Augustus I (Augustus Alexander Reich, 18 July 1708 - 6 February 1752) was King of Aquitayne from 27 September 1734 to his death in 1752.
Augustus was born under the rule of the Empire of Exponent while Aquitayne was a colonial holding. Three years after his birth, Augustus was taken by Caesar I as a hostage, being the only living direct paternal descendent of the line of monarchs from before the House Kon'rei seized the throne in 1653. Augustus would escape his captors in 1728 after a ceremony by which he would swear fealty to the Exponents and renounce his family and claim on the throne had been scheduled. As a young man, he would travel through Teudallum and visit Nikolia and Great Nortend in an effort to garner support for Aquitaynian revolution back home. It was there, in 1733, that he would meet and marry his wife Anne-Louise of Great Nortend.
Augustus' rule would oversee the successful campaign of independence for his people and the rebuilding of a nation whose identity had been forgotten. Augustus personally oversaw the recreation of parliament, the establishment of the judicial system, as well as continuing the recreation of a standing professional army. Augustus gained notoriety for his merciless treatment of Kon'rei nobles in the years after the revolution. He decreed the heads of the family to be exiled to Cape Town, while the ones directly responsible for the oppression and maltreatment of his family and the people were summarily executed immediately after the Treaty of Wennavua. No Kon'rei that left mainland Aquitayne would step foot back home until his death in 1752.
Augustus died in the night on 6 February 1752, due to unknown causes. Rumors and legend have argued he was poisoned, bitten by a venomous snake in his sleep, or suffocated. After news of his death spread, the nation entered a three month period of mourning. He was succeeded by his son, George I.
