The monarchy of Albeinland, commonly referred as the Albish Monarchy or the Albish Crown, is the constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of Albeinland, its dependencies and its overseas territories. The current monarch and head of state is Queen Catherine II from the House of Limsey, who ascedended to the throne in 1972.
The monarch and its royal family should exert a series of official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties within the country. As a constitutional monarchy, the monarch owns limited powers defined in the Common Charter of 1665, exercising non-partisan roles such as appointing the Chancellor, dismiss the Royal Assembly and convoke new elections.
The origins of the Albish Monarchy traces back to the Kingdom of Anglea, who managed to unify the Alban Highlands under the leadership of Arthur of Annesley. After the Anglean victory at the Battle of Gwynford in 1016, the Kingdom of Albeinland is estabilished and Arthur becomes the first monarch of the united country, with the House of Annesley ruling for the next 200 years.
