HRH The Kaiser: Heinrich Ferdinand Leopold Alexander Magnus (23)
HRH Kaiserin: Irene Sophia Alexandra Victoria of Dorest(17)
From the Royal House of von Salzwald
In the Kingdom of Kemberg
Kaiser Heinrich II came to the throne in the most unexpected of circumstances. He was the eldest son of his father, Kaiser Friedrich IV second marriage. He had three much older half-brothers, Kaiser Johan IV, Prinz Wilhelm & Prinz Viktor. Due to strict Salic law, Kaiser Johan's daughters were unable to inherit the throne, Wilhelm had renounced his rights to marry unequally and Viktor was having recently taken religious vows counter to the official State religion was barred from succession.
When Johan died unexpectedly of a heart attack aged 43, young Heinrich had the throne thrust upon him without any preparation, althought he does have both Wilhelm & Viktor as advisors.
The first piece of advice he received from his older half brothers was to marry produce heirs, to help sure up the future succession which would bring stability to Kemberg.
Heinrich asked his brother Viktor to find him a suitable match. Viktor came up with two choices, Erzherzogin Natalia of Schonberg, Viktor niece by marriage or Princess Irene of Dorset, Heinrich 2nd cousin on his mother's side.
While a marriage to Natalia would have been more politically expedient given their countries close relationship, Heinrich fell head over heals in love with Irene and proposed at their first meeting, which she accepted without hesitating.
So the day after their marriage, Heinrich & Irene were officially installed was Kaiser & Kaiserin of Kemberg.
