Pierce I of Curonia

|
Pierce Devereux, regally known as Pierce I is the fourth and current reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Curonia.
Early Life
Born within the walls of Avalain, Pierce was raised in the manner akin to any Prince of House Devereux, being trained in the areas of diplomacy, etiquette and combat from a very young age. The young princeling however tended to display behavior of a much more wild nature, opposing that of his younger sister's more refined demeanour.
Pierce remained out of the political scene of Arcas for the most part of his younger years, though occasionally assisting his father in diplomatic avenues of the War of the Two Emperors. A brief plan of betrothal to Lady Lucille de Falstaff was proposed during this time, however the arrangement fell through following Ecbert's death and Curonia's subsequent shift of allegiance. It was at this time where the maturing young nobleman found himself under the rulership of both a new King and Regent, again choosing to stay largely out of the political happenings of Curonia.
Upon the death of the boy King Alfred I, Curonia entered a small succession crisis, given that their reigning monarch bore no sons. As the son of Ecbert Devereux, second son to Wilhelm I of Curonia, the crown therefore fell to the now teenage Pierce. The change was enthusiastically welcomed by the Curonian people, having operated under a regent council for the better side of eight years.
He was coronated within the Curonian courtroom on the 8th of the Grand Harvest, 1720, by Archbishop Ernst.
