Arthur Owain James Sherrinford-de Montfort, also known under his regnal name Arthur III is the Prince of the Calbain since 1690. Arthur is the only son and was the heir-apparent of Prince Jack II of Calbion. Since 1703, he is Emperor of Andilar.
In 1717 AN, at the signing ceremony of the Treaty between Calbion and Kurum Ash-Sharqia, he was offered the Grand Cordon in the Order of As-Saif.
Early Years
Born in 1645, Arthur was the longest heir-in-waiting in Calbain history. Some years after his birth, a political discussion arose on the issue of Male-preference primogeniture. The Nationalist faction of Llywelyn Lewis, supposedly on behalf of Prince Jack himself, advocated for a move toward agnatic primogeniture. However, the Euran War, Jingdaoese occupation and subsequent exile of the Calbain government meant that the law of Princely descend did not change. Arthur's oldest sister, Brienne Alexandra, the Duchess of Kilkelly, has claimed on several occasions to have no interest in challenging her younger brother's claim to the throne.
Rule
Following the death of his father, Arthur became Prince of the Calbain and was invested in an ancient ceremony in the Catodral of Pentyre. Arthur's first decade as Prince was characterised by his withdrawal from the political arena. During the tumultuous political fights of the 1680s and 1690s, the Prince positioned himself as the non-political symbol of the Calbain people. This gained him significant popularity among the people. Arthur has two children, Llywelyn of Pentyre, who passed away in 1712, and Ida Lysanna.
Following the death of Llywelyn, Arthur withdrew from politics. In the early years of the wave of terrorism that captured Calbion following 1712, it was rumoured that the Prince had sympathy for the insurgent Gwarcheidwaid y Genedl Bur, or the "Guardians of the Pure Nation", as they wished to turn Calbion into an absolute monarchy, led by the Prince. This led the emergency government of Cedrick Eynon to pressure the Prince into withdrawing fully from public life.
