Brandon Perenolde II

King Brandon Perenolde II is known as the Brandon the Young throughout history as he inherited the reign at the age of 6 and spent most of his reign under a regency. Brandon Perenolde II enjoyed nearly two decades of rule, dying in the Great Fire. His pregnant wife later gave birth to a son, though they both died shortly afterward. Without any heir, the crown passed to his cousin, Amelia Perenolde.

Childhood
As the child of Lady Gerrent and Prince Brandon Perenolde, the Bear Prince, Brandon II was born shortly after his father captured Alterac City from his older brother, King Astric Perenolde. However after his father's defeat and his uncle's restoration to the throne, the infant Brandon II's name and claim to the throne was revoked by King Astric.

Three years later, on his deathbed, King Astric, having no heir of his own, rescinded his previous proclamation and named his nephew, Brandon II his heir.

Regency
Because Brandon II was only a child, Lord Lothrington was installed as his regent. As regent, Lord Lothrington governed the realm well, betrothing Lady Gerrent, Brandon II's own mother. Lord Ceymar Lothrington became a father figure for the young King who had no memory his true father. However, his aunt, Dowager-Queen Genevieve Perenolde, the late wife of King Astric and the daughter of King Geras Trollbane, was often troublesome at court. Constantly protesting Lord Lothrington's policies and often threatening her father's intervention should she not get her way. Despite minor struggles, after twelve years of Lord Lothrington's regency, King Brandon Perenolde II ascended to the throne.

Reign
As King, Brandon II did very little of note. The seven years of his reign were uneventful and peaceful. His reign and life ended as a result of the Great Fire. The Great Fire was a blaze started by an unknown source within the Alterac Keep. The fire claimed the lives of many of the royal family, including the Dowager-Queen, Lord Lothrington and the Queen-Mother. The only royal family member to survive the blaze was the Queen, pregnant with Brandon II's son.

The trauma of the event caused the Queen to go into labor, neither the Queen nor her son survived the event. Having no living kin, save his distant cousin, the throne fell to Amelia Perenolde, whose claim had technically been restored by King Astric.
