James V (Born; James May Ovenden Bientot; 25 September 1895 - 12 September 1951) was King of Angland and leader of the Anglish Empire from 1929 until his death in 1951. Born into the House of Bientot, James was the eldest son of Oliver I and Nieve Brennon of Ledecestershire. He became Crown Prince upon his birth. As a young man he was educated at the Anglish Naval Academy School. During the First World War he and his family were evacuated to Charmelcia as Retoria was bombed by the Imperial League. In 1920 he married Flora Macek and they had three boys; William, George and Harrison. James became king upon the death of his father in early 1929. During the reign of James V Anglish society changed rapidly, the welfare state expanded and as a consequence women entered the work space in the 1960s. Due to rapid modernisation toward the end of his reign and the end of the colonial era demands were brought on James to become a constitutional monarch. James V died in September 1951 leaving the throne to his eldest son, William II.

Birth and Family

The Kraloria Estate, where James was born.

Prince James was born on September the 25th 1895 Kraloria Estate, the Royal Family's estate in Dhuches, Charmelcia, during the reign of his father Oliver I. He was born to Oliver Bientot, son of previous king Paul II. His mother was Nieve Brennon, a member of the Brennon Family of Ledecestershire and descendent of the Sletharine royal family.

He was baptised a month after his birth, in October 1895, at the Stoneleigh Chapel in Retoria. The young prince had 18 godparents, including Lord Pierre Monroe of Vermand and Prince William McDonough of Charmelcia.

James' only sibling, Anne, was born a year after James in 1896. The family moved around during James' early years between residences in Charmelcia, Leamingshire and Retoria. They had a summer residence in Cornkien where the family spent a lot of the summers in James' early life, with his cousins and younger sister. When aged 10 James was made Duke of Leamingshire, one of the largest and most important Anglish counties and historic regions within the Midlands.

Marriage

Prince James and Lady Flora Macek during their wedding, 1920.

James' parents wanted his wedding to be arranged, presenting him with Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Slethar, however the marriage did not go through due to the two not getting along. After this, his parents had him arranged to Duchess Flora Macek of Vermand. They became engaged in 1919 and got married in the Spring of 1920 at the Eastminster Chapel, Retoria. They were related in several ways, both being descendants of Leopold IV of Vermand and Stephen VI of Deselaria. Their wedding was one of the greatest media events during the 1920s, and among guests to their wedding include world leaders of the time and political figures.

Following their wedding, the newly wed couple recieved James II's Palace at Ryton Palace in Ryton County as their secondary residence and Grasston Palace in Cornkien as a summer palace.

Their three sons are:

• William II, born 18th August 1924.
• Prince George, born 1st December 1929.
• Prince Harrison, born 26th July 1930.

Reign

James assumed the regnal name "James V" to emphasise the strong history of kings with that name, as well as wishing to keep his birth name into his royal ascension.
