Johanna VII Josepha (31 June 1719 – 8 May 1761), known as Johanna the Great (Johanna die Grosse), was the first female ruler of the Sunrosian Monarchy and the last from the House of Windeneim. The eldest child of George III Frederick and Catherine of Schwarzberg, she succeeded her younger brother George IV Augustus after his death in the Battle of Gwithian on 31 June 1719, during the Ten Years' War. Taking the regnal name of Johanna, and ordinals in continuation of previous monarchs, she was officially coronated as Grand Duke of Sunrosia (Joanna Magni dux Sunrosiæ).
Johanna asserted her claim to the throne through the idea of proximity of blood, rather than the traditional male-preference primogeniture. She was uncontestedly recognised as monarch by the constituent realms of the Sunrosian Monarchy only after the Johannine Expeditions of 1719–1720. Following victory in the Ten Years' War, she personally attended the Congress of Cislania, where she traded part of expected territorial gains in favour of war reparations and increasing autonomy from the Confederation, allowing her to consolidate the disparate constituents of the Monarchy. Along with its military prowesses during the war, this would cement Sunrosia's newfound position as a great power and mark the beginning of the Sunrosian Ascendency.
