Rosaline Strauss

Her Imperial Majesty, Archduchess Rosaline von Strauss, By the Grace of God, Archduchess of Hulstria (1828 - 1896) was the wife of Archduke Maxmilian IV von Strauss, Archduke of Hulstria and mother of Archduke Philip II von Strauss, Archduke of Hulstria, Duke of NeueLiore; nobles in present day Gishoto. She is notable in history for being the only matriarch in history of the Strauss Imperial Family. She assumed the role at the age of only 22, following the death of her husband in the Third Battle of Pfalthzburg. She over saw the government of Hulstria until her death in 1896. Little protest was made over her ascention to the Head of Hulstria's most important family surprisingly. Even after her son Philip came of age to claim the position, his love of his mother and his desire to become Grand Duke of Emperor Klaus Gustav I's government inclined him not to claim the position until her death.
