Arthur I was King of the Anglish Empire and Protector of the Realm, Grand Duke of Eisenland from 1619 to 1653, King of Vetullia from 1604 to 1653 and Duke of West Vermandia from 1601 to 1644 as well as Lord of Suidenland as as titular Duke of Klokov from 1606 to 1633. Arthur was born in the Lower Desselands of Eisen to Vieri prince Philip of Leone (Son of Robert III of Angland and Mary of Almagria) and Odilia of Maino, middle child of Isabella I and Ferdinand II of Basilio (King and Queen of Vetullia). The ultimate heir of his four grandparents, Arthur inherited all of his family dominions at a young age. After the death of his father Philip in 1600, he inherited some Anglish and Desselandic states originally held by his paternal grandmother Mary. In 1601 his grandfather Robert III of Angland died and Arthur inherited the throne, becoming King of the Anglish Empire. Along with the Anglish crown came it's colonial territories and possesions as well as the position as Duke of West Vermandia. In 1604 he became the King of Vetullia follownig the death of Ferdinand II as well as the Vetullian overseas territories in Barnesia and Tarandra and in Leciria. Finally, he inherited the position as Grand Duke of the Duchy of Eisenland in 1619 following the death of his uncle and he was elected as head. He adopted the imperial name as King Arthur (Angland) or Emperor Artur (Parthenian politics), styling himself on the legend of King Arthur. Arthur revitalized the medieval concept of universal monarchy. Although his empire came to him peacefully as inheritances from strategic marriages, he spent most of his life waging war, exhausting his own royal revenues and leaving debts to his successors in his attempt to defend the integrity of his holdings from the Protestant Reformation and a series of wars between Vetullia and Vermand. The personal union between the Parthenian and global colonial holdings gave Arthur the title of the first to rule over a collection of realms labelled "the empire on which the sun never sets". Historians consider Arthur as one of the most influential and powerful men in history. (See more...)
