's uncle); [[Princess Zoe, Duchess of Haenna]] (his mother's sister); and [[Anna Claudia]] (his father's aunt). He was also given the title ''Imperator Destinatus''. He is named for his paternal grandfather [[Jacobus Claudius, Duke of Adrianople]].
Jacobus was primarily raised in Castellum, at the Palace of Augustus, though regularly traveled between Castellum, Ascanium, and Adrianople with his family. He and his sister [[Isabella of Latium|Princess Isabella]] were the first members of the [[Monarchy of Latium|Imperial Family]] to attend formal schooling, though both were tutored by a private {{wp|governess}} until the age of thirteen. Jacobus attended Lyceum Sanctus Michaelis through secondary school, though spent the 1978 at Pescia Academy in Adrianople. During secondary school, Jacobus participated in the schools football program, also partaking was an avid golfer. It was in secondary school that he met his future first wife, [[Stephania Pinaria]].
[[File:Prince Albert and Grace Kelly 1972.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Jacobus with his mother [[Diana Augusta]] at the [[Ludi Circenses|1977 Ludi Circenses]].]]
After completing secondary school, he enrolled at [[Academia Militaris Olympia]], and joined in the [[Latin Armed Forces|Latin military]], for his tertiary education. Before attending Olympia, Jacobus spent a gap year traveling Belisaria. While at Olympia, he participated with the university's golf team for one year. He resided in cadet housing at Olympia and roomed with his cousin [[Bolvar Dain]]. He graduated in 1983 and earned a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Jacobus did not actively serve in the [[Latin Army]] after graduation as is customary of Olympia students. He became the first Latin heir apparent, and later first Emperor, to earn a university degree.
==Pre-reign political activities==
Prior to his ascension, Jacobus was gradually appointed more and more duties as heir by his mother. Rumors in Castellum were that his father's health was in a weakened state. These rumors further persisted when Jacobus began to fill in for his father on appearances and state functions. In an effort to combat the rumors, Jacobus was sent to Caetota where he primarily served as Count of Sasora from 1988 to 1991. In June 1991, Jacobus was recalled to Castellum, when concerns of his mother's health began to arose after reports that she underwent surgery. He attended his first session of the [[Senate of Latium|Senate]] on 22 September 1996, much to the surprise of then [[Praesus Senatus]] [[Justinus Seius]]. Seius commented that Jacobus's attendance was <nowiki>"rather odd, though not unwelcome."</nowiki> Later after Seius was removed from office by Jacobus, members of Seius' faction revealted that Praeses Senatus Seius was vocal in party meetings at his displeasure at Jacobus's regular visits to the Senate and sitting in on sessions directing the Senate.
===Mesazon of Perateia===
Following his tenure as Count of Sasora, Jacobus was named Mesazon of Perateia on 9 July 1991. He immediately relocated his family to the [[Perateia]], taking up residence at [[Monarchy of Perateia#Residences|Heraion]]. As Mesazon, Jacobus served as head of government and effective head of state as viceroy of Perateia. Jacobus's court came to an end in February 1997 as rumors of his mother's health began to spread. Of the end of his time in [[Perateia]], Jacobus said, <nowiki>"It's not something you like to think about. I've greatly enjoyed my time here, and for it to end, and especially on such sudden terms is disappointing."</nowiki>
==Reign==
===Coronation Controversy===
Following the death of his father, Jacobus was elevated to co-monarch by his mother, on 29 July 1993, jointly reigning until 1 January 2000. While he was acclaimed by the Senate the following day, his coronation as sole emperor was held on 25 December 2000, which took place at [[Sancta Sapientia]]. The event was plagued by controversy, as reports leaked officials within the imperial household pushed to have the event televised, causing a rage among the clergy and senate. The situation was further inflamed when it was leaked a week that a court official was negotiating with a number of television networks to host the event, drawing ire from the RAL. Jacobus released a public statement stating that <nowiki>"[these rumors] are exactly that, rumors. There are no plans to televise my coronation...it simply will not occur."</nowiki> His coronation was not televised.
===Early reign and senate crises===
The first legislative act signed by Jacobus as sole emperor was the One Man, One Woman Act of 1997. It was signed on 15 September 1997, and outlawed any attempt by county officials to allow same-sex marriage, however he never stated whether he personally supported or was against the bill. It wasn't until 1998 that Jacobus began to further assert himself into the political process, the first instance to deny assent to a legislative act of the Senate which would have privatized the [[Imperial Health System (Latium)|Imperial Health System]]. The action by Jacobus was widely supported by opposition parties in the Senate, also resulting in a large spike in his personal popularity.
It wasn't until the Group of Ten scandal, which was brought to light and exposed by journalists from the RAL News, that Jacobus first began to more actively insert himself into governmental politics. Following the media reports, he promptly ordered an investigation into the matter, which resulted in arrest warrants being issued for Praeses Senatus Seius, Energy Primicarius Lucceia, among other members of Omnes officlas. Senator Jordana Lucceia was found dead in her office and her death ruled a suicide by police and medical examiners. The news of Lucceia's suicide prompted Jacobus to issue pardons for the remaining members of the leadership, but with the caveat that they were ineligible from participating in elections or public life for the remainder of their lives.
Jacobus appointed [[Antonius Tullius]] as Praeses Senatus who presided over a unity faction led by Populares and a number of Omnes defectors. The appointment of Tullius led to 18 consecutive years of a Populares controlled senate.
===Second decade===
The second decade of Jacobus's reign continued with the elected government being dominated by the [[Progressive Party of Latium|Progressive Party]] and the 13 year consulship of [[Constantine Otacilius]]. During this period, Jacobus and government promulgated a number of new laws and reforms, most notably the Welfare Reform Acts of 2006, the Healthcare Reform and Revitalization Act of 2002, and had attempted local government reform. The most controversial action of this period was the loosening of restrictions on abortions, and allowed for the activity under certain restrictions. Jacobus had originally threatened to withhold Imperial assent, though would later sign the measure into law after an amendment was added to prevent state funds from being used for procedures.
On 9 March 2011, his cousin [[Maria Tarpeia]] and leader of the Populares faction gained the Senate majority, and Jacobus appointed her the first female Latin Praeses Senatus. The new senate leadership saw further deterioration in Jacobus' relationship with church authorities as the Conservative government repeatedly attempted to push through hardline conservative measures, causing Jacobus to withhold assent from a number of senate approved legislation. He would eventually sign into law the Morality Acts, though sources inside the Domus Aureum stated that <nowiki>"the Emperor has severe reservations,"</nowiki> and the law was never actively enforced.
===Conflicts with the Church===
Throughout his reign, Jacobus had a number of difficulties with the church, which strained Latium's relationship with the [[Pope of the Fabrian Catholic Church|Pope]] and [[Fabria]].
==Personal Life==
Growing up, Jacobus VI Claudius was an avid athlete. At age 6 he began playing organized football, and took up golf a year later. While at Olympia, played for the school's football team, initially under the pseudonym Michael Kontostefanos. He would participate on the school's football team for four months until it was leaked to the press he was participating. He later participated on Olympaia's golf team
===Marriage and issue===
Jacobus had his first public relationship in these years, when it was officially stated after weeks of speculation that he was dating his future first wife, [[Stephania Pinaria]]. The two were wed in 1987 and had three children: Maria, Constantine, and Selene.

