Fredrik Aleksandr also known as Fredrick I (WIP), of the House Ludovar, is Count of Otistadt. He is the eldest son of Baron Aleksandr of Rostig-Otistadt and Sofiya Baruch who was proclaimed as Count of Otistadt by Emperor Peter III due to his great success on building his own levy company and defending the lands of Empire.

Early life

Fredrik Aleksandr Ludovar was born to Aleksandr Ludovar and Sofiya Baruch within the Ludovar manor in New Reza within the year of 1707. Growing up he had become quite close to his father though more so his mother as his father wasn't around much within his life. Despite this his existence would be quite unknown until he had reached the age of ten where he was able to stroll around in the city with his mother in New Reza and the city of Helena. While he had visited cities and towns he had began to take note within them as he had grown some interest in potentially having his own town where he could manage its houses and events.

Once he had reached the age of twelve, his father would assign him to become a student or ward under Erik Othaman, the Exchequer of War, where he would observe how the Haense military operates, join its practices, and learn its tricks on its recruiting process. A year later, Fredrik would become Baron of Rostig-Otistadt after his father's death in 1761.

Reign

Baron of Otistadt

The title Baron of Otistadt was bestowed upon Frederick I by his Majesty, Sigismund II, King of Hanseti-Ruska. He earned this title through his military service as the Leader of the Ludovar Company. He was given the title by Sigismund II, King of Hanseti-Ruska during the time when the Emperor and the King were arguing about who should be able to give Nobility in Haense. Frederick only had this title for a few years though, as the King decided to give in and comply with the Emperors request. This lead all the Haensemen, including Frederick who were given Nobility during the disagreement to have their titles revoked as they were no longer valid.



Count of Otistadt

The title Count of Otistadt was bestowed upon Frederick Ludovar in the year of 1777. He received this title due to his service to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, and the Holy Orenian Empire. Upon receiving this title, he was also given Johnstown and a Knightly title by the Emperor. Once the land was given to him he started his restoration efforts of Johnstown, he started by renovating parts of the town. Once the buildings were renovated he started to work on administration. He allowed houses to be available for people to live in, started the tavern back up, and ran various events to encourage others to move into Johnstown as well as bringing joy to the citizens.

WIP


Master of Johnstown

After Fredrick's successful taking of the hamlet town of Johnstown, the citizens of the region immediately recognized his strength and power. They declared him the "Master" of Johnstown, giving him a title that reflected his dominant position over the town.

While it is unclear whether Fredrick was considered the Lord of the region, the fact that the townsfolk referred to him as simply "Fredrick" suggests that he may have humbled himself among them. This could be seen as a sign of his respect for the people of Johnstown, and his desire to be seen as one of them rather than a distant and unapproachable ruler.

Despite this humble attitude, there is no doubt that Fredrick was the undisputed leader of Johnstown. Documents from the duma, or governing council, of the town refer to him as the Master, indicating that he held a position of authority and influence.

It is likely that Fredrick's rule over Johnstown was a prosperous and successful one. Under his leadership, the town may have experienced growth and development, with improvements to its infrastructure and economy. The citizens of Johnstown would have benefited from Fredrick's strong and capable rule, and they would have been grateful for the peace and stability he brought to their lives.

In the end, Fredrick's legacy as the Master of Johnstown would have been a lasting one. He would have been remembered as a powerful and benevolent ruler, who helped to bring prosperity and happiness to the people of the town.
