Owain V

King Owain V was the 13th monarch of Kordowyn and father of the first Emperor of Kordowyn, Arthwr III.
Owain V succeeded his father Bleddyn II on June 19th, 209 KOR after his father was killed in battle in the Empire of Kygon. Owain was forced onto the throne unprepared, and as such had a very rough start, being only 21 and having to lead Kordowyn through a war. Despite this, however, Kordowyn was victorious in the war and Owain negotiated an embarrassing peace deal for the Kygonese. 
Owain would once again attempt to lead Kordowyn through a war in The First Invasion of Kolangrad, however he was too ambitious with the war and started his campaign before the forces were ready. Kolangrad and Hybretia would defeat Owain's forces, forcing him to sign a white peace, embarrassing himself and the Kordynian nation. Owain would begin preparing a second invasion, however he would never launch it, fearful of making the same mistake he made previously. 
Owain died unexpectedly at the age of 41 after falling from an upstairs passage into the main hall of Pryce Palace, leaving the throne to the 19 year old Arthwr III. Whether or not this was an accident or an intentional act by the disgraced King has been debated.
