Ellory I in 1968
Ellory I (Ellory Alexander William Theodore Victor Albert Louis; 8 October 1921 — 4 December 1996) was Emperor of the Cygnians from 8 April 1943 until his death. Ellory I is also known to be the first Cygnian Emperor to pay taxes to the Government.
Ellory I was the youngest son of Theodore IV, and was given his name for its connection to swans. As the youngest of five children, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder siblings, especially his oldest brother, Alexander. He attended Swanstone Imperial Academy for the first years of his schooling years, until the age of twelve. Throughout his early life Ellory was known as a calm, intelligent and sensitive child who was constantly aware of his surroundings.
Prince Ellory was eleven years old when the Imperial Palace Massacre took place on 3 May 1933. A group of Imperial Army soldiers entered the Palace on a pretext and proceeded to shoot the Imperial Family, their aides, guards and maids. While everyone else in the Imperial Household was killed, Ellory himself was shot in the chest, though the bullet did not hit any vital organs. He managed to hold his breath and play dead for long enough to convince the assailants that he too had been murdered. When the soldiers left, Ellory quietly rose and, after a brief moment of grief, fled the premises. According to his biography, Emperor in Hiding, he obtained a disguise and a bus ticket and escaped to the countryside.[1]

- In Latin: Ellory I, Dei Gratia Cygniarum Imperator, Domus Hamilton-Campbell-York-Lancaster Princeps, Fidei Defensor
On coins, where the Latin title was present, Domus Hamilton-Campbell-York-Lancaster Princeps was omitted to conserve space. Ellory I was the first Emperor to be known as "Defender of Faith" rather than "Defender of the Faith". He chose to remove "the" in 1975 to stress the equal importance of his non-Church of Cygnia subjects.
