Death of Beatrix the Cruel

Life, Death

Queen Beatrix II Bheuren of Aldernord collapses and dies during a banquet in honour of her daughter Rosemund's eighteenth nameday. A second inheritance war is feared, but does not come to pass, as Rosemund publically acknowledges the porphyrogene claim of her younger sister Mathilda to the throne. Rosemund acts as her sister's regent until she comes of age, before stepping down to allow Queen Mathilda II Bheuren to reign in her own right. Years later on her deathbed, Rosemund admits to having poisoned her mother in order to end her reign of terror.
