Robert III (b; 7 July 1539 d; 1 March 1601), commonly known as the Old Man or the Great Reformist, was King of the Anglish Empire from 1566 until his death in 1601. Born as eldest son to head of the Vieri family during the 1520s and 1530s, Ciro I, Robert was destined to rule Angland from his youth. Under Robert III Angland transformed it's overseas territories into an officialised empire with the establishment of the Anglish Empire after the Treaty of Unity. He oversaw some of the periods of the most growth for metripolitan and overseas Angland, leading reforms that would shape the history of the country. He was succeeded by his grandson Arthur I following his death in March of 1601.

Robert was born in the Remillian city of Baths on the mid-south coast of Angland in 1539 to Ciro I (head of the House of Vieri) and Valeriana Di Nello, eldest child of Charles III of Vetullia (Ciro's uncle). As eldest child to the Anglish king, Robert was watched closely by carers during his younger years as Ciro had struggled to have a child, with two previous being still-born. This lead to Robert having an incredibly sheltered childhood where he was forced to stay inside the walls of Moorlington Palace. When he was older he inherited the throne upon the passing of his father in 1566.
