Ernest II

Ernest II, King of Ernestia was King of Ernestia from 1880 to his death. He is described by noted historian Amadeus Morlock as:"Was born in 1835, and was given the title His Excellency the Prince-Elect's Son of Ernestia, which may sound rather funny when you say it. When, in 1850, his father became King of Ernestia, it was a complicated matter to see what to style him next. Should he be: His Majesty the King of Ernestia's Son, or His Royal Highness the King of Ernestia's Son? The former meaning: The son of his Majesty the King of Ernestia, and the latter meaning, His Royal Highness the Son of the King of Ernestia. The problem was solved by award-winning physicist Joseph de Bancks, who came up with the simple but neat 'Crown Prince of Ernestia', a very original idea. This was almost a waste of time, as a mere thirty years later the Crown Prince became King of Ernestia himself."He was born in 1835 to Ernest I and his consort, Magda, a Princess of Ballia and Jorne.
