Ekaterina of Serbovia, Queen of Arendaal

Ekaterina of Serbovia ("Ekaterina the Fair") (1800 - 1890) was the second wife of King Karl V "the Great" of Arendaal, and the Queen Consort of Arendaal and Götarike (Suionia), between 1825 and 1839. She was a sister of King Sergei V of Serbovia (later Emperor of the Serboves Sergei I Dragovic). Ekaterina married Karl V two years after the death of his first wife, Julienne of Cambria. Ekaterina herself remarried shrotly after Karl’s death, wedding the Count of Svalberg in 1841.

King Karl V had been one of the leaders of the 1790-1800 Revolution of Light which established Arendaal as a secular state, a Parliamentary Democracy with limited suffrage (for individuals of all genders with over a certain level of income) and introduced the Declaration on the Rights of All Citizens and Peoples. In 1812, he forged the Second Union of Bergen, uniting the Aren and Götariken (Suionian) crowns until 1956.

Ekaterina and King Karl V were married at Trondheim Catherdral in 1825, in the city where the Serbovian Princess first landed in Arendaal. The couple maintained a friendly, if somewhat cool, relationship. The Count of Svalberg, whom Ekaterina later married, is considered to have been the true love of her life.

The fact that Ekaterina suggested naming her second daughter with Karl “Juliette”, after his first wife, Julienne of Cambria, was thought to testify to her “un-jealous” nature. Interestingly, Juliette would later marry the King of Cambria.
