The House of Hohensteinburg or House of Hohensteinburg-Colliete is a Noble Family and Dynasty of Kings, Archdukes and Emperors of Prussia, Aquitania, Lusitania, Azurnereich and Constantine, some of the States previously mentioned are no longer ruled by the House of Hohensteinburg, for example, Prussia and Azurnereich, while a cadet branch, the House of Souza, rules Constantine. They originated in the 7th Century. The Family took their name from their ancient Home Castle, Hohensteinburg, which means High Stone Castle in Azurni, Aquitanian, Prussian and Wassarian Languages, even though all four have notable differences. The House gained power as Azurnereich rose.

It was originally the "House of von Hohensteinburg", the preposition "von" was removed when the House began to rule Aquitania and it looked more appealing to the 2900's Aristocracy, who pressured the Dynastic Rulers to change it.

The House of Hohensteinburg  ruled Azurnereich for Millennia until the Monarchy there was abolished, for a period they lived a peaceful life outside of politics until they were called to be crowned as the Aquitanian Ruling House in the year 2904 after the fall of the House of Wolfker. The Hohensteinburgs were widely accepted as the legitimate rulers of Aquitania and have been ruling for more than a century as Absolute Monarchs with occasional Advisory Councils. 

In the year 2992, the Hohensteinburg Dynasty became the Ruling House of Imperial Lusitania after the latter's Confederate Union Collapsed due to a revolution. Then König Wilhelm II taking the title of Kaiser Wilhelm I of Lusitania.

The Dynasty made an Official and Formal union with the Clan na Colliete of East Heaven through the marriage of Imperial Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohensteinburg and Heavenly Princess Maya na Colliete. The House of Hohensteinburg is sometimes popularly referred to by the Aquitanian Civilians as the House of Hohensteinburg-Colliete.

Constantine is ruled through a Union with the House of Souza, forming the Souza von Hohensteinburg Dynasty or House. Currently the branch ruling Constantine is the House of Souza, Hohensteinburg was dropped from the name after legal issues in the early 32nd Century.

The current Head of the House of Hohensteinburg-Colliete is Wilhelm IX, he is also the current Kaiser of Aquitania and Lusitania. He was crowned following the death of Kaiser Friedrich II and the abdication of his father; Wilhelm .

After the death of the Wolfker dynasty, the Provisional Assembly called on all foreign nations to provide a royal blood noble or royal to be King of Aquitania. In the year 2904, immediately after the loss, the Old Azurni royalty expressed interest for the Aquitanian Throne and so became the first Hohensteinburg High King in Aquitania, His Majesty High King Friedrich Hohensteiburg.

In the year 2914, High King Friedrich Hohensteinburg collapsed the Empire of Aquitania with the help of the Provisional Assembly and the acclaim of the people, the same year, the Kingdom of Prussia was founded, he also introduced the Advisory Referendums to be better informed of the opinions of the Prussian social classes, a revolutionary reform in the government and the Prussian Assembly, considering the Absolutist nature of the monarchs. Friedrich Hohensteinburg is commonly being referred to as Friedrich Hohensteinburg the Great by the Prussian people.

After his death, his son: Wilhelm succeded him as King Wilhelm of Prussia in 2924 but died five years later in the SS Aquitania disaster, placing his wife, Queen Consort Katherina Courland as Queen Regent until their son, High Prince Alexander Augustus Hohensteinburg came of age to take the throne.

In the year 2934, Alexander succeded his mother as High King Alexander II Hohensteinburg of Prussia being just 17 years old, his reign was marked by economical reforms and the Stritchan Short Wars, where Prussia intervened to try and restore the Stritchan Presidential regime, in the year 2945, he helped develop the State of Aquitania in Greater UKO. By the year 2950, the King changed Prussia to Aquitania, the name that was used without interruption since the year 402, restored.

Reigning in prosperity, the sudden Higher Age ended in the year 3030 when a sudden and completely unexpected Republican Surge caused unrest and the overthrow of the House of Hohensteinburg as the rulers of Aquitania, the entire Royal Family evacuated to Lusitania, where they continue to rule as the Imperial Family, Emperors of Lusitania and Kings of Altehaupt. 

Following a relaxation of Anti-Monarchism in the Aquitanian Nation, a Plebiscite was held and 87% of the people voted for the Return of the Monarchy under the Federal Republican System that was established in the year 3030. The Kaiserin of Lusitania accepted ad was crowned Königin Maya Elisabeth na Colliete I.

Renowned Imperial Members[]

Members of the Imperial Family recognised and highly praised by the Aquitanian Public during their reign and years after their death.

The first Hohensteinburg King of Prussia and first Hohensteinburg ruler of Aquitania, in the later years of his reign he was frequently referred to as "The Great" (Der Grosse) and is widely remembered for bringing order to a country that was spiraling out of control during the Second Great Schism. He was born in Valhalla, Azurnereich on March 8th, 2846; and was styled "Friedrich August von Azurnereich", since his country had abolished the monarchy for some time in the 2800's, he exercised no political power. The future king had an impecable military career, and had many hobbies, his family being very wealthy; he enjoyed popular sports like car racing, polo and piloting. Eventhough the official and claimed status of his family was void in his country, he attended socio-political events and excersised great influence on powerful businessmen and politicians, meeting frequently with Doug Thomas, leader of Azurnereich.

