Francis Bourbon

Francis Phillippe Louis Bourbon or King Phillippe III is the second child of Phillippe and Carmina and is King of J Andres. His father was the King of J Andres and Vinsalia and joined the two nations together following the Grand Mexican War.

His older brother Orson became King following the assassination of their father in 2113. Orson took the royal name Phillippe II to honor his father. He was 22 years old at the time of his coronation. He married his wife, Maisie the following year after arranging a marriage with her father, Justin, King of Ottania. The reign of Phillippe II was cut short in 2115 when he was murdered on the beaches of Puerto Pacis. The attack has been credited to assassins sponsored by Quebec and members of the Libertarian party.

As Phillippe II had died without issue, Francis ascended to the throne, taking the name Phillippe III to honor both his father and his brother. At the time of his coronation, Francis was engaged to Jazmin Rice, high long-time girlfriend and a reporter. However, he was strongly counseled by the Labor party, notably President Pierre Bourbon and Premier Mateo Bourbon, that he must marry his brother's widow, Princess Maisie of Ottania to complete the agreement made by his predecessor. Francis reluctantly agreed, and they married on Christmas Day of the same year.
