Empress Etiennette of Francia

"The tragedy of her being a woman is what doomed the Realms to servitude under the Demon's yoke." an Apostolite historian about Empress Etiennette

The second and last monarch to rule the fallen Francia Empire of Orbido. Etiennette was a genius, a just and strong ruler with nothing but greatness in store for her... were she not a woman. Her vassals rebelled against her rule for it went against their agnatic beliefs, despite the Francian laws overrulling their views on the matter. They rallied their troops, vied for independance, and crushed the imperial forces in a matter of months.
It is unknown what happened to Etiennette afterwards, though many counts and nobles claimed in the decades to come to have her blood in their veins. Among those pretenders were the Fortern noble family, who managed to claim the northern reaches of the Eastern realms and rule the Fortern Kingdom nowadays, despite having their fair share of lost titles as well.
