Upon her mother's ascension to the throne, she became Princess of Ghailles and [[Peerage of Glytter|Duchess of Snarksburgh]] in 1907. The Princess Ellen studied briefly at the University of Spálgleann and enlisted in the [[Glytteronian Army]] as a mechanic at the age of eighteen.

Soon into her reign, the Estmerish navy [[Occupation of Glytter|occupied Glytter]] under an agreement made with the Ua Buachalla Government. The occupation began on 10 March 1927, just over two weeks before her coronation, and was entirely peaceful. However, nearly a year later the Estmerish military transferred the occupation to that of the [[Federation of Asteria]], which would last until the end of the war in February of 1935. Unlike the occupation by Estermish forces, the Asterian occupation was marred by serve violence and resulted in the [[Quasi-War]]. Ellen II was looked to as a calming force throughout the duration of the conflict and was revered because of her poise.
