Emperor Alberto I, commonly called Don Alberto, was the first Emperor of the Imperial State of Cárinansia, serving in the position for 14 years until his death aged 49 while leading his men into battle. His oldest son, Alberto “Chaparro” was coronated months later at the age of 13.
Early Life
Born in what was then-known as Colonia Iulia Gemella Acci as Sextus Voteporix Gaius, the tenth child of esteemed military general Nonus Voteporix Gaius and a direct descendant of previous Arcadian emperors, he was a member of the country's aristocratic class from the beginning. As the tenth child of the family, he received little attention and was not groomed for any major leadership positions. He received schooling until he reached 16 years of age, after which point he declined to pursue any more.
Inheritance of Viscountcy of Ipudorm
As the first son following three daughters born to his father's third wife, Lilian de Galán, he became the closest living male relative to Marius Julius Numerius, 5th Viscount of Ipudorm following the death of all other male descendants born before 1811 and his death in 1819. Receiving the position at 27 years old, he moved to the Viscount Manor in the city only weeks later.
Reign
After successfully repelling all Arcadian forces from both Lekeadia and all territory south of La Plata with the success of the Battle of Cidad Heiro on 14 June 1827, he quickly moved for the Cathedral of Nuestra Merced Santa Maria, where he was coronated Emperor of Cárinansia two days later at midday upon arriving, officially establishing the new Imperial State of Cárinansia. Despite this, no peace treaty had yet been signed with Arcadia until two years later in Seoyang.
As a descendant of a previous Arcadian Emperor, he felt little need to legitimise his rule throughout his reign, but he felt urged to expand Cárinansian influence, beginning the first of a series of wars with Arcadia to establish their colonies under Cárinansian suzerainty. In the 1829-1835 War of Guarteixo, he managed to successfully establish the Kingdom of Aparicia, with his son Enrique as King. It is here where the first predecessor concepts to the Hakisphere emerged, at the time called ‘Arecár’, a term still sometimes used by residents of the Valorán states.
At the conclusion of the War, he formally made peace with Arcadia and received their recognition of his Imperial title, in exchange for a non aggression pact that was to last 99 years. It was broken only 7 years later by an Arcadian attempt to annex Lekeadia, though it was ultimately repelled by the Imperial Lekeadian Army under the authority of a young Alberto II.