In 2904, after the death of Kaiserin Morrigan Wolfkehr II, he was invited and encouraged by the Imperial Ambassador to Azurnereich to accept the Crown of Prussia, after Hall of Dyrant (Dyranttag) determined the country (Azurnereich) and him, an Aquitanian ally with cultural and linguistic similarities too close to ignore, a suitable candidate. In 2903, the prime candidates for the Imperial Crown were one of the Royal Families of the four Kingdoms excluding Prussia; namely Ludonnia, Wulffbein and Vladien; but hostilities between the Imperial Forces and Wulffbein had erupted the same year, so the Hall of Dyrant decided to place Friedrich in the Prussian Throne a few months following the Imperial invasion of Kahltforien (then in Wulffbein) in the year 2904. The prime factors that convinced the Hall of Dyrant to hand Friedrich the crown of Prussia were the following: The Prussian House of Asterien had been driven into exile following the 2892 break out of turmoil in the Second Aquitanian Reich and offering the Imperial Crown was a risk too high for the Hall of Dyrant to undertake, yet the Imperial Crown would not be handed to any King of the three Kingdoms since many noble families would never recognise their rival counterparts. Hence the Empire was officially dissolved and the territory surrounding Arkadien, bulk of the Imperial Army, was declared the Grand Duchy of Arlathan and continued its feud with the newly Independent Kingdom of Wulffbein.

Having had a militaristic upbringing, Friedrich, a month after his arrival and being crowned Friedrich I, speaking to crowds of Prussians with his sharp Azurni Accent, convinced them of the danger the other Aquitanian Kingdoms and Duchies posed to the security of the realm (Prussia) and told them to lift up their Prussian pride, long buried by Imperial Hegemony, the crowds cheered him ecstatically. A day later, the Prussian Army was mobilised on the newly established Republic of Savoy, which had so far claimed neutrality in the fresh Arlathii-Wulffbein Conflict in the east. Knowing that such opportunity would never show up in the future, Friedrich took advantage of Vladish and Ludonnian concerns over the conflict on their Eastern backyards and invaded Savoy on July 24th, 2904. His favourite grandson, Alexander August, always featured with him in the fields of battle ever since he turned 8 years old, much to the protest of his daughter in law. His grandson made his military debut in the year 2910 during the siege of Straussstadt, bringing defeat to Ludonnia on March and invading Vladien in August the same year to be upon the Lux Holy City by the beginning of 2911.

Friedrich the Great's eventual military success and Prussian domination of the entire territorial composition of the former Second Aquitanian Reich brought great praise and deity like admiration by the Aquitanian public, particularly that of Prussians. He died in the year 2923, age 77 and was succeeded by his son Wilhelm I (born 2868). Wilhelm I died in the SMS Aquitania disaster just five years into his reign and was succeded by Alexander II, the sole survivor of the sinking along with his mother. Consipiracy and mystic believers suggests that the affection Friedrich held for his youngest grandson caused him to ascend the throne after the death of his father and older brother: Wilhelm Augustus, Prince of Prussia, born 2892.

Alexander II became one of the most celebrated monarchs of Prussia and later under his reforms, after 2950, as the first King of the Second Kingdom of Aquitania. He lead the initial colonization of Altehaupt in Centura Donna and joined the UKO. He fathered future King Wilhelm II of Aquitania and Pauline Hohensteinburg, who married Andres Souza in 2955 during the height of the Lusitanian Reich. 


Kaiser Friedrich II

Friedrich Wilhelm Hohensteinburg-Colliete was born to Kaiser Wilhelm V in the year 3142 and succeeded his father in the year 3154 at the age of 12 when the senior Kaiser passed as a result of a Heart Attack. The young Kaiser was expected to assign a Regent and take the throne De Facto when he turned 17, but instead did not and immediately addresses several issues in the nation; a declining World Market demand and the IMF threat. He successfully managed to solve the quick 3158 Recession with quick tax fluctuations and cooperation with the Republic of Ardglass. He later signed the incorporation of Ceres into the ECT-2, creating the ECT-3. The young Kaiser is very popular among the population, happy for such a refreshing ruler since König Alexander II (Fourth Great-Grandfather) ascended the throne at age 18 in the year 2934 after his father perished in the SS Aquitania Disaster. The Kaiser enjoyed travelling and visited allied heads of state frequently.

Since her arrival to Aquitania, she showed great interest in mastering the Aquitanian Language and politics. She was and still is popular posthumously with the people for her beauty and mother resembling kindness to the Aquitanians.

She was the twin sister of Her Serene Majesty the Queen Mother Mint na Colliete of East Haven "Passed Ruler of the East Heaven Kingdom, Knight of the Dragon Guard, Master Archer of the Sanyu Rangers and Priestess of Lucia". Together the sisters were the eldest children of four, one Prince and a Princess. Maya Elisabeth was known for still taking and giving and receiving advice from and to her Sister the Queen of East Heaven. The Kaiserin was highly admired for her simple life by the Common people, her initial months as Kaiserin proved successful, with her lively image representing Aquitania as a nation posthumously.

She was restored as Kaiserin of Aquitania in the year 3050 and and ruled until she passed away in the year 3127 at age 106. She is depicted in the $20 Mark Bill of Aquitania since 3130 ($20 Aquitanische Mark).
