Elizabeth (Elisabeth Visenna Marie Louise Alexandra; 17 December 1870 − 11 September 1931) was High Queen of Atmora and Queen of Lieseltania from 5 August 1904 until her assassination on 11 September 1931. Elisabeth was the seventh and last Queen of Vosha, following the end of the Vosha Protectorate on 18 September 1913.
Born during the height of the Atmoran Golden Age and the reign of grandmother High Queen Juliette-Alexandra in 1855, to Frederick-Alexander, Prince of Wolf and Eleanora, Princess of Wolf, and was second in line to the succession to the Atmoran throne at time of her birth. Following the death of her grandmother Juliette-Alexander, her father succeeded to the Atmoran throne as High King, with her father in an investiture ceremony at Castle Wolf made her Princess of Wolf in July 1887. Following her father's death in August 1904, she succeeded her father to the thrones of Atmora and Lieseltania.
Her reign as High Queen marked the end of the Atmoran Golden Age with a series of colonial revolutions marking the end of the Atmoran Colonial Empire. Seeking to appease the Mizuhese nobility calls for home rule, Chancellor Michiel Rengers de Bruguière convened the Imperial Conference of 1905. In which the Imperial Conference reformed the Atmoran colonial holdings granting more home rule for Mizuho, Myria, Ghelen and the Vosha. While the reforms where favourable to Mizuho, Myria, and Ghelen, the Imperial Conference did not meet any of the demands of Vosha. Many Voshans saw the Voshan People's Council as not enough, as it was only an advisory council to the Governor-General. Elisabeth's reign saw the failed suppression of the Vozhsk Autumn Revolution in October 1911, igniting the Second Voshan War. As Chancellor Mattijs Klement, rescinded the promises made by Chancellor Olivier S. Kievitsbosch in 1909 to allow for Vosha to elect a native Prime Minister and the formation of a Voshan Parliament. Elisabeth signed the Treaty of Lechtenstad in September 1913, granting the independence of Vozh and Atmoran Vosha being reduced to few "Treaty Towns".
She's best known for her numerous public work projects within Atmora, with numerous architectural and cultural buildings built in her reign. Along with her approval in July 1916 to send the Royal Marines to Vozh to back a reactionary coup by Atmoran Boers in Vozh, crowning her cousin Prince Michiel of Rothenburg as High King of the Vozhsky. Elisabeth was assassinated along with her son, sister, and nephew in the 1931 September crisis by the Young Voshans leaving Atmora in a state of political turmoil.
