Biography
Early Life
John Augustus was born in Anpalais to John Owyn, Prince of Alstion and his wife Princess Julia Adelheid of Furnestock, his father's first cousin as the daughter of Daniel III. At the time of his birth, the reign of his grandfather, John II, was in its twilight years - four days subsequent to his christening, the emperor abdicated, with his eldest son the Prince of Alstion taking the throne as John III. Accordingly, John Augustus became automatically entitled to the styling of Prince of Alstion as heir apparent to the crown of the Holy Orenian Empire from the age of a few days old.
