Marius Barbanov, (16th of Sun's Smile, 1683 -Present), also known as Marius II, is the thirteenth King of Haenseti and Ruska following the death of his father, Robert I of Haense.
Early Life
Marus Demetrius Barbanov was born to King Robert and Elizaveta of Vidaus in Krepost Palace in Markev in the year of 1683. Once he was born he was given the title of Grand Prince of Kusoraev, a tradition that Haense monarchs give to their heirs. While growing up within the city of Markev, he spent his time playing with the fellow noble children as any other child until the age of ten where his father had sent him to be a ward to, Emperor Augustus Horen, and tutored by Edward H. Morris.
After six years had passed, he would return to Haense to where he would begin his learning with his father. Marius would notice his father's success as he would begin to contribute by assisting his father within court along with ensuring the peace within his fathers Kingdom. While the Kingdom continued to flourish under his father, he would later attend the Crowsmoot of 1701, where he would accept an arranged marriage to Lady Valera of Adria. Within the next few months, the two would be wedded to one another joining both Carrion and Barbanov in great matrimony. Lady Valera would produce two daughters to him before the departure to Arcas and their landing at the new city of Haense. Though the marriage was a perfect match it would later result in great tragedy as Lady Valera had died in birth, resulting in the death of their firstborn son a few months after. As the next year came along, and now the death of his father, Marus would then succeed the crown of Hanseti-Ruska as King Marius II.
Reign
The Curonic Conflict
After the coronation in the 13th of The Amber Cold, 1707, King Marius began his reign by holding court where his vassals began their swearing. A month would pass until he is given reports of Pembroke, a vassal of Curon, settling within the lands of Haense up north of the city of Reza. He would later call for the King of Curon to his court to discuss upon the issue. As the date came he was stood up by King Wilhelm as he had sent a Curon envoy in his stead this would result into Marius calling for the King to come or meet with him elsewhere in order to discuss though it was quickly denied. The two nations seeming to aim towards the brink of war, Marius begins to notify the Emperor of the issue to be discussed in Imperial court. Allegations would be said from Curon during the Imperial court towards King Marius of him conspiring with Reivers and bandits to rage war though the rumor would be turned down by both Marius and the Emperor.
WIP
The Integration of Adria
The Duma of Adria in 1708 began where Paul II declared his abdication as Duke of Adria where he would then follow by nominating King Marius to be his successor. The Barons of d'Montelliano, Myre, and Bessarabia, along with the Count of Varoche, convened and partook in an election: Marius then trascending as not only the King of Hanseti-Ruska, but as the Duke of Adria as well.
