Joshua II

His Imperial Highness, Emperor Joshua II of Sidonia was the Emperor of Sidonia, and Emperor Regent of Gretia for a period of seven months. Descended from the blood of the Hamerian Brothers Joshua I and Gaius I, Joshua II was chosen as the Emperor of Sidonia when that state rebelled from Gretia in early 1293 (249), the first since Alder II during the Gretian Civil War.
A respected Prince of the extended Royal Family, Joshua was born in Sidonia in 1250, and studied law, history, and music. He briefly served in Peace Time in His Majesty's Imperial Navy under Emperor Edward I, and was friends with his daughter, the future Empress Evelyn. Joshua was originally slated to lead peace talks with the Empire of Kordowyn as early as October of 1287, and attended the Congress of Dirirabwyn the following year.
When Hiram Borman declared himself Supreme Leader of the Gretian Empire, the Sidonian Parliament balked and declared independence, and invited Joshua to serve as the Emperor, a position he took to serve the people. Sidonian forces coordinated with Tyretian and Lirrachan Fleets to contain the Gretian Junta, and were boosted by Gretian Defectors supporting the Parliament-in-Exile. In August, Joshua was declared Emperor of Gretia by the Parliament until Princess Adelaide could be found and rescued.
On the morning of October 19th, 1304, the Emperor was found in his bed hours after sustaining a serious stroke. Doctors expect him to never fully recover.
