Acuyo

From Almeopedia

Acuyo [a ˈku yo] was a king of Verduria, the seventh and last of the Prežeon dynasty.

He was born in 3092, the son of king Ažerey 1e. He was widely considered more capable than his older brother Zol, and he came to believe it; however, his father insisted on the eldest becoming king after him.

Declaring that, after all, his great-great-grandfather Ževuran had done the same, he convinced a general, Boďomor Kušďey, to occupy the palace, imprison Zol, and make him king (3115). He was just 23. This was widely resented, but it was considered something of a dynastic matter— though Peleu took Acuyo’s coup as a pretext to secede.

The real scandal proved to be Acuyo’s government, which he viewed chiefly as an excuse to gratify his whims. He declared polygamy legal and married multiple wives; he spent enormous sums rebuilding the royal palace; he made the University of Verduria grant him a scrifteca and the perař of Verduria declare him a surperař; he held state dinners where attending aristocrats were required to wear humiliating clothes or compete in absurd games. In 3126 he decided to be a general himself, and mounted campaigns to restore territory lost by his predecessors. This was an expensive and destructive hobby, and the nobles began to talk about restoring Zol.

Instead, in 3128, Kušďey took over the palace again, this time on his own behalf. He had both Acuyo and Zol killed, and declared himself the new king of Verduria. He also decreed the repeal of all of Acuyo’s laws.
