George I (8 December 1789-23 October 1834) was the first King of Bruxenburg, reigning from his coronation in 1811 to his death in 1834.
He was born in 1789, the son of William, Duke of Marthasey, the Anglian consul in Labradoria and son of King William V of Great Anglia, and Cornelia von Ausburg, granddaughter of Leopold II of Habstria. He was raised in Elizabeth House in Crownsland in Labradoria, before being sent to Anglia in 1799 to be educated in the Royal palace. There he would gain a military education, as well as diplomatic training for a life in service, as King Bruce II of Great Anglia hadn't yet bore a child and George was a senior male heir, third in line to the throne. However, in 1803 his uncle, Prince George, bore a son, lessening any chance of George inheriting the Anglian throne. With no prospects for the throne, George became an officer in the Anglian navy, serving on the HMS Triumph during Anglian intervention in the Brux Revolution, still as a young man. In 1811 Labradoria and Dolchland led a quick campaign in Bruxenburg to dissolve the young republic and install a monarch, after Prince Leopold of Macklenover declined the throne, George was offered the title, and after deliberation he accepted.
