His Majesty King Đurađ IV
Grand Master of the Drenovian Order
Duke of Dabašnica
Born in 1986 Đurađ is the eldest of three children from the marriage of King Luca III and his first wife Queen Suya. His brother Dobroslav (b.1988) and sister Anamarija (b.1990) along with half siblings, Naida (b.1994) and Danilo (b.1997) , from his father's 2nd marriage to Queen Gabrijela form the backbone of today's royal family. Đurađ like most royals was born in the Hospital of the Drenovian Order in Opatija and was from the age of four educated in the Orders various academies.
At the age of 17 he left education and first enrolled in the nations Air Force where he served from 2003 to 2007 as a helicopter pilot before taking his skills back to the Drenovian Order where he became a member of their military branch entering with the rank of Quaster. In 2008 he married Terezija Kolarić, the daughter of the Duke of Dabašnica and the Vice Commander of the Household of the Drenovian Order. Terezija is a year younger than Đurađ.
In 2009 there was some controversey when Luca III divorced Queen Suya citing "religious irregularities" from his wife. This caused some to speculate that Đurađ and his full siblings may be disinherited from the line of succession however that was not the case, largely because the Commander of the Household of the Drenovian Order vouched for the piety of Đurađ having witnessed his devotions at the Orders HQ.
In 2010 Đurađ's wife gave birth to their first child Princess Radojka. Đurađ immediately began negotiations with the Commander of the Household of the The Order of the Forest,Ljudevit Noa Stojanović, to make an arrangement for the Princess to marry Stojanovic's son who was born just a week before the Princess. The two have concluded a marriage contract however the details are yet to be made public.
In 2012 Đurađ's step mother, Queen Gabrijela died suddenly from a short illness sending his father into a spiral of depression during which King Luca "discovered the God in his heart" as such the King believed that he was being called into religious duty and announced that he would be abdicating the throne in order to enter the Priesthood. As such on the 16th June 2012 Đurađ became the King of the nation and Grand Master of the Drenovian Order.
On the 17th June 2012 Đurađ used his authority as King to negate the marriage contract of Jožica Franić, a young 18 year old noblewoman who had caught his eye a year before but was promised to a family as a bride to their 15 year old son. Đurađ is understood to use his authority to make the boys family important ranks within a religious order as compensation for ending the contract and allowing him to marry Jožica.
Later that year the King's first wife Terezija gave birth to their second child, Prince Karlo.
In 2017 the King welcomed the birth of his second son, his first child with Queen Jožica. The boy was named Prince Hrvoje however the child was born with some spinal deformation meaning he is unable to walk unsupported. Some have said this is punishment for the King using his powers to take Jožica away from her marriage contract.
