Theodore III (Joan of What?)

Theodore III (Theodore Albert Alexander Charles William, 24 March 1855 — 2 August 1928) was the fourth Emperor of Cygnia. He ascended the throne upon the death of his father Theodore II in 1882, and held the throne for 46 years until his death in 1928. He was the longest-reigning monarch in Cygnia's history.

Theodore III was known for his relatively conservative leanings when compared to his predecessors and successors, and was notorious for his favouritism towards National Unity Cancellarial candidates and Congressmen. Throughout his reign he was known to be more approachable and friendly towards NUP Chancellors than those of the Democratic Labour Party.

Theodore was born in 1855 to Albert, Duke of Augusta and his wife Mary Frances Tennyson, Duchess of Augusta. He became heir apparent at the age of 12 in 1867 when his grandfather Theodore I died and his father became Theodore II. The younger Theodore spent much of his adolescence educated in politics and leadership, and developed a conservative posture.
