Nikoleta Barbara Bihar-Kovachev (Common: Nicole Barbara), was a bastard of HRH Franz Leopold Barbanov and Natalia Elaine Kovachev. In early 1837, she was legitimized by King Henrik II.

Early Life

Nikoleta Barbara Bihar-Kovachev was born upon the 20th of Sigismund's End, 1826 in Providence, to HRH Prince Franz Leopold, 1st Duke of Sch attenburg and 1st Baron of Ghaestenwald and Natalia Elaine Kovachev. She was named after Jan, Duke of Carnatia's youngest son, Nikolaj Kovachev, as well as taking the female equivalent to her father's formal last name. Her lineage tracing back to Sigismund II of Haense (as his granddaughter via her Father's line) and Heinrik, Duke of Carnatia (as her great grandfather x3 via her Mother's line).

Nikoleta was the firstborn and only child to the Prince and Kovachev, and as she was born out of wedlock was regarded as a bastard throughout her youth. Later in life, she was betrothed to Prince Andrik Nikolas, Duke of Akovia who was second in line at the time to the throne of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. The Hanseti Crown furthermore found use in bringing the Ducal title back to its homeland through Nikoleta's marriage, as she was the daughter of one of the Crown's Princes and a by blood Kovachev. Around the same time, she was legitimized by King Henry II of Haense under Bihar-Kovachev. Furthermore establishing herself into the niche family line of the Barbanovs.

Her early childhood was spent between her Father's and Mother's households. Described by most to be violent and ill-tempered. Her education was lackluster, although she seemed eager to please those who were in higher positions. Her mother remarked that she was "a natural social climber, just like the blood in her veins.".
