History
The House of Rothborne was established by Queen Elizabeth I in 1653 AN, the first year of her reign, as the reigning house of the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia. It descended from the House of Ravaillac, the Queen's own family, and comprised the Sovereign, her heirs and successors, her family, and such other persons as she named by letters patent, all of whom were to bear the name Rothborne. In 1661 AN the Rothborne Family Pact, adopted by order in council, gave the house a written constitution: it named the Queen Head of the House, with the dignity passing to her legitimate heirs, defined the Royal Line as her direct marital descendants and the Royal Family as the descendants of her father, Donat Ravaillac, and constituted a Family Council to govern the dynasty's affairs.
Through Elizabeth's marriage in 1661 AN to Emperor Francis Joseph IV of Alexandria, her children were reckoned to their father's House of Carrillo, joining the house to the Alexandrian imperial dynasty. Elizabeth I headed the house from its foundation until her death in 1723 AN, through the collapse of the kingdom and the years of the Royal Caputian Government in Exile. She was succeeded as Head of the House by her eldest son, born Edward Albert Louis Carrillo Rothborne, who succeeded to her titular Caputian and Hamland crowns and from 1737 AN reigned as titular Emperor of the Alexandrians under the name Edgard III.
