**King Maxwell Von-Koopa III** was the 169th monarch of the Koopa Kingdom. His reign began in 1686 upon his mother's abdication, and it ended in 1709 when he abdicated the throne to his eldest son Maxwell, who then was crowned King Maxwell IV. Maxwell was born in 1664 and died in 1766 at the age of 102 years old.

### Backstory

Prince Maxwell was born in 1664 to Queen Anne Von-Koopa II and her husband, Prince Benedict Darthorne, being the eldest of their 13 children. He wanted to attend the newly opened Loggerhead University before being crowned as King, which was also where he met his future wife, Adelaide. His mother Anne abdicated the throne to her son and Maxwell’s coronation was held on that same day, and on January 23rd 1686, Maxwell was crowned as King Maxwell III at the age of 21.

Maxwell and Adelaide married in 1690, and the couple had 8 children that survived into adulthood. Maxwell’s reign was mostly uneventful, but the King was most known for being great with musical instruments and was a very skilled painter, hence why his posthumous nickname was “Maxwell the Talented”. As Maxwell III’s eldest child; Prince Maxwell, got older and older, he began to grow up to be a cruel and psychopathic young man. Prince Maxwell would torture animals, other children and even his own loyal servants, simply for his own entertainment. As Maxwell got even older, he started sexually harassing women as well, and dozens of complaints were made against the Prince. King Maxwell and Princess Adelaide did very little to discipline their son, as the Prince played off as a “sweet little boy” when his parents were around.

In the year 1708, 17-year-old Prince Maxwell was ready to set a date to become the King, and his parents were completely on board. However, the Royal Noble Council was concerned that putting Prince Maxwell in charge of the Kingdom would be a horrible mistake, so they managed to give the heir to the throne position to the next person in line, who happened to be Maxwell III's second child, Prince Louis. Despite the King's efforts to convince the council that his firstborn had done nothing wrong, their decision was final.

However, a few months later all of the council members suddenly went missing with no good explanation. Prince Maxwell told his parents the news, and he then gave them a letter that was made by one of the members. The letter was written in red ink, and had the handwriting of the council's leader. This non-suspicious letter stated that the council changed their mind about not making Maxwell the king, and there appeared to be more text but it wasn't readable due to the bottom half of the letter being ripped off. So Maxwell was then again heir to the throne in 1709, and was crowned as King Maxwell IV 9 months later.

### Relationship w/ Spouse

Princess Adelaide Ronshaw was the wife of King Maxwell III. She was born in 1666 and died in 1763 at the age of 96.

Maxwell married Adelaide Ronshaw in 1690. She was the grandniece of Kentarō Tanaka, the first Headmaster of Loggerhead University, which was the university Maxwell attended before he was King.

### Issue

#### Maxwell IV, King of the Koopa Kingdom

Prince Maxwell was the first son and child of King Maxwell III that survived to adulthood. He was born in 1691 and died in 1772 at the age of 81.

Maxwell's first wife was Bridget Greenwell, the Daughter Mitsuaki Greenwell, who was the Darkland Village Mayor. The couple had 7 children together (including Queen Lola I). Their marriage ended when Bridget told her husband that she was afraid that if they tried to get her pregnant again, Maxwell would end up crushing her, as he weighed roughly 432 lbs. (196kg) at the time. Maxwell threatened to beat her with his Magic Scepter if she didn't comply, and Bridget ended up being crushed by her husband, as she predicted. After this, Bridget lost her ability to walk and had to be carried by Maxwell's servants. Maxwell didn't like how his servants were paying attention to his wife instead of him, so he divorced her and exiled her along with the rest of her family from the Kingdom.

Maxwell’s second wife was Lillian Zarronhoff, the Granddaughter of Rev. Sōta Otsunari. The couple had 5 children together. Their marriage ended when Maxwell started cheating on her with Tabitha Nogstein, with whom he had two children with. When Lillian found out about her husband’s affair, she confronted him about it, and as a result, was given a life sentence in prison. Maxwell lost all interest in Tabitha after he imprisoned his wife, and the two stopped seeing each other.

Maxwell’s third and final wife was Judith Silvers, who was the cousin once removed of his first wife, Bridget Greenwell. The couple had 3 children together. Judith was exiled from the Koopa Kingdom at the age of 16, but returned to the Kingdom 17 years later and was allowed to stay if she married the former King and bore as many children with him as he wanted. In 1754; Judith stopped Maxwell from striking her and struck the King back, something that had never happened before to Maxwell. Despite losing the position as King almost 20 years ago, he convinced the Noble Council that she had “tried to assassinate him” and she was set to be executed. Maxwell’s daughter stopped this from happening and almost all of Maxwell’s authority was taken away from him. The couple never officially divorced, but were clearly not together since the incident.
