Early Life

Frederik Aleksandr Ludovar, known through his life as Fredrick, was the eldest son of the eloped union of Aleksandr Ludovar, Duke of Kvaz, and his wife Sofiya Baruch. Born in 1748, the young Fredrick found himself in a family apathetic to his arrival. The Ludovar clan in recent years had suffered huge losses to its power and prestige- its former patriarch, Prince Jakob of Ulgaard, was castrated and shamed in a kangaroo trial orchestrated by rival families, paramount amongst them being the rising Baruch tribe. The trial hinged on the support of a traitorous kinsman: Fredrick’s grandfather, Petyr, reportedly born with a mental handicap and an intense hatred for his senior cousin. For his role in the downfall and death of Prince Jakob, Petyr’s father Henrik-Otto, the newly raised 3rd Duke of Kvaz, banished him from the family estates and disinherited him from the family fortune. However, the Duke took his young grandson, Aleksandr, as his heir and successor.

 

Aleksandr grew to become a rash and romantic youth, swayed and controlled purely by his emotions; large mood-swings and passionate outbursts were a common occurrence, and he came frequently under scrutiny for his careless attention to contemporary moral and courtly standards. During his 16th year, Aleksandr vanished, only to reappear some four years later with deep debts and a pregnant wife. His grandfather was furious, though it unknown whether he took more offense to the mindless spending habits of his son or that he took a gentry wench named Sofiya Baruch, distant cousin of the mainline Ayr branch, as wife and future duchess. While never fully disenfranchised, Aleksandr spent most of his time away in pseudo-exile within his paltry southern townhouse, located in the lower middle-class district of the imperial capital. 

 

Born in 1748, the young Fredrik spent much of his early life in the streets of Helena and New Reza, as well as frequently visiting his cousins in the County of Ayr. But, once his father took ill, he took his position of head of house at age ten. He quickly was rushed through his schooling and took over completely after the regency ended when he turned fourteen, whereupon he summoned all the Ludovar cadets and branches and organized the dissolution of Ludovyk and pledged to restore the status of nobility to the family in the mainland [Editors Note: Ludovar had their titles stripped shortly after Duke Aleksandr’s death.]

3-17 Jula-Piov 322 ES (1769 IST) - Operation Ulgaard (Kidnapping of the Princess of Rubern)

 

Alongside the seasoned warriors of his kin, Isaak Ludovar, Reimar Ludovar and Heinrik Ludovar, he pledged his loyalty to King Sigismund II offering him many gifts. King Sigismund II in return hired the men underneath himself [Editors Note: They were allowed the only levy in the Kingdom at the time] and famously ruled the [Ludovar Trial], a mistrial. A noteworthy accomplishment of House Ludovar. Frederick named the company, the ‘Fredrik Irregulars’ or the ‘Northland Hussars’. It mainly operated as a cavalry group, similar to the Kovachev Hussars. [Editor's Note: The calvary group was used historically by Kings to be the first engagement in skirmishes and to process the Prince of Kusoraev into his coronation.] The Fredrik Irregular’s most famous mission for King Sigismund II was named the [Ulgaard Operation] and was set out to assassinate the Princess of Rubern. Without much effort, Frederick, Heinrik and Isaak infiltrated the Rubern Palace, capturing the Princess and taking her back to New Reza. It was a marvelous feat and Frederick was given the honors of killing her himself. 


 

After winning many battles and skirmishes alongside the likes of the Hounds of Johnstown, Haense Royal Army (Also called “Brotherhood of Saint Karl”) and the Imperial State Army, Frederick was given a County directly from Emperor Peter III and a sizeable fief which contained the lands of Johnstown. Frederick was also bestowed knighthood by the Emperor.

This act grew tensions between the two nations and ultimately led to the Haeseni Independence. Sir Frederick Ludovar was the last Haense Lord to sign their independence from Haense because of his status within the empire. He negotiated a deal with the Emperor and the King and was able to retain his new land and his peerage and knighthood were transferred to the Kingdom of Haense.

Johnstown was a fief within the Northern parts of Haense, consisting of devout zealots and farmers alike. It was the bastion of the Northland Hussars which guarded Haense famously from the Scyfling Invasions. The other Haense lords were critical of the land and rewards Frederick received and pressured King Josef to strip the Ludovars of their military company and forcilly mandate them into the Haense Royal Army. This angered the lords of Johnstown and resparked the Baruch and Ludovar feud.

Sir Frederick was inducted to the Order of the Rose and Lily for his military prowess and achievements. He with the likes of Ser Demetrius Ruthern, transformed the training of the Haense Royal Army and made Haense the superior fighting force of the Empire.

No warriors or companies in the Kingdom’s history come close to the prestige or impression on generations to come than the Ludovar Hussars.
