King Aldricius III Catarina

King Aldricius III of Catarina also known as 'Aldricius the Beloved' and 'Aldricius the Blessed' was a King of Catarina and the Nineteenth overall Monarch, being the son of Imelda II.
Aldricius III inherited the Kingdom at a time of great turmoil, when the Black Sickness managed to sweep across the entire Kingdom, killing many and claiming the life of his mother, Queen Imelda II who in turn became the first monarch to die of natural causes outside of war time. Aldricius then took major precaution as due to the line only allowing one child to succeed him decided to rule from Fort Sieg, so that the line of succession could be completed and to not risk the dynasty of the royal family. The Sieg Knights were more than courteous to oblige the King in staying with them, welcoming him to rule from there as the sickness swept the lands. 
This however ended up being quite the troubling moment, as members of the Sieg Knights who were stationed elsewhere had passed, but some living at the keep also managed to get the sickness, though how they got the sickness is unknown. Only five Sieg Knights managed to survive the sickness and King Aldricius managed to get the sickness nonetheless. The line of succession was severely threated by this and since there was no known cure, many worried that the Royal Family would officially perish. Aldricius however was strong willed, which some attributed to the fact that those born of the name Aldricius happen to be the strongest Catarinian monarchs, though some believed this to just be a myth created by the smallfolk. Nonetheless, King Aldricius managed to pull through the sickness, much like many other strong willed of the population, but Catarina lost nearly 25% of its populace.
Aldricius decided to dedicate his time to helping the smallfolk, by importing goods and medicines from around the world to ensure that his Kingdom thrived in a great time of need. He even decided to go and work in the fields once the sickness has passed, make sure that there was enough to feed those who were unfortunate to lose key workers during the sickness. He also opened up the White Palace gardens from time to time to provide hot food for the most down stricken. Due to his generous nature, as well as stalwart frame of mind and body, King Aldricius was posthumously given the title of both 'Aldricius the Blessed' and 'Aldricius the Beloved', which made him one of only several monarchs to receive such a title and the first to receive multiple titles.
King Aldricius' child was Gunther II, who succeeded him to the throne in 1327FY.
