James I (James Nicholas Adam Crouch) (born 29 April 1950) became the King of Britannica and Grand Duke of Clementi upon the abdication of his mother, Fiona I, on 5 October 1968.
Birth and family edit
James I was born His Highness Prince James of Saint Leo. His father was HH The Duke of Saint Leo and HH Pricness Fiona. He was a great-grandson of Joseph II and grandson of HRH The Princess Joanna.
Succession edit
At the time of his birth he was a minor member of the Royal Family, and only 12th in line to the throne. Two major events changed his standing. The first was a new Law of Succession, which stated that women and men had equal rights to the throne in 1960 and secondly, Elizabeth I abdicated in favour of her sister, Joanna I rather than her son, HRH The Prince Andrew. This saw James rocket to second in line to the throne. After Joanna I and Fiona I both abdicated, leading to James I's succession, the Law of Succession had to be returned to male primogeniture.
Reign edit
The first act of becoming Sovereign is sorting out the Royal Household and asorting the Royal Residences.
