The '''House of Rahdenburg''' ([[wikipedia:Alemannic German|Gariman]]: ''Haus Rahdenburg''; [[Standard Latin language|Latin]]: ''Domus Radenburgensis'') is a [[Garima|Gariman]] elector dynasty whose members were at times princes, electors, grand dukes, kings, and emperors of Rahden, Rahdenburg, Polnitsa, and Sydalon. The family is believed to have originated from around X, [[Tervingia]], in modern day [[Ostrovaza]]. They took their name from Rahden Castle, from where records indicate the family first ruled as Counts of Rahden before the formation of the [[Holy Audonian Empire]].

'''Constantine, Prince of Youth''' was a [[Latium|Latin]] a Latin prince, and heir apparent to the [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin throne]] as the eldest child and son of [[Maria I Claudia]] and [[Ascanius II Claudius]]. His death is marked by many historians as the end of the [[Latium#Imperial era|classical empire]], and point of no return in downfall of the Claudian dynasty and [[Crisis of the Eleventh Century]]. His line lives on through the descendants of his daughter Constantia who was the second Empress consort of Adrianople.


The family rose to prominence in the years preceding the formation of the [[Garima|Kingdom of Garima]], in which is was created Elector of Rahdenburg during the first expansion of [[Electors of Audonia|Audonian electorates]]. It retained its elector status following departure of the Kingdom of Garima from the [[Holy Audonian Empire]] in 1603. In 1918, the House of Rahdenburg rebelled against the [[Monarchy of Garima|King of Garima]], which led to its eventual attainder and exile. The family primarily resided in [[Latium]] throughout its exile, which ended in 1991 when the order of attainment was lifted by [[Peter II of Garima|King Peter II]] following the marriage of his son then [[Conrad IV of Garima|Conrad, Duke of Silingia]] and [[Margarethe of Rahdenburg]].
Constantine was the eldest son and child of [[Maria I Claudia]] and [[Ascanius II Claudius]], and born during the reign of his grandfather and namesake [[Constantine XIV Claudius]]. He resided in Adrianople with his mother until around 1030 when his mother and father took up a great role at the court of his grandfather. Constantine was proclaimed and anointed as Prince of Youth on his 15th birthday, though the histories frequently refer to him as the Prince of Adrianople until his marriage to Latin noblewoman [[Maria Tarpeia (11th century)|Maria Tarpeia]] in 1039. Constantine and Maria had two children, [[Ascanius II Claudius|Ascanius]] and [[Constantia, Empress of Adrianople|Constantia]]. He was noted for being well liked by the senate, the nobility and common people, and he proved to be a stabilizing figure during the decline of the empire during his mother's reign and particularly following the death of his father, after which Empress Maria's behavior became notably more erratic. Constantine was a skilled military commander, and was frequently dispatched with his legion to end raids or quell revolts in the remaining provinces under Latin control. However, in the limited attributed writings that have survived, Constantine often lamented the frequency in which he was forced to fight his countrymen on his mother's command as high ranking generals had begun proclaiming themselves emperor.

===Order of succession===
On 18 November 1045, Constantine was stopped in Telesia by an auxiliary force loyal to [[Crisis of the Eleventh Century#Barracks Emperors|barracks emperor]] Silvius Manlius, while traveling to push back a Gelonian-Nordic raid in the north. The Prince was ultimately slain the following day during Battle of Telesia. The event is frequently cited by historians as the end of the classical empire and downfall of the [[Claudian dynasty]]. Constantine has since become a near-legendary figure in later writings and Latin folklore, where he is known as '''Prince of Destiny''' (Latin: ''Princeps Fati''). In other legends, typically those originating in western [[Latium]], Constantine is believed to not have died but was spirited away by an angel and will return when called by God to restore the classical empire.

==Polnitsa branch==
The [[Polnitsa|Grand Duchy of Polnitsa]] has historically maintained a close relationship among various Gariman states, eventually being led by successive Gariman-descendend royal houses. The House of Rahdenburg first became tied to the Monarchy of Polnitsa in 1940 following the marriage of [[Sophia I of Polnitsa|Princess Sophia of Polnitsa]] and [[George, Duke of Rahdenburg-Almasch]], the latter of whom was the second son of the last elector in 1918, [[William II, Elector of Rahdenburg|William II]].


