Micheaux

Grand Prince Micheaux the Magnificent was Grand Prince of Taldor from 4499 AR to 4526 AR. He succeeded the childless Beldam II, who adopted Micheaux a year before dying in 4499 AR.¹ Before his adoption, Micheaux had been a powerful Taldan nobleman.²

Micheaux was married to Euphemi Finara and until 4718 AR were believed to have had a son, Stavian, on 5th Lamashan, 4497 AR. Stavian I would succeed Micheaux as Grand Prince in 4526 AR.¹

Disputed bloodline

During the War for the Crown in 4718 AR, agents of Micheaux's once-presumed descendant Eutropia Stavian linked High Strategos Maxillar Pythareus to a false-flag plot stoking war with Qadira and discredited him.³ In response, agents of Pythareus published records indicating that Stavian I was an illegitimate heir born of the disgraced House Adella. This in turn invalidated the Stavians' bloodline claim to the crown. The records were subsequently confirmed by multiple academics.⁴
