The 1945 Gelonian Great Council was an convocation of the [[List of Gelonian clans|Gelonian Clans]] to select the form of government of [[Gelonia]], and ultimately served as the only royal election in Gelonian history. It took place at XXXX, in Durnovaria, on 2 May 1945 to 17 May 1945. [[Alan V of Gelonia|Alan Rouanti]] was elected [[Monarchy of Gelonia|King of Gelonia]].

On 12 April 1945, the [[Ascanium Massacre]] occurred in [[Latium]] and resulted in the death of [[Constantine XIX Anicius]] and other members of the [[Latin Imperial Family]], and marked the beginning of the [[Social War]]. At the time, Gelonia was a diocese of Latium under the governorship of [[NAME]], who was unpopular with the local populace. Initially, central government authorities maintained control in Gelonia, but increasingly faced protests and increasingly violent gatherings led by the [[Gelonian National Front|GNF]]. On DATE, Imperial legions clashed with protestors and over 400 individuals were killed. A week later, three of the four legions stationed in Gelonia were recalled to Adrianople to support the Imperial war effort, which resulted in a gradual breakdown of Latin control in the Gelonian diocese.

'''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]].

On DATE, Vicar NAME was recalled from Gelonia by newly proclaimed Empress [[Diana I Anicia]] and he returned to Latium with the sole remaining Gelonian-based legion. The collapse of Latin control in Gelonia resulted in a gathering of the Gelonian clan chiefs, who despite their displacement and lack of involvement in the Latin power structure still maintained a place of honor and status in Gelonian society. On 2 May 1945, chiefs from 187 clans gathered in Durnovaria, at what would become Bodadeg Palace, to hold the first Seanado in over three centuries. The chiefs initially laid out plans for restoring order to the diocese.  
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]].

Despite the Seanado initially setting policy to safeguard Gelonia during the Social War, a number of chiefs began to call for a vote on independence and overthrow of Latin rule in Gelonia. The first vote for independence was held on DATE, but was tabled and later defeated as the chiefs later approved a measure to support the Imperial cause in the Social War in exchange for re-establishing the Seanado and self-government. The courier departed Durnovaria with these terms for Castellum; however, there were never reports that the courier reached Castellum and no Latin response was ever sent back to the Seanado. Due to the lack of response, the Seanado soon voted in favor of independence and the establishment of a Gelonian nation. After four votes, Speaker NAME issued a proclamation for Gelonian independence and ordered any remaining Imperial officials out of "Gelonian lands."

Nearly 15 claimants submitted claims to the Seanado, but only two were seriously considered and referred for a vote, that of [[Ria of Gelonia|Ria Rouanti]] and [[Alan V of Gelonia|Chief Alan Rouanti]]. Both Ria Rouanti and Alan Rouanti were considered the most senior heirs of their shared grandfather, [[Riothamus Rouanti (born 1850|Riothamus Rouanti]]. The claim of Ria Rouanti was considered the senior claim according to primogeniture.

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.
