Hendrik Leopold des Vinandy (1645 AN) is King of Batavia since 1691 AN. He is the second son of Karel Leopold des Vinandy and Elisabeth van Hollandt.

He is the brother of Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy, Emir of Arbor, former King of Batavia. Henry was nominated as the next king of Batavia, instead of Elisabeth Asara. If he accepts the Lion's Throne, the discussion about the children of Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy and Clara Sundara will be avoided over the succession to the throne. His possible accession to the throne is very similar to the situation in 1524 AN, with the accession to the throne of Arkadius II, his great-grandfather, after the abdication of his brother.

Marriage and children

He married in 1685 AN with Elena de Aragon. She was born on 16.III.1653 AN, a distant descendant of the former Grand Duke of Aragon. Together they have four children:

  • Frederik Alfons (1688 AN)
  • Sofia Leonor (1690 AN)
  • Willem Antonius (1694 AN)
  • Clarissa Isabella (1694 AN)

Reign

Main article Coronation of King Hendrik V

On 1.XV.1691 AN Henrik Leopold was crowned King of Batavia. At his request the coronation ceremony was kept austere, only the Batavian traditions were held. Unlike his brother, no big party was held on Arkadius Square. No overflight of fighter planes and no parade of military vehicles. His coronation was marked with a series of local festivities, and a series of religious ceremonies all across the country.

The revolutionary government of the Batavian Commune, headed by Pieter Beeck, condemned the coronation: "Hendrik may look like a simple man, but just like those who hold blue blood, he seeks to rule over the workers. Born as a son of a tyrant, and holding the blood of tyrants: he's merely a wolf in sheep's clothing". Revolutionary newspapers remained silent, as attacking Hendrik directly was deemed dangerous (and too early) due to his family's popularity and almost mythical status among large parts of the citizenry.
