Emma of Korchenoy

INTRODUCTION
Emma of Korchenoy (388-439VC) was a Joran noblewoman sister of Hildegar of Erndek and married to Hejnrik II of Jehnidy and later Domenik z Arkevitz.
MARRIAGE TO HEJNRIK II
Emma of Korchenoy, 2nd cousin to Jan the Wise of Joraje, was married off by the latter to Hejnrik II of Jehnidy to help heal the rift that had formed between the Loren and Jehnidy families during the First Crisis of the Golden seat. Quickly their arranged marriage broke down, as Emma was repulsed by the sight and personality of Hejnrik who wanted to produce a child and successor with her.
ESCAPE AND ANNULMENTS
In 411 Emma escaped Mibram and fled to Lorenvald castle where she sought refuge in the court of Jan the Wise. Hejnrik demanded that she be returned as Jan was in violation of the agreed arrangement by harbouring her. When Jan refused to return her and even approved the annulment of her marriage, Hejnrik made a second golden chair. In response, Jan levied an army and began the War of the Golden Seat.
LATER LIFE
After her annulment Jan organised a marriage with Domenik of Arkevitz, a Leipha noble from Eastern Joraje. After a long and happy life together, Emma was interred at Budazy cathedral with her husband in the ancient catacombs of Barso.
