**Stuart Pomeroy I** was born on the 22 March 2001 in the south west of England. Pomeroy eventually rose to power during the colonisation of **Memia** (Spicy-Memia today). Pomeroy I is the current Duke of Eden Rock in the nation of Spicy-Memia in the southeast Pacific Ocean.

## Early Life

Stuart Pomeroy was born on the 22 March 2001 and was raised by the noble Pomeroy family. The Pomeroy family originate from noble birth in England and are descended from Norman invaders around the eleventh century.

At the age of eleven Pomeroy enrolled at Hardenhuish Academy in Wiltshire, England. The Pomeroy family name were infamous at the academy, both his sister and brother had already gone to the school years before and were well known at the school. His life at the academy was fairly regular until he left at the age of fifteen to seek a life in exploration.

## Life in Exploration

At the age of fifteen Pomeroy led an expedition into the Pacific in hope of discovering a once lost world known as 'Memia'. His expedition consisted of a rag tag crew of infidels and heretics and was malnourished and mutinous. After eight months in the south Pacific Pomeroy spotted the tops of cliffs across the horizon, now known as the infamous 'Eden Rock'.

## Foundation of Spicy-Memia

On 5 April 2016 Stuart Pomeroy and his expedition of early settlers landed at Eden Rock, northeast Wiltshire Island. The expedition was crude but managed to secure a small campsite and village further south at Port Hardenhuish.

In the early half of 2016 Pomeroy declared the nation state of Spicy-Memia. Spicy-Memia was recognised only by Fiji and Israel as a nation until it's first democratic elections, in July 2016, were upon it gained a seat in the United Nations.

Spicy-Memia was initially founded as an anarcho-primitivist society but was later reformed into a constitutional monarchy on July 16 2016. (*See The Empire of Spicy-Memia).*

## The Abdication Crisis of 2017 / The Sageobin Uprising

(*see The Sageobin Uprising for more information*)

On 13 April 2017 Emperor Stuart I was called to a meeting in the **Higher Court** with members of the Imperial Gulag Guard, Imperial Court Members and high ranking officials within the government. The meeting lasted around fourty minutes and was believed to be an intervention following the events of the **April Gulaggings** which had taken place just days before.

After the Emperor left the Higher Court he returned to his summer Palace in north Wiltshire Island where upon he made a radio broadcast over HSN radio in which he stated that he was going to abdicate the throne and that he was renouncing House Pomeroy's claim to the throne and handing it over to House Martin.

## Current Life

Pomeroy, following his abdication in April 2017, now resides in the town of **Port Eden** at the foot of Eden Rock where he governs the town. Pomeroy is the current Duke of Eden Rock and still attends some ceremonies, most notably the inauguration of the new Emperor of Spicy-Memia - William Martin in April 2017 shortly after his abdication.

He has commented about the constant ridicule he recieves from members of his family, most notably Duchess Beth Pomeroy, concerning the abdication. He once said in an interview with HSN's lead anchor Aiden Pidduck, "My sister once said to me when I told her of the news of my abdication - 'No one like's you Stuart, that's why your no longer the Emperor!'". The story has been confirmed as being true by many members of the Memian government who were present during the conversation.
