My ruler to date is Field Marshal Valerie Derren, age 49. First leader of the Delawarean Empire, held the title since it's inception on March 4th of 2728. She was never intended to lead, being the second and last child of her mother Elizabeth. However, her elder sister and original heir Melanie would be murdered on the orders of her aunt Jennifer for reasons unknown, but probably to speed up a possible inheritance. (Valerie's grandfather Joshua Derren would father three children; Liz was the first, Jennifer was second, Martha third).
Speaking of Elizabeth, after her successes in the Intervention (think Crusade-level war) on Dutchland, she could be considered the first Field Marshal of the Delwarean Empire in everything but name (met the requirements for total # of holdings in my realm and piety, just lacked the funds). However, she would be murdered roughly seven months or so after war's end (war ended in April of 2724, she'd be dead by November) at the age of just 27, right before she could hit her potential greatness.
Anyway, her children and descendants by her first husband Stanley (lowborn, court physician at the time, treated it in my headcanon as a battlefield-type quickie marriage). Second marriage to Claudius Bannister never produced children.
