Biography

Early Life

The Emperor spent the majority of his childhood, initially, within the walls of Curon. The youth was notably absent from the courts of the Rubrummagnus, Helena. Due to this, his ascendance to Emperor came as a surprise to many within the city, though he attained the backing of the Imperial Privy.

Reign

Godfrey initially assumed position as the Imperator of Renatus 1715 on the 4th of Horen’s Calling. his ascension to the throne was in an unstable period of humanity as Joseph Marna rallied Haeseni, Adrian, and Curonian forces with the intention of rebellion against the Renatian crown. The sudden ascension of the adolescent to the throne spurred the plot forward, officially sparking War of the Two Emperors.

Godfrey had opted to not assume the title of Emperor of Man; rather, he chose to be declared the Emperor of Renatus due to the divisions between human states. The War of the Two Emperors was one of the largest conflicts in recent history and was the primary concern for Godfrey and his council.

The War of the Two Emperors

Godfreys’ Empire was vastly outnumbered in the conflict as all of the old enemies that Renatus had once conquested joined the alter-imperator (other Emperors) cause. Yet, this was no set-back for a nation known for its martial prowess; The start of the war was studded with countless Renatian victories on the field such as the Battle of Leuven and the Battle of Lower Rodenbourg.

The primary offensive occurred during the earlier half of 1716 in which Joseph of Marna marched his army into Helena, the capital under-going siege. The outcome of the battle was a pyrrhic Renatian victory despite their evident lack of men in comparison to the Orenian Cavalry. They managed to safeguard the city, such leading the forces of Joseph I to withdraw.

The siege had a devastating effect on morale, with the Kingdom of Curon being the first to leave the Orenian alliance. Then followed the Republic of Ves, and the Renatian focus shifted to the Kingdom of Haense. After years of conflict, the war was finally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Reza in 1721, in which the Kingdom of Haense swore fealty to Godfrey.

Holy Orenian Emperor

Immediately following the end of the War of the Two Emperors, Godfrey disbanded the Empire of Renatus and in its stead reformed the Holy Orenian Empire, becoming Emperor Godfrey II.