The action by Jacobus was widely supported by opposition parties in the Senate, also resulting in a large spike in his personal popularity.

It wasn't until the Group of Ten scandal, which was brought to light and exposed by journalists from the RAL News, that Jacobus first began to more actively insert himself into governmental politics. Following the media reports, he promptly ordered an investigation into the matter, which resulted in arrest warrants being issued for Praeses Senatus Seius, Energy Primicarius Lucceia, among other members of Omnes officlas. Senator Jordana Lucceia was found dead in her office and her death ruled a suicide by police and medical examiners. The news of Lucceia's suicide prompted Jacobus to issue pardons for the remaining members of the leadership, but with the caveat that they were ineligible from participating in elections or public life for the remainder of their lives.

Jacobus appointed Antonius Tullius as Praeses Senatus who presided over a unity faction led by Populares and a number of Omnes defectors. The appointment of Tullius led to 18 consecutive years of a Populares controlled senate.

Second decade

The second decade of Jacobus's reign continued with the elected government being dominated by the Progressive Party and the 13 year consulship of Constantine Otacilius. During this period, Jacobus and government promulgated a number of new laws and reforms, most notably the Welfare Reform Acts of 2006, the Healthcare Reform and Revitalization Act of 2002, and had attempted local government reform. The most controversial action of this period was the loosening of restrictions on abortions, and allowed for the activity under certain restrictions. Jacobus had originally threatened to withhold Imperial assent, though would later sign the measure into law after an amendment was added to prevent state funds from being used for procedures.

On 9 March 2011, his cousin Maria Tarpeia and leader of the Populares faction gained the Senate majority, and Jacobus appointed her the first female Latin Praeses Senatus. The new senate leadership saw further deterioration in Jacobus' relationship with church authorities as the Conservative government repeatedly attempted to push through hardline conservative measures, causing Jacobus to withhold assent from a number of senate approved legislation. He would eventually sign into law the Morality Acts, though sources inside the Domus Aureum stated that "the Emperor has severe reservations," and the law was never actively enforced.

Conflicts with the Church

Throughout his reign, Jacobus had a number of difficulties with the church, which strained Latium's relationship with the Pope and Fabria.

Personal Life

Growing up, Jacobus VI Claudius was an avid athlete. At age 6 he began playing organized football, and took up golf a year later. While at Olympia, played for the school's football team, initially under the pseudonym Michael Kontostefanos. He would participate on the school's football team for four months until it was leaked to the press he was participating. He later participated on Olympaia's golf team

Marriage and issue

Jacobus had his first public relationship in these years, when it was officially stated after weeks of speculation that he was dating his future first wife, Stephania Pinaria. The two were wed in 1987 and had three children: Maria, Constantine, and Selene.
