Elissa IV (Berenice Elissa Hanna Jordana Belandra; 17 May 1912 – 10 August 1975) was Queen of Sydalon from 1946 until her death in 1975. She became queen during the Elysian coup, in which she deposed her older brother William and seized the throne with support from the Sydalene nobility, and failed in her attempts to seize the thrones of Garza and Ascalzar. Elissa is a controversial figure in Catholic Belisaria and led to what became known as the Sydalene exile, in which Elissa was excommunicated by Pope Pontian X from 1948 to 1950 and many Catholic nations severed ties with Sydalon. Elissa led Sydalon to a strong relationship with Garima and Sante Reze, and through the Third and Fourth West Scipian Wars, which ultimately culminated in the signing of the Yarden Accords. Elissa's role in the peace agreement was met with controversy in Sydalon, and ultimately led to her assassination in 1975.
