King Tommen I (b; 17 August 1683 d; 11 April 1697) was King of the Angles and Protector of the Realm. A member of the House of Vieri, he was the eleventh and final ruler of the dynasty and the younger brother of Eric I, often known as Eric the Harsh, and son of king Robert IV. His reign began during a difficult time following the poisoning of his elder brother who had left Angland in a poor state due to his lavish spending and harsh ruling, leaving Tommen to rule a nation aged only 12 in 1695.

Early Life

Prince Tommen Vieri was born in the summer of 1683 as the second born son of Robert IV and Allison Ecclestark. He was born in an unknown location within the city of Retoria, likely in an estate house or a private hospital. Little attention was placed on Tommen by the public in his earlier years, with his elder brother Eric held up as heir to the throne and Tommen cast aside with no hope of becoming king. Early maestors that spent time around the boys commented on Tommen's temperament described as being much more polite and quiet than his older brother who seemed to be power hungry and spoiled with ideas of ruling.
