Brianna I Vasa-Nassau: Difference between revisions

 

Marie Brianna was, all things considered, a decent soldier but a poor visionary. Critics of her before and during her reign said she was dull, easily manipulated and un-opinionated, which allowed her to be swayed relatively easy. This led to her becoming friends with some unpopular of groups within the Sarovian court. In an attempt to remedy this, William arranged the marriage of his daughter with the upstart, hotheaded Jacob I of Sacro, to bring peace between their two countries. Brianna disliked her husband but worked faithfully for him in Sarovia and in Sacro. Just prior to when her father was declared dead by Parliament, he chose her youngest brother Edward to take the crown due to the fear of Jacob being King-Consort of New Sarovia. Likewise, William on the specific request of his deceased uncle [[Constantine VI & I Vasa]] gave the throne of the Grand Kingdom of the State to Andrey Vasa's underage son [[Francis I Vasa-Nassau | Frederick Constans Francis Hanke]], despite the laws entertwining the State to the Sarovian throne, which left Brianna with no prospect of a title in her own right. However, when Edward I was forced to abdicate, he declared his abdication so that his eldest sister may reign, throwing everything into Marie Brianna's hands.

Brianna and her Prime Minister would meet in November of 2019 with Francis with an attempt to fix the situation. Weeks of negotiations led to even further disagreements when Francis publicly argued that he should have legally inherited the throne of New Sarovia due to his father's investiture as Prince of Kiev. Prime Minister Alexander would recommend to his Queen and cousin to declare herself as Grand Queen of the State as well, which she did with little fanfare. This enraged both sides to the point of blows until a truce could be organised by both parties. Mediated by Jacob II and the Viscount Lochland, both sides were on the verge of an agreement before talks broke apart. Regardless, an unwritten rule was put in place that upon the death of the other, it would be safe to assume the other would seize control.
