King Edward III was King of Vionna-Frankenlisch and Grand Imperiator from March 1980 to his death on the 13th of January, 2012. He rose to power following the War of Restoration and was succeeded by his nephew, James.

Edward was born in Frankenlisch as the second child of the reigning monarch King Albert and Queen Irena and he was educated at court and later at the University of Issenburg. His father was killed in 1967 during the Imperial Civil War making Edward's older brother, George, the rightful monarch. The remaining members of the royal family lived in exile until 1980 when the monarchy was restored in the War of Restoration. Edward was Earl of Westonland at the time and married to Princess Anna of Germana, he quickly ascended to the throne when his brother, George and his wife were killed in the Poix Palace Massacre.

Edward reigned for almost thirty-two years and saw great change during his reign. He was a leader very much concerned with the economic and social wellbeing of his people but did not hesitate to go to war in defence of, what he saw to be, the interests of Vionna-Frankenlisch and the monarchy. He led Vionna-Frankenlisch into the Prodavan Sovereignty Crisis and took personal command of Vionna-Frankenlischian forces during Operation Featherweight, during which he was wounded in the fighting. Recognised as a well-respected and even loved ruler, Edward still faced Republican sentiment and kept his cool, standing up for the powers of the Vionna-Frankenlischian monarchy. He refused to remarry after the death of his wife, Anna von Luxembourg, and was succeeded by his nephew, James.
