Biography
Early Life
The youth of Adelaide is mostly unknown and unrecorded, other than the year of her birth - being 1583 - and her parentage, Demetrius Ruthern and Sophia Amador. She was the twin to Aleksandra Abrielle, and was the sister to three brothers. Her brother, Boris, would later become the Count of Metterden. There is little known about her brothers Tuvya and Viktor or her relationship with the two.
Assumably, she was well-educated and taught in courtly affairs alongside her sister. It was brought to the attention of the two sisters that the King of Haense was unwed, informed of this by their mother Sophia Amador. Immediately, the two sisters schemed against each other in attempts to marry the crown prince. Neither knew much of the others thoughts on the situation, but Adelaide was allegedly determined to become the Queen and gain the power of the position as the spouse to the King. Adelaide would manage to gain an arranged marriage between herself and the King, before her sister. The relationship between the two sisters was never fully mended out of their jealousy.
Marriage
On the 5th of Amber Cold, 1595, the King Marius and Adelaide were married in the cathedral of St. Karlsburg. The wedding appeared to be rather superficial and, to some, for show. Adelaide followed closely in her predecessor's footsteps, Reza of Turov, in regards to her dress. Most of her dress was a design of beaded embroidered lace, with the beads being 2 carat diamonds carefully sewed into the fabric. Some of the diamonds at the neckline were noted to be 4 or 5 carats. The fabric overall was made of satin. Unlike Reza, however, she was perceived as being costly beyond belief and unreasonable as her dress was even more than the first Queen of Haense's. The wedding was officiated by the Archbishop of Haense; the same man who coronated Marius.
Queen Consort of Haense
Once married to Marius, she ascended the position of Queen Consort of Haense. Adelaide, according to former courtiers, left the court unattended and didn't fulfill any duties as Queen set by Queen Reza. However, in the year following her marriage, she was bestowed her first child by the name of Peter II of Haense, the heir and Grand Prince of Kusoraev.
Little else was contained within the reign of Adelaide, other than rumors of her deceit from servants living in the palace of Ottosgrad. She was well-liked by the aunt of the King, Princess Julia Katherine and the two were believed to have had a good relationship. Between Adelaide and her spouse, their relationship was kept political and not for love. Although they had children, two later on with the birth of Stephen I of Haense, the two were ultimately distant.
