Francis I Vasa-Nassau: Difference between revisions

Frederick Constans Francis Hanke was born to the [[Andrey Vasa|The Prince of Kiev, Andrey Vasa]], and was a chief prospect to one day be the heir to the Sarovian throne. Francis entered the House of Vasa and was tutored in all the subjects of a Vasa prince, such as warfare, the arts, High Sarovian and finances. He excelled in the latter two to the point that it was difficult to speak English or Portuguese with him due to a tough-to-overcome accent. With finances, he was proficient and talented, and unofficially aided the Ministry of Finance in his youth due to this genius. WHis early life was quickly upended, however, when the Prince of Kiev died. Francis was still severely unexperienced in statescraft and, due to this, his grandfather [[William I Vasa]] disinherited him and nominated his younger son, Edward, to take the throne. Francis was distraught over this, but was resolved to find other ways he could aid the Empire. This illusion was shattered due to the Auro-Imperian Offensive and the sudden abdication of his grandfather, and the even more sudden abdication of Edward I.
