Jean of Montelimar ("Jean the Brave") (1883 - 1944) was the husband of Queen Freya I of Arendaal and thus the Prince Consort of Arendaal and Götarike (Suionia) between 1917 and his death in 1944. Despite the age difference between the Royal couple, Jean was fifteen years her senior, their union is considered a happy one.
Queen Freya I was famous as the "most beautiful woman in Europe" and a thoroughly "modern" woman: she wore her hair short, she listened to jazz music, she smoked, she drove automobiles and flouted many social conventions of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century. 
Her liberality was shared by her husband and their tempers were well suited. Jean to drive his own cars, attend public jazz concerts and visit the restaurants, bars, museums, etc of Emyn Arnen unattended. He made a point of driving in the public lanes, though as a royal he was allowed to drive in public transport lanes. Like his wife, he dotted on his children and the family was an exceptionally close one given their social class.
Jean was once asked how he dared to go out in public without body guards. He replied that he had millions of lifeguards—the entire population of Arendaal. He was personable, charming and handsome, taking to the country with an openness that made him extremely popular with the Aren people. Even during his lifetime he known as the "People's Prince."
Jean died after a boating accident in Loire a year before his wife, who was heartbroken by the loss. He was buried in Loire Cathedral and when she died in 1945, Queen Freya was buried beside her husband.
