Charlotte of Alstion (15th of the First Seed, 1573 - 7th of the Grand Harvest, 1650), additionally known as Charlotte Sophia Marie and monikered “Charlotte, Mother of Monarchs”, was the only daughter of Emperor John III of Oren, and later the wife of King John I of Lotharingia.
The Horen is renowned for three attainments: she was the first official Princess Imperial of Oren, she served as the first Queen-Consort of Lotharingia, and her crowning achievement was birthing three kings, two queens, and an empress. The aforementioned third accomplishment is the one that earned her her moniker.
Family and Childhood
Charlotte Sophia Horen was born on the 15th of the First Seed, 1573, in the Palace of Saint Adrian, which was at the time the residence of the imperial court of Oren. Her father and mother were Emperor John of Oren and his cousinly consort, Julia of Furnestock. She was the ruling couple’s fourth child and only daughter. It is alleged that moments after her father laid eyes on her, he was entranced by her cherubic face and named her as Oren’s first Princess Imperial on the spot.
Months before she entered the world, it was supposedly prophesied by many throughout the empire that the parents of Charlotte were somehow the pure-blooded couple that sired four sons and would rule over the whole of humanity as described in some archaic folk tale. Unfortunately for the more superstitious Orenians, John and Julia were apparently not the aforesaid mythological couple, seeing as they were instead gifted with a daughter, rather than a fourth son. It is believed that Charlotte’s parents were believed to be the participants in the aforementioned legend because John and Julia’s union was an incestuous one, seeing as they were first cousins and both donned the Horen surname, thus making them and their progeny ‘pure-blooded’.
Foolish myths aside, the imperial court was excited that they were finally gifted with a new princess, and there was a decent amount of revelry in honor of Charlotte’s birth all throughout Johannesburg.
Growing up, Charlotte and her three brothers were gifted with an usual amount of love from their regnal parents. Usually, children of Orenian monarchs would be split up and shipped off in various different directions as wards to foreign courts or pupils in some far-off overpriced academy, but John and Julia opted to keep all of their offspring close, and ended up spending a fortune on educating all of them.
