King Albert I of Vionna-Frankenlisch was the 7th Monarch of Vionna-Frankenlisch and reigned from the death of his father in 1933 to his own death in 1967 at the Battle of Parliament Square during the Imperial Civil War. His reign was followed by the Red Decade and the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Vionna-Frankenlisch under Marshall Howell.

Early Life

Albert was in St Kaspar's Hospital, the infirmary of Frankenlisch Castle, on the 14th of September, 1918. He was the first child of the reigning King Alexander II and his second wife, Georgia Kimberly-Wilton. He was named fully "Albert Frederick William George" and initiated into the Frankenlischian Andyist Church with the blessing of Michael II on the 10th of October. King Alexander was excited to have been given a son but expressed regret that it was not by Phạm Nguyên Thanh Hằng, his first wife. Queen Georgia was elated and Sir Phillip Robinson, the Royal Physician, reported that she had been "Spared a troublesome childbirth and was well-attended by birthmaids. His Imperial Majesty stayed by the Queen's side during the birth."

Albert was a strong child and active, taking part in sports from a young age, much to the delight of his father. He was brave and did not back down from fights but was not a rowdy child. In fact, even King Alexander admitted that, "It's hard to believe sometimes that he is my son, he is so docile." Emperor Karl II of Wolfswood, a cousin of King Alexander who was often seen at court after the Great Europan War was over, commented: "The young man is much like his father, he is strong and athletic and he is fierce when other children try to fight him. But he lacks the King's belligerence. It is as if he has no interest in fighting except when it is a necessity, I think he will be a wise ruler."
