John I (7 March 1718 — 25 December 1800), also known as Johan I, was the last King of Oanthan, reigning between 1741 and 1743, and subsequently the first King of Charville from 1743 until his death in 1800. His succession to the latter post was finalised by his marriage to Queen Amka of Distan, uniting the monarchies of Oanthan and Distan and placing the two nations under a central government, replacing the diarchy that had ruled Charville since the 1702 unification. John ruled jointly alongside Amka; although they de jure shared the same amount of power, John exercised most of the political authority out of the two, much to the annoyance of the Distani nobility.
