Richard II was King of Vionna-Frankenlisch and Frankenlischian Emperor from August of 1897 to November of that same year.
Richard was the eldest child of Queen Caroline and her consort Prince Quentin of Edrington. He was a well-loved figure in Vionna-Frankenlisch and a stalwart companion to his mother during her long reign. Often unwell, a muscular condition left him in a wheelchair for the last four years of his life and sickness claimed him only three months into his reign. Despite his popular approval, he was disliked by traditionalists in government for his progressive views and by liberals for his support of greater monarchical powers. He formed a lifelong friendship with Lord Vauxhall, who founded the Imperial Party, and the two were strong political allies.
During his brief reign, Richard laid the foundations for the modern Imperial Navy and was instrumental in securing political support for the huge expansions which would take place in the years following his death. He maintained good relations with many of the Cornellian powers but remained an ardent Adiraphobe his whole life, contributing to the tensions which brought Vionna-Frankenlisch and Adiron on opposing sides of the Great Cornellian War. Though not renowned as a patron of the arts, he opened a number of galleries and theatres while he was Duke of Grythshead and was a keen follower of the Grythshead Duchy Cricket League and supporter of Frankenlisch Martime FC, then called Imperial Navy AFC.
His marriage with Ysolda of Wolfswood produced no children. King Richard died on 12th November 1897 from ill health and was succeeded by his brother Albert, who ruled as King Alexander II.
