Zitomira the Mad Queen

Zitomira the Mad Queen was the last ruler of the noble dynasty of the Makathrav family.

Her rule was marked primarily by her mental infirmity which led to political instability and ultimately the taking of power by the Bezsvetowna family who instituted their own dynasty.

The mental infirmity which plagued Zitomira is oft-attributed to the tendency of the Makathrav to marry closely within their own family.

The most infamous example of the condition of the Mad Queen's mental health is often retold in history books of the City State of Styx: she is said to have replaced all her courtly advisors with jesters, claiming it would not make a difference because her actual advisors were "nothing but a bumbling host of faulty fools".

Zitomira's rule ended when Countess Svetlanna Bezsvetowna, a member of a former lower noble family, convinced most members of the noble court and the military that Zitomira was unfit to rule and should be replaced.
Svetlanna Bezsvetowna took the throne and became the new Tsarina Bogvna starting the dynasty of the Bezsvetowna family and ending the Second Age to ring in the Middle Ages.
