Adela of High Peak (born Adela-Olympe Dieuxmont de Rosius on the 13th day of Owyn's Flame in the year 1908) was the eldest daughter to Marquis Louis August of Haute-Epine and Marquise Marguerite of Lewes. She was born only minutes after her elder brother, Olivier, Baron of Rosius. Following her twenty-second name day she was betrothed to Crown Prince Henry Charles of Aaun and wed only a few months following, raising her to the status of Lady of Alba and Crown Princess of Aaun.

Following her husbands death, Adela was raised to the title of Viscountess of Valence by the doting old King James of Aaun, however after the King's death she began to style herself as Queen Mother, not only to assert herself within the courts, but also within the council of regents that advised her son. During this period Adela was often regarded as the consort despite her husband's death as there was a lack of an Aaunic leading lady at the time. After an arduous regency alongside peers Heinrich Alstreim and Gawyn Tiber, Adela found herself opposed to many of her son's councilors. After meeting with Haeseni diplomats Adela was placed under house arrest from which she escaped after only a few weeks with the aid of her ladies-in-wait. Following her escape and villainization by her previous peers upon the Regency Council, Adela found herself living in an obscure monastery for some time prior to her arrival and later death at the Esrova Court of Hanseti-Ruska. Only a year following her death her son was slain.
