Alexandrina Victoria

Family History
Alexandrina Victoria is related to French Nobility, having being related to the late Princesse Marie Sophie de Grandelumiere. Marie Sophie (14th September 1721 - 19th February 1770) was the youngest daughter of the Sun Emperor, Louis XI and Empress Elisabeth Justine of France. She was the Princesse de Monaco following her marriage. The reign of her nephew Louis XII would be the beginning of the end of the Kingdom as she knew it. While the court was increasingly indulgent and unrepentant, the death of many elderly courtiers was occurring, bringing about a new age. Marie Sophie, clinging to the old etiquette, would continue her customs, and rarely visited her son, as court protocol once would have enforced. Eventually, a revolution would begin to brew outside the Chateau walls, much to her concern. When the court was informed that an angry mob of peasant women were storming on the Palace, Marie Sophie, with her daughter and her son the Prince Chretien-Baptiste, aged 25 himself, fled to the south. Taking a carriage and some provisional items, they would make their way towards the Papal states held territory in Avignon. It was here they would be granted rest and food for which they had been unable to prepare. Before long they were forced to move east to Spain. The family remained in Spain being wealthy and influential within the Spanish Court but never marrying into it, to avoid the shame and scandal of the revolution in France the family took the surname Victoria. During the colonial era they were very influential in the slave trade adding more to their vast fortune. In 1780 the family moved from Spain to the New World after the completion of their plantation Beau Rêve.

After the civil war and the founding of the Free State of Annfield the family continued to live in Beau Rêve which was now situated in the Commonwealth of Libertania. The family stayed influential throughout the 19th and 20th century. Alexandrina Victorias Grandmother Marie-Claire Victoria was a very influential woman within the commonwealth best known remembered for her annual Winter Ball, only the highest of society were invited leading to many becoming envious of it. However Marie was surrounded in scandal with rumours that the Chief of State would have secret rendezvous, not being able to cope with the scandal she lived the rest of her days in Monte Carlo. Alexandrina Victorias Mother and Father named their only daughter Alexandrina Winter Victoria in memory of her Grandmothers annual Winter balls. They sent her to study at Eton College in England during her childhood, after leaving she went to study Business and International Affairs at Oxford University. Within her first year at University her parents died in a tragic car crash. Being the only heir to their vast fortune Alexandrina became extraordinarily wealthy. She decided to continue her education and after graduating she returned to Libertania staying in her ancestral home.
