Llywelyn I

Llywelyn I was the second Emperor of the Empire of Kordowyn, as well as the Count of Cadigan. Llywelyn was the cousin of the late Emperor Arthwr III through his mother, Anne ferch Bleddyn, younger sister of Owain V. He was also the first ruler of Kordowyn from the House of Cadigan. Llywelyn spent four years in the Imperial Navy as the captain of HMS Drake, and served with honor during the Second Invasion of Kolangrad. He served in the Imperial Navy from the age of 17, in 231, until age 21 in 235. 
Llywelyn Cadigan was appointed to the Council of Kordowen by his elderly and ill father, to take his place due to being unable to travel to Kordowyn. Following the Emperor's sudden heart attack on the second day of the Council's meeting, Llywelyn was voted as Regent of the Empire of Kordowyn in a 7-3 vote by the Council, where Llywelyn abstained from voting for himself.
After the death of his father in December of 242, Llywelyn inherited the County of Cadigan. He immediately volunteered his services to the Imperial Navy once again, to fight the Gretian threat. However, when problems began in the Crown Colony of Maddocksland, Llywelyn was ordered by Arthwr III to travel to the Colony to be his personal representative in the Colonial Administration. 
On July 20th, 244, Llywelyn inherited the Imperial Throne of Kordowyn after the death of Arthwr III. In January of 245, Llywelyn married the distant cousin of the Garmanese king, Caoifhlinn III, Joan de Roíste-Maigh Nuadha, however she later died giving birth to triplets. 
Emperor Llywelyn had many attempts on his life throughout his reign, however on November 2nd, 256 he was shot three times in the chest, ultimately being killed. His legacy was complicated, his reign saw the Empire rapidly modernize and the second half of his reign was a period of unprecedented economic prosperity, but his reign was also marred by the Imperial Civil War and the period he spent trapped in the Old World. His reorganization of the Empire into a Confederation of States has ramifications that are still not fully understood. 
Llywelyn was succeeded by his daughter, the Empres Charlotte, upon his death. Category:Kordowyn
