Empress Lisabetta

Imperatrix Lisabetta and courtiers at the Pledge Ball 380YE.

Called: of Flowers

Early Life and Election

The eldest child of Elise Giacomi of Tassato, and Gyorgy Yakovitch of Temeschwar, the young Empress-to-be excelled at the study of music and philosophy at the prestigious University of Tassato. After completing her studies, she was reluctantly drawn back into her family’s long-established Temeschwari business, the Hearthfire Guild of Arms and Artisans, and six years ago set up a new branch in Holberg after succeeding her mother as Prince of that Guild.

Her rise in the political sphere has been remarkable. Shortly after arriving at her first Anvil Summit in the Winter of 378YE, she was appointed Conscience of the Senate by the then Cardinal of the Way Beodun Snowlock. She served her year’s term with distinction and immediately afterwards took on the role of proxy to the Warmage, carrying out the full responsibility of that role during the storm-wracked Summit of Winter 379YE. She announced her candidacy for the Throne shortly before the Summer Solstice of 379YE and it took nearly a year of hard work to achieved the support of the Senate.

Finally, during the Spring Equinox 380YE, Lisabetta von Holberg was elected as the twentieth Empress.

Reign

At her coronation during the Summer Solstice 380YE, Lisabetta was crowned with a coronet of summer flowers woven by the young heroes of the Academy, rather than with the Imperial Crown.

Death and Legacy

At the time of this writing Empress Lisabetta is still alive.
