Sir Harold Habsburg

Sir Harold William Patrick Mensley Habsburg (22 May 1544 - 30 October 1630) was the first prime minister of Lyvena, from his election in 1601 to his resignation two years later. Habsburg was a staunchly conservative and Lyvenan unionist politician descended from the Habsburg family, a large dynasty with a presence across Tapanthia during the Victorian era. Under the Habsburg-led government, Lyvena entered a period of immense growth, as Habsburg ordered the harnessing of Lyvena's vast landmasses, planting the seeds for what would soon be some of Lyvena's greatest towns and cities.
While prime minister, controversy arose after it was found that in the year 1598, just three years before Lyvena's formation, Habsburg had murdered his original wife, Olivia Habsburg (nee. Paul), in order to marry Blanche Winn, who had participated in said murder. In reaction, Habsburg quickly resigned his post on September 3rd, 1603, before swiftly moving to the Cyanese region of Shallaia to avoid being arrested by Lyvenan military forces. On October 30th, 1630, Habsburg died at the age of eighty-six. Historians are divided as to the cause of his death; some say he died from tuberculosis, others say he died from assassination via poisoning.
