Mikol I (born Prince Michiel Frederik of Rothenburg; 1 December, 1871 - 17 October, 1949) was High King of the Vozhski from 1916 until his death in 1949. He took the throne of a young Vozhsk nation just three years after its independence from his homeland, the Atmoran Empire. He was invited to the throne after a successful coup against the fledgling Republic by a conspiracy of Atmoraanse settlers, Vozhsk landlords, clergy, and conservative tribal leaders dissatisfied with the socialist orientation of the Republican regime.
Initially expected to be the puppet of the reactionary clique, Mikol proved to be quite independent. He instituted a popular land-reform, endearing him to the peasantry and somewhat dampening the republican sentiments of the countryside as well as reducing the influence of the clique. His reign oversaw the stabilising of the nation, and the beginnings of a modern state. in 1944, he authored a liberal constitution for Vozh, beginning the first era of parliamentary democracy in the country since 1916. This success was short-lived however, as after his death the reactionary movement once again seized power during the reign of his much weaker and less charismatic son, Paul I.
