Robert Barbanov, (9th of Snow's Maiden, 1666 - Present), also regally known as Robert I, is the twelfth King of Haenseti and Ruska following the death of his father, Sigmar I of Haense.

Early Life

Robert was born in the 9th of Snow's Maiden in the year of 1666 in Krepost Palace in the city of Markev to King Sigmar and Queen Sophia Barbanov. He would grow his infant life as any other, though once he reached the age of five he would be put under his grandfather Prince Robert Sigismund before he'd be put under both him and Rhys var Ruthern at the age of seven. While under his grandfather he would have grown up learning about leadership and his families history along with their struggles. Under Rhys var Ruthern, the Marshal of Haense, he would be put to the test where he would learn how to properly wield a sword. As he started off being slow at swordsmanship he would slowly begin to master the blade besting many of his friends.

After a few years had passed at the year of 1682, King Sigmar, his father had been slain during a hunt in the Czena forest a bit further south of Markev. Robert would remain in his chambers for three days in mourn before taking up his duty as King of Haense. He would then be coronated on the 9th of The Deep Cold of the year 1682 at the age of sixteen.

Marriage

While growing up with both his family and the ducal family House Ruthern due to his studies. Robert would become friends with Rhys's granddaughter, Lady Elizaveta var Ruthern. She and he would be seen talking to one another becoming close with one another. As time went on and the death of King Sigmar in the year of 1682, Robert's grandfather had taken notice of the two throughout the years watching as they sneaked out to talk privately. Within a few months, Prince Robert Sigismund would arrange a marriage between the two who were then married the following year in 1683.

Reign

At the beginning of Robert's reign, he'd begin to do a clean sweep of the Council reforming the old government to which he would begin to appoint those who were worthy of such position. Once accomplishing such goals Markev would begin to slowly regain to its former glory as many events would be held within the city. With Robert assisting on Markev prospering like it once was along with working with his newly formed government a man by the name of a family who was once around within the Kingdom of Haense, Henrik Kovachev, who had arrived back in Haense bending the knee to the King regaining his family title as Duke of Carnatia.

Third Atlas Coalition War

Despite Robert's peaceful reign thus far he would begin to hear a sight of a rebellion which Robert would become furious as they were people his father trusted. As a few days passed Robert would order one of his Captains to rally a raiding party towards Arberrang to negotiate for their surrender. Upon the negotiation, Robert's captain along with the retinue would have been slain by the Nordengradic people led by the new Earl, Torsten I Rosik who had rallied against Robert.

After the loss against Arberrang and Nordengrad, Robert would begin to join in on meetings with Prince Augustus I and Prince Cassius Horen for the conquest towards Nordengrad and Arberrang. Three years would pass before Nordengrad and Arberrang along with their allies would be trampled upon by Robert and the Empire of Man's armies. Thusly Robert would be known by his people as a warrior King or as the Conqueror.
