Annachiara du Firocco

Annachiara du Firocco (b.1875) is the Queen Mother of Liotain, and a regent for her daughter Kotryna Urmana. Annachiara was born to Filipe Riedenburg, a minor Firoccan baron (descended from a Draken exile) and his Celtican-born wife Luned Ashywillyn.
In 1890, Annachiara was introduced to the future king of Liotain, Aronn Urmana, at a social event in Damlis. Despite Annachiara's young age (only fifteen at the time), Aronn mistook her for being several years older. Although this assumption was eventually corrected, the two struck up a friendship. In 1893, shortly after Annachiara turned eighteen, she married Aronn, who had been crowned king of Liotain later in 1890, making Annachiara queen consort.
After an early miscarriage, Aronn and Annachiara had their first and only child, Kotryna, who was born in 1895.
After Aronn's unexpected and early death in 1897, the young Kotryna became queen of Liotain. Aronn had previously arranged for a triumvirate of individuals (his brother Edmundas, Prime Minister Mykolas Della Rovere, and Patriarch Carolus Rimantas of the Liotainian Orthodox Church) to serve as Kotryna's regents. Although highly regarded, Prince Edmundas instead requested that Queen Mother Annachiara instead be named regent in his place. This substitute was officially accepted by the Teismas in 1898.
