Charlotte ; Charlotte Elisabeth Marie; (5 August 1854 - 27 September 1939) was Queen of Besmenia and the last Besmenian monarch from 1899 until the abolition of the monarchy by the BNU government under Karl Ochsenbein in 1930.
She reigned for almost 31 years, making her the second longest-reigning monarch in the Kingdom of Besmenia, after her grandfather Friedrich I who reigned from 1821 until 1862. Her reign saw the Besmenian Civil War (1918-1920), the early days of the Besmenian division and the 1929 West Besmenian coup attempt.
Charlotte and the Besmenian royal family left the country on May 17, 1930 under pressure from the Karl Ochsenbein's government. With the proclamation of the Besmenian Empire on May 19th, Charlotte was officially deposed and the monarchy in West Besmenia ended. She lived out the rest of her life in exile in Oskarsviik, Greater Normark, where she died in 1939. The West Besmenian BNU government imposed an entry ban on May 20, 1930 on all members of the Besmenian royal family.
