Successor: Charles II

Early Life: Anne was born in Rosalia City in the House of Buckenshire ( now demolished) to King Charles I and Mary Guise the queen consort of the country. Her health was perfect unlike the last few members of her family and she even was said to be a bony baby. Her and her mother , Mary would sit in the house as the king ran the country and ordered new buildings to built here and there. Anne's first birthday was celebrated in King Alexander's Park, lots of rich , royal and loyal people to the king came to celebrate his daughters birthday. Anne had a great childhood up until she was 2 years old when her mother and father died after the balcony of their new palace collapsed.

The young Queen : As Anne was only 2 years old when she became queen, she could not run the country, so what the parliament did was run the country until she was old enough. Anne had just been through a hard time with the deaths of both her parents but because of her age, it didn't mean much to her. The royal court of Queen Anne was decorated with a royal dark purple ceiling and large velvet, royal purple curtains that hung from the tall ceiling. It may sound very girly, but even the men were impressed by the amazing colour scheme. As Anne arrived at four her parliament were ruling Calidonia greatly and the neighbouring tribes in the Calidonian Jungle were keeping peace with the city folk.

It was when Anne turned eight that the parliament decided she was now old enough to rule her kingdom. At first she struggled and got really emotional when done things wrong, it was then when a trusted official helped her rule Calidonia, his name was Lord Callistor. Him and Anne ruled the kingdom excellently until she was ten, this was when she was to chose a husband and both of them were to jointly rule Calidonia. Anne picked Joseph Van-draken , a young catholic architect from Ilande.


The Young Couples Rule: The young couple never started ruling Calidonia together until they were fifteen. This was due to the parliament not trusting Joseph and told Anne that she was not to let him be in charge until they got his trust. Eventually when Anne was 13 and Joseph was 18 , the parliament let him jointly rule Calidonia. During the first ten years the relationship was not sexual at all , merely because of the age gap between them. When Anne became 20 years old the king and queen had their first kiss and also made love that exact night. Anne fell pregnant with her first child, Charles.

As Joseph was an architect his amazing city of Rosalia had to be perfect, he even designed a cathedral in King Alexanders Park which is still standing to this day, though now It is just a museum called Christ Cathedral. During the time of these two great monarchs the city of Rosalia improved by far. The second richest and most advanced city up till now was Crosstown which the houses were mostly made of wood and some brick. Queen Anne changed this, she moved south of the country and started creating Towns such as Livestown, Crownsroad and Bahli.

The Helping Alliance: In 1579 Queen Anne faced her worse nightmare, war. Queen Anne I never ever wanted to take Calidonia into war but the call from their nearest ally, Ilande who was ruled by Anne's auntie Elizabeth VI. Elizabeth VI's brother James II of Deadeye was determined to build up the empire that his brother, Charles I of Calidonia broke apart. First James was planning on taking over the small countries that were between Deadeye and Ilande then finally make his way North into Ilande and then to Calidonia, war was needed. Together Anne and Joseph planned out an army that would sure beet the forces of Deadeye and the South. After they came up with a plan they invited the Queen of Ilande, Elizabeth up to the palace. After much discussion the plan was changed, and Elizabeth headed back home. Three weeks later the mighty forces of Deadeye rushed up the east coast of Modland and the war had suddenly started.

Thousands of troops from Ilande and Calidonia rushed down Ilande's east coast and into Modland where they met their fierce opponents. Surprisingly the army of Deadeye was lead by King James II himself, suddenly the two forces rushed at each other as James struggled to escape. At the end of the deadly war over 3,400 people died including James II of deadeye. When the king was killed the battle stopped and the army returned home to Deadeye and the Calidonians and the Ilande's celebrated a great victory. King James II of Deadeye had no children therefore had no issue as an heir to his throne, the only real heirs were Queen Elizabeth VI of Ilande and Queen Anne I of Calidonia.


Queen of Two States: As the king of deadeye was buried in the royal cathedral the parliament got to work straight away on the impossible task of choosing a monarch. Queen Anne of Calidonia was their favourite, she had gained so much for her nation and Deadeye was needing someone like her. Immediately the chief commander wrote to Anne explaining their situation and that she was their only hope. When Anne received the letter she thought hard about her invitation but finally decided not to accept. This made Elizabeth VI queen of Ilande and Deadeye. People said, Anne was made not to accept but the queen always responded that Calidonia was all she wanted and that the people of Deadeye were infected with some kind of evilness. Anne was very interested in history and she hated her family because of what history said about them, especially her great grandfather Rufus the XVI, the may be the reason she refused the Deadeye throne.

The rest of the years Anne was queen, Calidonia was at peace and made very powerful ally's. The country had became one of the best known in the world, for religion, culture , wealth and trade. Anne sadly died at the grand old age of 60 on the 31st of December 1612 and the next king of Calidonia was crowned.
