Timbale V

Timbale V (765-842) was a King of the Tamar Kingdom who ruled from 787 to 812. He was the first Tamar sovereign from the House of Eclair. 
==Biography==
Son of an authoritative, but unknown member of the Tamar aristocracy, Timbale was elected sovereign at the age of 22, after having ousted and killed Beri XII the Sadist, who had ruled as a tyrant for 16 years. He can be considered the first king of a unified Tamar Kingdom after many years of civil wars between the many noble families claiming the throne.
During his reign, Timbale had to face several pretenders from rival families, but they were always defeated. After 803, whoever, the kingdom started to weaken. Timbale was a great whoremonger and spent most of his evenings with prostitutes, including his sister-in-law, Jute of Blandia, with whom he had an illegitimate son. This led Timbale to murder both Jute and the child in an act of madness. Because of this, in 812 he was forced to go to Blandia, to ask forgiveness from King Bland XIII and avoid a war between the two island-kingdoms.
Back in Scanzia, he found himself facing the pretensions to the throne of his brother, Knob the Stubborn. Through clever political moves, Knob managed to provoke a revolt in the country while obtaining support from King Bland XIII and the Palatinate feudal lord David Moret. Helped by the Blandians and the Palatines, Knob managed to dethrone Timbale and imprison him at the end of 812.
Timbale V spent the rest of his life crawling inside a little and dirty cell, until he finally died of malnutrition in 842.
