Ruler: His Serene Highness Duke Alfons Ferdinand Lorenz Matthias Georg (30)
Consort: Her Serene Highness Duchess Marie Catherine Louise (16)
Of the Royal House of Haasenbach, of the Duchy of Grenwald.
Count Alfons von Haasenbach never expected to be more than another noble fighting for the Empire in the Imperial army. His father Lorenz had been a great general and so had his grandfathers, Count Georg von Haasenbach and Duke Bernhard von Grenwald.
Alfons had fought many campaigns away to maintain the Empires borders when he had received some terrible news, his grandfather Bernhard had died in a terrible castle fire, along with his cousin, Bernhard's sole heir, Wilhelm.
With the duchy of Grenwald vacant, it was up to the Emperor to decided whom it should be filled by. Although Alfons had older brothers, George & Ruprecht, Alfons' loyalty & steadfastness on the battlefield won over the Emperor, plus as Alfons was single the Emperor was able to marry him off to his illegitimate daughter, Marie Catherine Louise, giving her and her future issue a secure future.
Marie was a beautiful young woman, who bore a strong resemblance to her mother, the courtesan Catherine Labelle, but had her father, the Emperor's dark eyes. Marie wasn't too keen to marry a soldier but having her father tell her that it was the best thing for her future made it bearable.
Soon Alfons and Marie meet for the first time only a week before they were to be wed. Instantly both were taken with one another and any doubts or disheartening thoughts they had were soon done away with.
Alfons & Marie were installed to his throne and married in one ceremony presided over by his youngest brother, Dominick, Archbishop of Sassenberg.
