War for Rosamund's Honor

The War for Rosamund's Honor is a series of international, intercontinental, and internecine disputes and conflicts beginning 1700, involving Princess Rosamund of the House of Santiago-Santander.

Background

Effective 1697, to strengthen diplomatic ties, Her Serene and Eminent Imperial Highness, The Princess Rosamund of Molivadia and Arboria, Princess of Constancia, Lady of the Holy Lakes, Scion of the King of Kings, was appointed Imperial Constancian Ambassador to the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, in a role similar to that taken by then-Princess Olympia, who was, for a time, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Imperial State of Constancia to the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation.

At the time of her appointment, as the eldest daughter of Primo de Aguilar, Autokrator of Constancia and Esmeralda al-Osman, she was seen as heir apparent to her mother's dignities as Princess of Arboria in Natopia and Viscountess of Lumenetra in the Duchy of the Guttuli, Shireroth, both with significant territorial holdings; as well as heir presumptive to her father's dignity as Duke of Santiago in Nouvelle Alexandrie, as well as heir presumptive to her father's dignity as Prince of Molivadia in the Imperial State of Constancia.

Aside from these titles and honors, she was politically and economically influential due to her concurrently being an Imperial Senator in the Imperial Synklētos and member of the Council of Molivadia of the Imperial State of Constancia, a member of the Council of Arboria, a luminary of and Tribune Cohortis / Ahmst Tazstraneï of the Nationalist & Humanist Party, Scrivener-General and member of the Court of Directors of the Sacred Lakes Lodge, Vice Chair and member of the Board of Directors of Oranjesion Private Equity Capital, Vice Chair of the Princess Isabella Foundation, a member of the Board of Directors of the Osman-Aguilar Holdings Corporation, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Duke of Santiago Foundation, Tagmatarchis (Major) in the Molivadian Home Guard and civil-military operations officer (S-9) of the Princess Isabella's Own Volunteers. In sports, she was, next to her mother, a prominent member of the Imperial Constancian Tzykanion Association, as well as Patron of the Arboria Polo Federation. She was also alumna of the Education & Indoctrination Service of Raspur/Sarayzenana, Eliria University College and an undisclosed Aldurian university in light of the Second Elwynnese Civil War. This did not yet include the personal monetary wealth of her father as revealed by the Iron Harbour Papers.

On her 27th birthday, 22.VI.1700, she was vested as Duchess of Mar Sara, in the peerage of the Principality of Arboria of the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation, with pre-eminence, by her mother in a ceremony at Tirlar, and formally declared Vicegerent of the Principality of Arboria as well as Heiress Apparent.

In late 1700, Princess Rosamund, then Ambassador of the Imperial State of Constancian to the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, was confirmed by the chicha press to be in a relationship with Lord Patrick Montgomery Wythe, grandson of Chrysostom Wythe, Count of Woodshire, Viscount Holly-Wythe of the well-known family in Shireroth.
