King Frederick

His Majesty King Frederick of Camuria, Lord of Godricsun 29 July 1967 - 27 December 1993

Early Life
Frederick Forrest was born in December 1911 in Liverpool. He worked for his father in a laundrette for many years and lived in a quite good area of Liverpool at the time. After the outbrake of the Second World War he became an ammunition factory inspector and met his future wife, Edith. In 1940 his father was killed during the blitz and the family laundrettes were all destroyed. He became father to Ian Forrest and another three children before founding Camuria, which would be left to his son, Ian.

As Monarch
King Frederick was the official founder of the Kingdom of Camuria in 1967 and is currently Camuria's longest reigning monarch, from July 1967 until December 1993. He ruled as an Absolute Monarch, with only the nobility that had any influence on his policies. King Frederick spent vast amounts of money helping the first settlers build homes and keep fed for the first few years. He sold much of the land on the island to boost monetry circulation and so people could look after themselves more and not be as dependent, to a certain extent. In the latter parts of his life he carried on boosting the national wealth, but also tried to extend trade links with other micronations that he saw were potentially quite strong. He created links across the British Isles and started trade on a small scale with closer micronations. King Frederick died on 27 December 1993, at the age of 82 in his home on the edges of Godricsun. Most of the islands population turned out for the funeral and work was laid off for the day of the funeral in most privatly owned business'.