Sophia was not expected to succeed her father [[Maximilian II of Polnitsa|Grand Duke Maximilian II]], however the death of her two brothers during the [[1943 Polnitsan Revolution]] resulted in Sophia becoming her father's heir in-exile. Duke George was consort to Sophia during her reign in pretense from 1949 to 1988. By 17 March 1990, their eldest son [[Henry III of Polnitsa|Henry]] became Grand Duke in pretense from his court in exile located in [[Latium]].
The [[2005 Polnitsan War]], known in Polnitsa as the 2005 War of Restoration, resulted in the restoration of the monarchy in Polnitsa and the instalation of Henry as Grand Duke Henry III, becoming the first sovereign ruler of the House of Rahdenburg since Melisende I of Sydalon in 1680.
Henry ruled until his death in December 2014, where he was followed by the brief, yet controversial, reign of his eldest son [[Louis Ferdinand I of Polnitsa|Louis Ferdinand]]. The reign of Louis Ferdinand lasted less than a year when he was overthrown by his eldest son [[Charles I of Polnitsa|Charles]], who himself was Duke of Kostrtiz in the neighboring Garima, and members of the [[National Diet (Polnitsa)|National Diet]] and military high command. The reign of Charles as Grand Duke created a personal union between Polnitsa and the Gariman state of Kostritz, which Charles has ruled since 1993. Charles' heir apparent is [[Frederick, Hereditary Grand Duke of Polnitsa]], who would become Frederick III should he eventually succeed his father as Grand Duke.

The House of Rahdenburg oft had dealings in Sydalon since the crusader kingdom's creation in the 13th century following the First Crusade. However, the family had its first marriage with the royal house through the marriage of the adventurous Albert, Count of Rahdenburg-Ansbach and Elissa, then heir apparent and Princess of Petra. Albert and Elissa had # children, the eldest of whom was Frederick of Rahdenburg-Ansbach, Duke of Diban. Albert was viewed as popular leading up to and during his wife's reign, setting the groundwork for his son Frederick to succeed Elissa II as monarch.
Frederick, Duke of Diban became the first Rahdenburg to succeed to the Petran throne on 2 May 1621. He became King of Sydalon nearly six years later on 11 June 1627, assuming Jordan VI as his regnal name. Overall, the House of Rahdenburg produced three monarchs of Sydalon for a total of 52 years: [[Jordan VI of Sydalon|Jordan VI]], [[Rainier II of Sydalon|Rainier II]], and [[Melisende I of Sydalon|Melisende I]]. The throne later passed to the imperial Latin Aemilia dynasty through the eldest son of Melisende I and her husband Emperor [[Constantine XVII Aemilius]]. While the throne passed to the Aemilia dynasty, Jordan VI and his wife Leonore of Larache had 7 children, including 4 sons. The line of Jordan VI's eldest son Frederick later went on to become the senior line of the House of Rahdenburg with the ascension of Frederick VII as Elector. Frederick himself was Duke of Esebon prior to becoming elector, which he abdicated in favor of his electorate title.

Constantine, Prince of Youth was a Latin a Latin prince, and heir apparent to the Latin throne as the eldest child and son of Maria I Claudia and Ascanius II Claudius. His death is marked by many historians as the end of the classical empire, and point of no return in downfall of the Claudian dynasty and Crisis of the Eleventh Century. His line lives on through the descendants of his daughter Constantia who was the second Empress consort of Adrianople.

Constantine was the eldest son and child of Maria I Claudia and Ascanius II Claudius, and born during the reign of his grandfather and namesake Constantine XIV Claudius. He resided in Adrianople with his mother until around 1030 when his mother and father took up a great role at the court of his grandfather. Constantine was proclaimed and anointed as Prince of Youth on his 15th birthday, though the histories frequently refer to him as the Prince of Adrianople until his marriage to Latin noblewoman Maria Tarpeia in 1039. Constantine and Maria had two children, Ascanius and Constantia. He was noted for being well liked by the senate, the nobility and common people, and he proved to be a stabilizing figure during the decline of the empire during his mother's reign and particularly following the death of his father, after which Empress Maria's behavior became notably more erratic. Constantine was a skilled military commander, and was frequently dispatched with his legion to end raids or quell revolts in the remaining provinces under Latin control. However, in the limited attributed writings that have survived, Constantine often lamented the frequency in which he was forced to fight his countrymen on his mother's command as high ranking generals had begun proclaiming themselves emperor.

On 18 November 1045, Constantine was stopped in Telesia by an auxiliary force loyal to barracks emperor Silvius Manlius, while traveling to push back a Gelonian-Nordic raid in the north. The Prince was ultimately slain the following day during Battle of Telesia. The event is frequently cited by historians as the end of the classical empire and downfall of the Claudian dynasty. Constantine has since become a near-legendary figure in later writings and Latin folklore, where he is known as Prince of Destiny (Latin: Princeps Fati). In other legends, typically those originating in western Latium, Constantine is believed to not have died but was spirited away by an angel and will return when called by God to restore the classical empire.
