Arkadius IV, also known as Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy (1642 AN), is King of Batavia since 1669 AN and King of Amokolia since 1672. He returned to Batavia in 1666 AN and played the organ of the Cathedral of 's Koningenwaarde. Soon he re-established the Conservative Monarchist Party (which had dominated politics during most of the Second Kingdom) and entered the political arena. After the elections, he obtained an absolute majority in the House of Commons. In cooperation with the Ultraroyalists and decisive action, he succeeded in bringing about major reforms. This led to his accession to the throne in 1669 AN.
Arkadius is a descendant from the House of Vinandy, who already provided three kings and a queen for the Batavian throne.
Early life
Arkadius was born in the Schaarlecht City Hospital, in Schaarlecht, capital of the Beneluccas, which at the time was part of Flanders. The room of the hospital where he was born was temporarily declared extraterritorial, giving him the Batavian nationality. His fate to become king of Batavia was thus already determined. Despite the fact that at the time of his birth there was no view of a monarchy, 21 salute shots were fired.
His names are:
- Arkadius, named after his ancestor Arkadius Hendrik des Vinandy (Arkadius II of Batavia).
- Frederik, named after his grandfather Frederik Hendrik des Vinandy.
- Gustavus, named after his distant cousin Gustavus des Vinandy, king of Arcadia.
Arkadius lived in his youth on Estate Chogogo, on the island of Erasmus of the Beneluccas, near Schaarlecht. In that place he went to school. The organ of the estate chapel Arkadius learned to play the organ.
He studied political science and international law at the University of Goldshire in Shireroth. He then completed military service with the Royal Arcadian Navy, where he was promoted to lieutenant at sea. After his military service he still obtained his pilot's license.

The Prime Minister's ascension to the Batavian Crown was one of the most awaited events in Benacia of the 17th century.
