Robert II of New Britannia

Robert II "Laurentianus" of New Britannia was the eleventh Monarch of New Britannia. One of his brother's generals, Robert would distinguish himself in the war against the Britannian Empire and would be present at the fall of Kandaria, becoming its governor (though he in practice had no true power as a result of his brother directly overseeing things in the city) during the official occupation, and later becoming the ambassador, granting him de facto control over the city, which was still unofficially occupied by New Britannia. He would be called back to New Britannia when his brother died and his intended successor, Robert's nephew, was killed with him in an ambush by Laurentian Natives. Angry at this turn of events, upon reluctantly becoming King, he would launch a full invasion of East Laurentia, bringing the ambush party and their Grand Chieftan to justice. His continued campaign resulted in East and part of what would someday be called South Laurentia falling to him and weakened the resistance to settlement encountered in the region by great multitudes. As a result of his conquests, Robert would be declared "Laurentianus" in 171 1ENB, dying just more than a month later. He would be succeeded by his son Henry II, though he ordered the ceding of the Dukedom of Kingstone to his second and favorite son, Robert, on his deathbed.
